Pradas responds
In response to the above, let me clarify the matter as simply as possible:
l The frequency allocated to Pradas by MCMC as mentioned in the article clearly says that it is a commercial frequency and not amateur band.
l Pradas does not undertake the role of the amateur, but Pradas does train newcomers who are keen on becoming amateur radio operators by providing a platform whereby they can learn about and operate a radio unit legally according to procedur es. We use amateur radio guidelines issued by MCMC to train our members, a nd our objective is to have more ham radio operators in Malaysia, even though Pradas is on a commercial band.
