PUTRAJAYA: It won’t necessarily be the T20 household income group that will feel the pain of the removal of the subsidy for electricity, but all high-consumption domestic users.

While most domestic consumers in Peninsular Malaysia will not experience an increase in the electricity tariff for the next six months beginning July 1, those whose current monthly electricity bill is at least RM708 will see a minimum 25% increase in their bills.
