The Malaysian Insider

What movements in fuel prices?! Fuel prices dipped and then went back up... so, in essence, it remained status quo. And since when have fuel prices changed in Malaysia with the government's subsidies?!

Malaysia Boleh !

After 30% bus fare few years ago for Raya.. never go down.. yesterday go up 30% again...

now Petrol price go down.. but to cover the 'down' we announce the electricity up ?

Hmm.. maybe PM thinks the candy already given too much already.. time to get back something.. :)

“Fuel price movements are the main factors for the electricity tariff revision,” Energy Minister Peter Chin was quoted as saying in the Business Times newspaper.

If the fuel price has dropped, which it has since the financial crisis. What logical reason can our ministry have to increase the electricity rates!

NAIK LAGI! WHEN EVER IT WILL GO DOWN???

The rakyat are suffering so much from the global economic downturn and the rampant corruption and wastage AND now still have to pay up our last few ringgit so that the IPPs can be fattened further. Is there any justice and hope for the common folks in this country ? Whose side is the govt on ? During GEs and by elections, there are so many promises. But during other times, it is the GLCs and corporations who continue with their unchecked exploitation and craze for money and it is always the rakyat who are the victims.

oh my god....electricity hike now after fares hike???? what the hell is going on??? isn't it true fuel has gone down tremendously but there's still a hike???

doesn't this boozer energy minister knows that by hiking electricity, all consumers goods will be automatically HIKED TOO like from the cheap mee maggie to building materials ?? manufacturing industries will also have to pass the cost to the consumers in the end!!!!

if boozer say government plans to cut off subsidies, is it because those subsidies should go to 'individuals account' instead?? why not stand up and fight for the cause of the rakyat. a suggestion to boozer is to convince the government to reduce the in-takes of national training and has that cost to transfer to better use like electricity.

the rakyat is not ready to absorb industries costs YET because the average income of us is still very LOW and can hardly SAVE money in the bank at the of the day. we are not like boozer or any high position bn members who to them, these costs are like peanuts to their pockets.

Price of petroleum goes down but electricity prices goes up where is the bloody logic? It seems that electricity prices will go up regardless of the market forces. Thank you umno bn for your "concern" about the well being of your citizens. We will surely continue to vote for you so that we can be screwed forever by your corrupt and unaccountable government.

Yes, fuel is and will continue to be the main cost components in electrical power generation and distribution.

No, to tariff increase as fuel is not the only factor. TNB should seriously employ an effective strategy to curb power losses as much of what is being produced is currently loss during distribution, mainly due to inefficiency.

i thot the citizens of m'sia is subsidizing the fuel for government @ one time..??!!

You know what they say.... If its too good to be true...

Aiyaaa... Jibby you can take back the 20% rebate on toll electronic payment usage I DON'T WANT IT!
You give us peanuts and then you increase transportation fares and now electricity...

Aiya! Yau mo kau choo aaa... Now everything else would go up!

Why the crude oil price fall apart but increment comes? When the electricity rate goes up we will vote for the opposition.

mmm... after the transport fees hike, now power rates are going up. Next will be another wave of major food and other daily necessities inflation, on top of the last hike caused by fuel price increase. This sounds crazy!

For those who were going "yippee" at Najib's recent bag of goodies, which included discount on toll rates......told ya.

This BN gov'n does not give free hand-outs. They "give" you "concession" from one pocket, only to screw you from another.

So, this is how all your purported toll "discounts" will be "re-collected".

Hope to see the electricity tariff goes sky-high!!!
Let all the poor become poorer
Increase taxi,public transport fares higher
Increase ALL essential food prices
We are in 1 Malaysia!!!

Right hand gives, left hand takes back and we think he's great !

i hope that someone can explain to me how come the electricity tariffs will go up even after the gov cut their subsidies on fuel prices because compare to the last time, tnb gave the reason for them to increase the tariff is because the fuel price is too high (around $150 per barrel). but now, the fuel price is around $60 per barrel. so how come they want to increase the price now since the fuel price is much lower now compared to 2 or 3 years ago?

"rakyat diutamakan" my ass

how can they push up everything when there's a recession... so many people jobless la... money doesn't grow on trees la

Naik lagi....inilah stail UMNO. Lintah kepada rakyat. Rakyat papa kedana tak apa asalkan orang UMNO kaya raya.

What the heck...we are already paying fuel tax for each litre , now this. This government does everything cosmetic.
Nice PACKAGING but ROTTEN inside.

General prices for food and other products and services will sky roket again causing more hardships to the rakyat. What good governance?

BN- Barang naik policies..semua naik..gaji sector awam pun ada naik.
Yang kena tanggung adalah pengguna golongan sederhana & rendah..mana ada gaji naik.Kenapa tambang Bas Express naik lagi..(sudah naik 30% tahun lalu)..?
Mereka akan `upgrade'perkhidmatan mereka & akan diperiksa oleh kerajaan..saya tidak harap kerana..
orang yang periksa tu adalah orang sendiri mereka.., boleh jamin keselamatan penumpang ka?
Berapa kalikah bus-bus tersebut perlu di servis..setiap bulan? setahun sekali? Pemandu pun tidak itu peraturan juga. Perlukah kos maintenance di tanggung oleh penumpang..mana rekodnya? Kelesaan penumpang...tempat duduk sempit..kaki kebas selalu, tiada tv, lambat sampai & pemandu kurang prihatin utk periksa penumpang sebelum bertolak (tempat rehat).
Kalau minyak akan naik balik..naik la tambang bus ye..siapa untung..kerajaan.

I'm still trying to adjust to the last electricity tariff increase and now you're going to increase it some more? That's just sealed it. I'm a fence sitter no more.

The UMNO/BN government is taking the easy way out. Instead of finding ways of reducing the tariffs and other charges, they simply increase and collect more money.

Unfortunately the ignorant kampung folks are not aware of the UMNO/BN government sucking their blood, thus they still vote for the regime.

One Malaysia !

Why must punish the Rakyat ?
Now we are paying less petrol, but government want us to pay higher electricity?

However Investors policies or Whatever policies BN implement, they DID NOT BENEFIT THE RAKYAT !!

Get rid of expired politicans who had been too long in the political arena. Peter Chin is one of them and should be condemned to the political graveyard!

Wait, they give us a 20% discount on toll... then they raise city bus, express bus, school bus, taxi, and electricity??? When oil prices have dropped compared to last year?

If you own an express bus company (which also means you're politically connected)... this is a double bonanza; discount on toll, and squeezing your passengers .

If you drive and have a family, you pay 20% less for toll, but pay more on taxi, school bus, and the electric bill! Lets not mention that food will go up, because of higher electricity costs.

Giving you pennies, then stealing your dollars.

Thanks a lot Barang Naik!
