..The premier added that the electricity tariffs too will be increased, effective July 1.
He said the power tariff rate would remain the same for households which use below 200 kilowatt of electricity, which amount to RM43.60.
However, those using more than 200 kilowatt will have to pay around 20 percent more.
National power supplier Tenaga Nasional will announce its new price structure at 12 noon tomorrow.

59% of the households will not be affected by this increment. Those poor people falls into this category.
Another 41% who use more have to pay more. Maybe they can start to berjimat cermat. How far this will affect malaysian, we just have to wait and see. Sometimes, we just have to be fair to them la BN. They implement something to solve, of course implementation needs time, wait and see. If nothing changed, things get worse, we'll see who else have better option.
Will changing the government solve this? I don't think so.
The only way this will affect the poor, is if the restaurant/shop/mall owners that falls into the 41% group try to absorb the higher electricity bills into their food price and services. I hope this doesn't happen since the world is at crisis, and some has to sacrifice a bit chunk of their profit for the benefit of others.
Maybe a public lecture on responsibility, reliability and patriotisme will help instead of hours long session of lecture on global economy.
