SINGAPORE: Electricity tariffs will increase by 4.3 per cent for the next three months beginning this Sunday.
SP Services said this is due to higher fuel prices, which have resulted in higher power generation costs.
Average fuel oil price over January, February and March was up 7.3 per cent, increasing from S$127.07 to S$136.37 per barrel.
The hike in fuel oil prices saw a corresponding increase in the price of natural gas which is used for power generation in Singapore.
SP Services said the higher electricity tariffs will see average monthly electricity bills for those living in four-room HDB flats to go up by S$4.18.

Generally, they don't vote basing on national interest. Voting here is based on fear, attitude of kiasi and kiasu, personal childish mentality and so on.

Profiteering from utility charge??????? Increases can be like 3 to 4 times or more in a year. Some people have been conned to believe that PaPigs no longer own the utility business. haizzzz! SP is only the agent assisting the govt to collect money from the utility bills.

Thank to the 60 pluse %

Don't think we will ever see a change of hands in running of this little island. I am for a govt who do not treat a country as a business organisation for profit.

No, the bill will be the same.
What you saved for that one hour was to pay for the 4.3% increase.
