One of the things discovered in local governments in Selangor is that all telco operators (Maxis, Celcom, P1, etc) have to go thru Kumpulan Jaringan Selangor (KJS) to apply to set up telecommunication structures. KJS would then be the sole body permitted to apply to local councils (such as MPSJ) for the permit to put such towers/structures.
This has been another way the previous administration has used as a "rent seeking" measure, to milk money from these telcos for their personal pocket. It is unknown who is truly behind KJS.
This matter has been highlighted to the State Govt, and hopefully this monopoly would come to an end.
Since the telcos have been complying the last few years with KJS rates, I also propose that local council charges the same rates KJS has been charging the telcos, to increase the council's revenue. This additional revenue can be channel towards public benefits - such as increasing park lighting, resurfacing roads, etc.
