New TNB itemised electricity bills will help consumers better understand, manage energy use
KUALA LUMPUR, July 1 — Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) customers can now scrutinise their electricity usage with a new and more detailed bill format following the implementation of a new electricity tariff structure recently announced by the Energy Commission.
The government approved the new structure under the Incentive-Based Regulation (IBR) mechanism under Section 26 of the Electricity Supply Act 1990.
According to the official myTNB website, customers will receive bills that include a breakdown of three main components: Generation Charge, Network Charge, and Retail Charge. This approach aims to enhance transparency and help users better understand the structure of their electricity bills.
'The Generation Charge covers fuel costs, generation capacity, and global fuel price adjustments. The Network Charge involves operational costs for transmission and supply system maintenance, while the Retail Charge includes customer service, billing, and account management costs,' the website said.
This more detailed billing format is designed to enhance transparency and enable consumers to understand the structure of their electricity charges clearly.
'This information allows TNB customers to analyse every sen spent and make smarter daily energy management decisions,' the website added.
In July, customers will receive a transitional bill reflecting two sets of usage charges for different periods: up to June 30, 2025 (calculated under the old tariff) and from July 1, 2025 (based on the new tariff structure).
'The July 2025 transitional bill will be available within 24 hours via the myTNB app and portal, while printed bills will be delivered within seven working days from the meter reading date,' the website said.
To ensure transparency and clarity for customers, TNB will distribute a meter reader verification slip as proof that a reading has been conducted.
Beginning August 2025, customers will receive electricity bills that provide a detailed breakdown of charges according to the new structure.
Additionally, to help users adapt to the changes, TNB has provided an online Electricity Bill Calculator on its official myTNB website, allowing customers to estimate their bills based on usage and the new tariff rates.

Kitingan expressed frustration 40% revenue entitlement meeting did not take place
KOTA KINABALU: A Sabah leader expressed disappointment that the planned meeting to address the state's 40% revenue entitlement scheduled for Monday (June 30) never took place. Deputy Chief Minister I Datuk Seri Dr Jeffrey Kitingan revealed that the Sabah Cabinet had agreed for the state to host the crucial meeting and that he had written to the Chief Minister to initiate the process. "I wrote to the Chief Minister. It was based on his suggestion that Sabah host a meeting on June 30. The Prime Minister's Department (PMO) was informed, and the Chief Minister brought the letter to the Cabinet. Everyone agreed. We were supposed to send the letter to the PMO, but when we checked, it had not been sent," said Kitingan at the Sabah STAR ninth anniversary gathering launch on Tuesday (July 1). Kitingan noted that the letter was supposed to be sent by the Sabah State Secretary's office. In voicing frustration over the hiccups, he said it causes a setback to federal-state relations. "I do not know why it was not sent, even though everything had been agreed upon. I have asked for an explanation and am still waiting. This meeting was supposed to mark real progress on the 40% revenue issue," he said. In another development, Kitingan also expressed disappointment over recent developments concerning the Ambalat maritime boundary, criticising the lack of consultation with Sabah. "That area falls within Sabah's territory. If that is true, and Sabah was not consulted, it is not right. We need clarification, and I will request an official explanation. "If there has been a formal protest from Sabah, we will wait for a response. This may take time. I may raise the matter in the next parliamentary session," he said. Kitingan was referring to the agreement between Malaysia and Indonesia to adopt a joint development approach to manage long-standing maritime border disputes, including the resource-rich and contested Ambalat Block. This commitment was made during a bilateral meeting between Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto on June 27. The Ambalat dispute dates back to the 1970s and centres around overlapping maritime claims in the Sulawesi Sea. Meanwhile, former Chief Minister Datuk Seri Yong Teck Lee is urging the Federal and Sabah governments to present the recent Malaysia-Indonesia bilateral agreement, particularly regarding the Ambalat Block, to both Parliament and the Sabah State Assembly for debate and transparency before any deal is finalised. "Malaysia's claim over the Ambalat area has historical backing from the 2002 ICJ Ligitan-Sipadan ruling, and any move resembling the previous Blocks L and M controversy must be avoided," he said.

