KUALA LUMPUR: Pakatan Rakyat today slammed Putrajaya for its proposal to increase electricity tariff in Malaysia between 10 and 20 per cent next year.
Klang MP Charles Santiago said today the increment would have detrimental effects on the people who are already struggling with their current electricity bills.
“What will have a bigger impact isn’t the increase in salary, but the increase in electricity tariff because everything else will increase,” Santiago told FMT, referring to the new salaries for Selangor state government officials which have been described as “too high”.
