KOTA KINABALU: The Energy Commission’s recent announcement on maintaining the rate of electricity tariffs for domestic and non-domestic consumers in Sabah and Labuan has gotten the thumbs up from the Sabah West Coast Wise Consumers Association.

Its president David Chan said the Dec 28 announcement, which sees over 656,000 consumers in the state and island federal territory unaffected by the tariff increase from Jan 1 to June 30 this year, is a welcome relief to the people.
