Questions people ask

Does the 25% electricity discount apply in Penang or KL?

No. The 25% discount and RM5 water subsidy are Sarawak state programmes. If you live outside Sarawak, your bill is unchanged.

Is the 25% discount new for 2027?

No. Sarawak has been running it. What changed is the confirmation: it is locked in for 2027, so it will not be pulled mid-year.

How do I check if the discount is on my bill?

Check your electricity bill for the 25% discount and your water bill for the RM5 subsidy. If you cannot find them, contact your utility provider.
