00:00First of all, regarding the announcement of TNB to increase electricity, I have contacted the Minister of Energy, Sri Fadhilah,
00:08the minister in charge, to ask TNB to provide an explanation.
00:14We do not allow the increase of electricity that harms the public.
00:20In the past, the increase of electricity was only related to the upper classes,
00:25which I call the rich, or the industries that make a profit.
00:29The majority of the people are not affected by the increase of electricity.
00:34Although I understand that the cost is increasing,
00:37but even though the cost is increasing, it cannot affect the well-being of the majority of the people.
00:43So, this is what I see from a basic point of view.
00:46I understand that the cost is increasing,
00:49but the increase cannot affect the well-being of the majority of the people.
00:58The TNB and Minister of Energy, Sri Fadhilah, will explain in detail.
