(吉隆坡1日讯)华总会长丹斯里吴添泉披露,随著政府在去年杪宣布今年调高包括跨国公司在内的国内中等及高用电力商业用户电费后,国能公司在今天开始陆续发予厂商的上月份电费月结单中,经把之前的每千瓦时3.7仙附加费调高到20仙新收费,令厂商大叹吃不消!
他说,这项在今年1月开始生效的新电费,国能是根据成本转嫁机制(ICPT)调整有关附加费,今天经有厂商向向华总申诉,指上月须缴付的电费经比之前(去年)增加约5倍之谱,让业者震惊不已。
他举例,来自雪兰莪州的一名厂商投诉说,在该厂最新接获的上月电费月结单中,1月的用电量是308,586千瓦时,国能以最新的每千瓦时20仙附加费计算,必须支付电费高达6万1717令吉20仙;如果同个用电量是根据之前的每千瓦时3.7仙附加费的话,需要支付的电费是1万1417令吉68仙,相较下大幅度提高了5万零299令吉52仙(约5倍)!
他说,这些厂商惊见有关的涨幅极大后,纷纷表示难以负荷,尤其是目前所面对的劳工和薪资、进口原料、利率上升、国际竞争等多重压力下,再加上涨幅过高的电费,肯定将对厂商业界的整个生产线和营业等,造成更大打击。
“对厂商和企业界来说,将是面对了3年冠病疫情,目前正重整旗鼓迎向复苏之际的另一项严重和沉重挑战!”
他希望政府介入,并积极关注此事态进展,通过与厂商和业界代表展开深入对话,了解工商界在这方面所面对的问题,从中寻求多赢方式化解。
他建议政府或国能可能先暂缓执行调整电费行动,与业界通过协商对话,探讨分阶段的缓冲期落实,同时有关的涨幅也不应过高。
吴添泉今天在文告中表示,政府之前已经宣布,从今年1月1日至6月30日调高包括跨国公司在内的中等及高用电量商业用户的电费,根据一些厂商业者保守预计,这项调整下,实际电费涨幅大约超过40%,而对一些大型商业的电费预计也将增加25至30%间,胥视电价等级。
他希望政府全面关注和尽速跟进此事,避免在连锁性效应下加剧国内通胀,除了导致厂商失去竞争力,也拖慢国家在经济各领域的复苏进程而得不偿失。
无论如何,他也对政府保证家庭用户并不受电费高涨影响的声明,表示欢迎。- pr/BNN

(吉隆坡31日讯)华总会长丹斯里吴添泉认为,如果新政府能够执政至届满,也就意味着国家在今后这5年内的政治局势,等于是稳定的。
他说,广大人民和华社,目前最大的期望是新政府能够任期至届满。
他也认为,首相拿督斯里安华所领导的团结政府,并没有蜜月期,因为必须关注很多事务,任务重大。
“首先,新政府必须确保国家政治局势的持续稳定;因为只有政治继续稳定,政府才能够继续稳定。”
“否则的话,政治一旦不稳定,就好像上一届509大选以来的4年多,不休止的政治斗争、国会数字游戏和叫嚣争议,又如何能够有效治理和发展国家?”
他说,过去的事实已经摆在眼前,不能够再重蹈覆辙。
也是沙巴中华大会堂总会长的吴添泉是日前接受《透视大马》专访时,对安华所领导的新政府,表示认同和欢迎,并表达了华社和华总对新政府的高度期望。
至于新政府在其他要优先处理的议题,也是沙闽福联会总会长的吴添泉形容,政府在这方面肯定是任重道远,优先事项也包括了振兴经济、采取更多良策加强民生经济、有效控制膨胀、稳定马币和减轻人民生活成本。
他说,政府也应该更加关注年轻人的生活和前途、留着国家人才以及留着年轻人在我国发展,不要再成为“海外猪仔”等等,这些都是重要和必须优先化解的议题和现象之一。
他期盼,新政府继续致力于稳定和团结使命,拟定更多良好的政策,促进全民之间的团结,塑造更和谐友善的社会及全民关系,在种族、教育和宗教等领域,全面摒弃极端主义,以多元取代单元等等,确保政通人和,国泰民安。-pr/BNN
