In the posting "Letter of 15th May 2008 from the Chairman of the JMC", cost cutting measures were introduced. The first of these was regulated illumination with the primary goal of reducing the monthly electricity bill from the current RM15,000 to RM17,000 range. The results following these changes are eagerly anticipated.But, the recent hike in electricity tariff has indeed been a set back. See The Star at "Electricity Rates Go Up" and Bernama at "Mixed Reaction At New Electricity Tariff Structure".
The effect of these hikes will most certainly extinguish the planned savings from the regulated illumination. However, the bright side (pun certainly intended) to this is that there are many more ways to approach cost management while continuing with the plan already in place.
