Saifuddin said he would raise the issue at the Cabinet meeting and hear the clarification himself from the Energy, Science, Technology, Environment and Climatic Change Minister Yeo Bee Yin as the minister responsible. The issue on the rise in electricity bill has now become a hot topic on social media as consumers complained of soaring utility bills, some of which had doubled. He also acknowledged the observations and scrutiny made by the former finance minister that the prices of goods could come down was true.
