Singapore to raise electricity tariffs again from this April onwards

Despite continuing profit by the Singapore Power, the power generation companies and suppliers, electricity tariffs is to be raised again from this April onwards.

The Online Citizen, an online site based in Singapore, published an article with many questions, hoping to get answered so as to justify the increase in electricity tariffs.

Singapore was ranked second among 21 cities, after London, for raising electricity tariffs most, since 2005. This is something not to be proud of.

Why is the electricity tariff up again on 1 April, despite the decline in real wages last year, about 60,000 residents still unemployed as of December, and Singapore is just coming out of its worst recession?
