When petrol price at the pump jumped to a high of RM2.70 a liter in June 2008, we also experienced a jump in electricity tariff rate a month later. The main reason given for both increases was the high price of crude oil then which was peaking at US120 per barrel.
Now our petrol price at the pumped has dropped to RM1.90 a liter because global crude oil price had tumbled to below US$50 per barrel these days.
Up till now we have since had 5 revisions down of our petrol price at the pump but there had been zero decrease in electricity tariff rate all this while. Why is it?
Should the government be seriously looking into this unfair situation and dictate that Tenaga Nasional Berhad stop unscrupulous profiteering and immediately reduce its electricity tariff rate to the rakyat so as to be fair to them?

Soalan Mingguan WR Anda #38
Tatkala harga minyak melonjak setinggi RM2.70 seliter pada Jun 2008, kita juga mengalami kenaikkan kadar elektrik sebulan kemudian. Aalan utama ketika itu adalah harga paling tinggi untuk minyak mentah iaitu US120 setong.
Kini harga minyak telah turun kepada RM1.90 seliter kerana harga minyak mentah sedunia telah jatuh kepada US$50 setong pada masa kini.
Sampai hari ini, kita telah melalui penurunan harga minyak selama 5 kali di stesen minyak tetapi tiada sebarang penurunan kadar elektrik. Mengapa?
Patutkah pihak pentadbiran mengkaji keadaan nan tidak adil ini secara mendalam dan mengarahkan Tenaga Nasional Berhad memberhentikan pencarian keuntungan secara tidak telus dan jujur dan menurunkan kadar elektriknya kepada rakyat jelata demi keadilan ?
