We do not practise simple cost-saving measures to cut down on electricity consumption.
But with a tariff hike expected, it looks like we will all have to learn to be more prudent.
BITS and pieces of news of an impending hike in electricity tariffs have been appearing in the newspapers, but mostly in the business section which ordinary consumers are likely to miss.
In terms of usage, manufacturers and industry players are the ones who will be hit the hardest. But the reality is that ordinary Malaysians can expect their electricity bill to be higher next year. And that does not even take into account the higher costs for just about everything else due to the pass-down effect.
No one is sure of the quantum. It is still at the stage where officials and civil servants are putting up their recommendations for the Cabinet to make its decision.
When the quantum of the hike becomes more definite, we can be sure there will be many reactions to the decision.
