It said it was there to investigate a frequency interference issue, and not for reasons claimed by Tan.
MCMC, in a statement today, said the source of the interference was detected to be from a Panasonic cordless phone, with the model number KX-TGA401, owned by Tan, and he had been informed of the matter.
“MCMC would like to advise people who own or intend to use the same phone model to contact the nearby MCMC office to avoid such disruptions which affect the quality of telecommunications services in the surrounding area.
Yesterday, Tan, who is also former Nibong Tebal MP, uploaded a post on his Facebook page saying that MCMC officers had come to his house when he wasn’t at home, and claimed it was due to “political persecution”.
