RM20 electricity rebates start from October 1
| Consumers who incur RM20 or less for this month’s electricity bill will not have to pay the sum from Oct 1. A Tenaga Nasional Berhad spokesman said those consumers with electricity consumption of below RM20 would receive the rebate directly in their bills. However, the spokesman said TNB staff would continue to conduct meter readings in accordance with the company’s prevailing practice. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi had announced when tabling the Budget on Aug 29 that the Government would exempt consumers with electricity bills of RM20 or less from payments from Oct 1 till the end of next year. Abdullah said the Federal Government would bear the RM170mil cost of the bills and reduce the burden of 1.1 million low-income households. Roysmith - Hey Mr PM, Am just wondering how can I make RM20 or below for the electricity per month. Should I just use candles at night.? I don't think there will be any homes with a below RM20 bill. Prove it to me Mr PM..!! |
