Why M’sians pay higher electricity rates

Pakatan Rakyat MPs, irked by minister's response,
lay the blame squarely on the government's
direct tenders to IPPs.
KUALA LUMPUR: Closed tenders involving Independent Power Producers (IPPs) ultimately lead to higher electricity prices, said Pakatan Rakyat MPs.

PJ Utara MP (DAP) Tony Pua said that Malaysians paid more for their electricity than the Thais despite local IPPs getting more natural gas subsidies.

“Despite higher subsidies in Malaysia, our electricity prices are higher. They are higher than in Thailand, despite local IPPs enjoying much higher subsidies than in Thailand,” he told reporters in Parliament lobby.
