PM reminds commercial sector not to raise prices despite higher electricity bills


BERA: Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob (pic) on Saturday (Jan 29), reminded companies and industry players not to raise the prices of goods although their electricity bills are expected to increase following the loss of rebates and the imposition of a surchage.

The prime minister said he was made to understand that the expected hike for commercial entities and industries would not be that high to justify an increase in prices.
