Cellular services in Kampung Salang, Pulau Tioman, Rompin, were fully restored by the telecommunications companies on January 1.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) stated that due to safety concerns and limited ferry services during the Northeast Monsoon (MTL) season, CelcomDigi could only reach Pulau Tioman on December 31 to carry out equipment replacement work. The MCMC assured continued collaboration with related agencies, such as the Fire and Rescue Department (JBPM) and the Civil Defence Force (APM), to assist service providers with transportation and logistical support, especially during the MTL season.

MCMC reported that the cellular transmission station in Kampung Salang, managed by CelcomDigi and using the Multi-Operator Core Network (MOCN) technology, was severely damaged. This caused a disruption in CelcomDigi, Maxis, and U Mobile services in the area since December 17. However, MCMC confirmed that Unifi broadband services continued to operate normally.

MCMC added that overall, there are nine transmission stations on Pulau Tioman, and all are functioning well except for the one in Kampung Salang. Earlier, MCMC received complaints from local representatives and villagers regarding disruptions to 2G and 4G cellular services in Kampung Salang, which affected nearly 100 residents due to the recent severe weather on Pulau Tioman.
