KEPALA BATAS: The Government has not decided whether to raise the power tariff in the country despite the escalating fuel price, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said.
“We’ve not decided on anything yet,” the Prime Minister told reporters after opening the Kepala Batas Hospital here.
He was asked to comment on the statement by Tenaga Nasional Bhd chief executive officer Datuk Seri Che Khalib Mohamad Noh that the company, burdened with high operating costs following the increase in the oil and gas as well as coal prices in the market, had submitted a proposal to the Government to raise the electricity tariff.
Abdullah said the increase in the price of oil and other fuels was acutely felt and was sure to hurt Tenaga Nasional.
On the appointment of a new Chief Justice, Abdullah said there was no development on the matter.
“I’ve already said that I will not discuss the matter in public,” he said.
Chief Justice Tun Ahmad Fairuz Sheikh Abdul Halim is going on compulsory retirement on Oct 31.
