We are not proud to announce this but when we wrote about the electricity tariff hike last year, our crystal-ball predicted almost accurately when and how much the changes the government will pass to consumers.
Sources from the main stream media says that the change in power tariff, nevertheless, would not impact 75% of domestic consumers, whose total monthly usage does not exceed 300kWh, or whose monthly electricity bill is under RM77. So do you fall under the unlucky 25% population?
This does not surprise SDMalaysia at all because we understand that today, only about 15% of the workforce pays the income tax. Technically speaking, we have significantly more poor/middle class rakyats compared to the upper class society. Are we really going to be a high income nation today at the rate we are going or do we want to continue to embrace the subsidised mentality?
In the mean time, let's focus on the future. For a start, you can still make it bright and cost saving by switching your incandescent light bulbs to energy saving bulbs.
