Can the Opposition bring the utility price down?

Measures to help offset rising power charges

my paper


THE Government cannot insulate Singaporeans from volatile electricity-market prices, but it will continue to mitigate the impact of rising prices on household costs, Senior Minister of State for Trade and Industry S. Iswaran said.

In Parliament yesterday, he said: "Volatility is something we must get used to. The long term trend is probably upwards, because of the various fundamental pressures like more demand for energy from the developing market."

Measures that the Government are already taking include the Utilities Save rebate scheme, which can be used to offset utility charges.


Mr Iswaran also defended the liberalisation and privatisation of Singapore's energy market since 2001, which he said has promoted diversity, newer and more efficient technologies and helped fight price hikes.

For example, while fuel-oil prices have increased by 160 per cent in the past eight years, electricity prices for households - which are pegged to the former - have risen by only 15 per cent.

i think can.

call for SP services to close down.

save the agent fees.

 

[niigata]

at least it is a fact that PAP cannot bring down the prices...
we should give our opposition a chance to try?

Yes, the operational aspect (dirty work) of it have already been contracted out. Shutting down SP services will certain reduce cost.

 

[Man in the streets]

it is a gospel fact that shutting down SP services will help to save at least 30% of cost.

The three power stations are sold to foreigners , therefore bills should come from them instead.
PUB should send invoices either.

SP services acts as a bill -collecting agent as it argues it has the database, but manpower needs to monitor meters also come from SP services, thus the high cost.

If Oppo parties suggest SP services to close, then employees at SP will vote for PAP.

Oppo parties should suggest the system and employees transfer wholely to the owners of power stations and cost will cut down for all consumers.

it is true, SP services is eating up all the profits , and further, on what ground they decide the price should go up and down.....how do they do it without the owners' formula.

It's not a fact the PAP cannnot bring down the price, it's just that they refused to bring down the price. The opposition had their chances, the fact is they toe the line, they dont confront and oppose enough.

public utilities should not be profit oriented...

 

[knnpapccb]

There is only and One way: Make PAP the Opposition! & That's it!

 

[Kid278]

opposition NO.
utility price depend on world wide factors. like global cruel and gas price.

Not too long ago when oil prices dropped, Hong Kong reduced its electrical tariffs by 3%. If they can do it, there is no reason why we cant. PAP will only give loads of rubbish about saving rebates but never any transparency in justifying not reducing utility prices.

 

[ChaoPappyPoodle]

We can reduce or remove the taxes we pay for water.

We can reduce or remove the taxes we pay for gas/oil that is used for utility purposes.

We can revise the method used to calculate the actual prices paid.

We can and should renegotiate the price of gas which is a lot cheaper than oil and which runs a majority of our power plants here.

The garment makes a lot of money. Even land sales are not stated in the budget here. Even when the PAppies say that we have a budget deficit the so-called deficit doesnt take ito account of land sales which goes into billions of dollars.

Almost everything that the PAPy touches is ound to lead to an increase in costs to Singaporeans. Therefore, it follows logically that costs can be reduced if the PAPies are elected out of garment.

What's even better is that some deserving people may end up in prison for their shenanigans.
