Call to increase gas price gradually


PETALING JAYA: Manufacturers and industrial consumers say the move to raise the price of natural gas to the non-power sector should be done gradually and in a more transparent manner.

The increase was ill-timed and “totally disregards” the difficult business environment faced by the steel industry, said the Malaysian Iron & Steel Industry Federation (Misif), which would object to the price hike.
