Former energy minister Yeo Bee Yin says the funds can come from the electricity industry fund, Kumpulan Wang Industri Elektrik. FMTNews KWIE

Former energy minister Yeo Bee Yin says due to the challenging times, commercial enterprises should get some assistance in their electricity bills.

He said Yeo and PH should be questioned as to why they never reduced electricity tariffs after GE14 despite that.“However, he does not understand the ICPT mechanism,” Yeo said. “When the coal prices dropped at the end of 2019, we also reduced the surcharge that commercial users needed to pay from 2.55 sen to two sen for the period of January to June this year,” Yeo said.“Since we are at a challenging time, and commercial users actually have some ‘savings’ in KWIE, they should also enjoy some assistance in their electricity bills,” Yeo said.
