Hi LGLab, Not boss definitely. Staying in a semi-d so may use a bit more.

Yes because my wife likes to leave alot of the lights and aircon on at night. As an illustration, my electrical + water in my flat in SG is regularly high $300 to $500 SGD. She also forgets to switch off at times. I also have some electronic stuff which is on every day, wireless AP, drybox, UPS, routers, CCTV, etc. So even dollar to dollar, its comparatively lower here.

Yes 149 RM all in. 5mb download and upload. Also can use Facebook and Youtube (included too) so you can view on your tv.

Its actually about RM 260-270 for electrical, the price for RM 300 is inclusive of water.

Hey Wuqi, you stay in semi-d with so many appliances no wonder la. That figure seems quite reasonable for all that. Yes, the RM100 include water for me too. But I stay in terrence and work in sg everyday so use very little. Moreover, got no aircon, CCTV etc. Until now haven't even installed water heater. So busy to do the water heater that I'm getting used to showering in cold water. Something that's a big no-no in the past.

are you staying in a condo? i think the charges for water are worked out a little differently.
i used to pay minimum RM16/month when i was staying in one some time back.

TNB bills under RM20 will be waived (paid by State), the recent rebate is a one-off thing. Don't know when the waiver will end but enjoy it while it lasts. However, need to be really disciplined to keep it under RM20 though.

Re: For those already staying at your Terrace House/ Semi-D / Bungalow , Share your.

that's quite hefty. your max utility bills + hp in S$ = my monthly house mortgage in RM. :p
but i guess utilities like transportation etc when privatized will go up never come down.
think MY's counterpart Tenaga seems more pro-people then mercenary for now.
