KOTA KINABALU: The 15% electricity tariff hike is set to have a ripple effect for businesses as it could not only raise the cost of operations but also see higher cost of goods and services in Sabah, warns Warisan.
Its vice-president, Datuk Junz Wong, described the hike as ill-timed and flawed as it reflected a disconnect from the realities on the ground, as businesses have already raised their objections to the hike that was announced on Jan 31, a day before it took effect on Feb 1.
