Limited electricity tariff hike


PUTRAJAYA: Only multinational and large export-oriented companies will be subjected to an electricity tariff hike, says Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

The announcement by the Prime Minister comes after the government decided not to increase the tariff for households and small and medium enterprises (SMEs), which will result in a RM30bil crunch to the government’s coffers.
