APRIL 24 — The movement control order has been extended. There also appears no indication that the government would be extending further financial support to low and middle income families.
This would include the electricity bills, water bills, handphone and internet bills, and Astro bills. Households currently enjoy a discount of between 15 and 50 per cent, to a limit of 600kWh based on the total monthly electricity consumption. Those with energy usage above 600kWh would receive a discount of 2 per cent.
The second major bill for many households would be on the handphone and internet bills. Fomca urges the government to give discounts of up to 50 per cent on all handphone and internet bills during the MCO period to reduce household expenditure on the payment of these bills.Households have also been complaining that the price of food and essential items have been increasing. The price of fish for example has increased substantially over the period of the MCO.
