STAR, 12 July 2013
KUALA LUMPUR: The Government has yet to decide on the electricity tariff review.
Energy, Green Technology and Water Minister Datuk Seri DrMaximus Johnity Ongkili said there was a need to look at the cost of fuel, gas and other inputs which have been increasing. “There is also a need to look at how Tenaga Nasional Bhd and Petroliam Nasional Bhd can absorb the increase,” he told a media briefing here yesterday.
He said there should be a mechanism for fuel price increases, not only when one party had to bear the cost, be it the Government, utility companies or consumers.
On the water issue in Selangor, Ongkili said what was available in the state was insufficient for its own use, as well as that of the Federal Territory and Putrajaya.
Ongkili said there was a need to work together with the Selangor state government to resolve the issue. — Bernama