Terengganu FC tackles new era with privatisation, eyes corporate figure for CEO role
KUALA NERUS, July 1 — Terengganu FC (TFC) will be led by a corporate figure as chief executive officer (CEO) this season. Terengganu Football Association (PBSNT) chairman Hishamuddin Abdul Karim said the state FA has compiled a shortlist of several suitable candidates to lead the club, in line with the full privatisation plan for the club to move towards professional management. He said the final selection is underway and a closed interview would be conducted next week to select the most qualified and credible candidate to lead the club to greater heights. 'This time we will bring in a corporate figure to manage TFC. We need to fully embrace privatisation for the development of the club. 'We will announce the person as soon as possible, within this month after interviews and approval from the board of directors,' he said when met at the signing ceremony of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Terengganu Football Sdn Bhd (TFCSB) and the Terengganu Incorporated Group (Trg Inc) here today. At the ceremony, Trg Inc, represented by Chief Executive Officer Datuk Burhanuddin Hilmi Mohamed, handed over a sponsorship worth RM1.65 million to support TFC in the upcoming 2025/26 Malaysia League season. Burhanuddin said the sponsorship in the form of money and services represents a RM150,000 increase from the previous season. 'We believe that the strength of a football team does not solely depend on performance on the field, but also requires corporate backing, professional management and comprehensive community involvement. 'This collaboration is expected to increase brand engagement of government-related company Trg Inc across all TFC platforms,' he said. — Bernama

China, Sabah pledge closer ties in tourism, culture, development
Zhu (right) and Liew discuss the enhancement of bilateral relations, among other matters of common interest. KOTA KINABALU (July 1): The new Consul General of the People's Republic of China in Kota Kinabalu, Zhu Xinglong, paid a courtesy call on Minister of Tourism, Culture and Environment Datuk Seri Christina Liew on Monday. Consul General Zhu said under the strategic guidance of the leaders of China and Malaysia, bilateral relations have reached a historic high, and the prospects for cooperation between the two countries are broad. 'China is Sabah's largest source of international tourists,' he said. The Consul General expressed willingness to work closely with the minister to implement the important consensus reached by the two countries' leaders, and to strengthen exchanges and cooperation between China and Sabah in areas such as governance, civilisational dialogue, cultural industries, tourism and poverty alleviation, in a joint effort to build a high-level strategic China-Malaysia community with a shared future. Liew warmly welcomed Zhu's assumption of office in Sabah and noted that China's rapid development in recent years is remarkable. She expressed her readiness to maintain close communication and coordination with the Consul General, learn from China's governance experience, and expand people-to-people and cultural exchanges between Sabah and China. 'Let us work together to usher in the next 'Golden 50 Years' of China-Malaysia relations,' she added. Also present were Deputy Consul General Xue Xiaoning and other officials, and Sabah Tourism Board Deputy Chief Executive Officer Tay Shu Lan. The Chinese Consulate General also expressed its willingness to further strengthen cooperation with the Malaysia-China Chamber of Commerce (MCCC) Sabah, with the shared aim of assisting local businesses in expanding into the Chinese market, establishing government-to-business dialogue platforms, promoting intergovernmental exchanges, and enhancing interactions in education, youth development and cultural engagement to create new momentum for bilateral collaboration. On Monday night, Zhu, accompanied by Xue and Consuls Fan Yichang, Liang Yutai and Wen Desi, held an in-depth exchange session with representatives of MCCC Sabah. The two sides engaged in extensive discussions on deepening bilateral cooperation between Malaysia and China, enhancing subnational and local-level connectivity, and promoting economic, trade and cultural exchanges. The exchange dinner was jointly facilitated by MCCC Sabah's Public Relations Officer Edmund Goh and Assistant Public Relations Officer Yong Wei Hau, in collaboration with the Chinese Consulate General, reflecting a high degree of mutual understanding and a shared vision for regional cooperation. Zhu noted that the Chinese government attaches great importance to its comprehensive strategic partnership with Malaysia. In particular, President Xi Jinping's state visit to Malaysia in April 2025 marked the beginning of the 'Golden 50 Years' era in bilateral relations. During the visit, both countries signed multiple agreements covering trade, technology, agriculture, education, and culture, injecting new vitality into bilateral ties. He emphasized that Sabah occupies a key strategic position in the broader framework of Malaysia–China cooperation. In recent years, from palm oil exports to tourism services, Sabah's trade with China has seen steady growth, highlighting its vast potential. Datuk Dexter Lau, president of MCCC Sabah, shared that the chamber remains committed to its guiding principle of 'communication, cooperation, and mutual benefit,' and will continue to lead its member enterprises to actively participate in various levels of Malaysia–China collaboration. Over the coming months, the Chamber has planned a series of exchange visits to China — including trips to Chongqing, Yunnan University, Zhengzhou in Henan Province and Xinjiang — to attend economic forums, engage in business matchmaking, and explore cooperative opportunities, with the aim of expanding business prospects and integrating cross-border resources. He also expressed hope that the Chinese Consulate General in Kota Kinabalu would continue leveraging its networks and resources to support the Chamber, assist its members in expanding into the Chinese market, connect with potential partners, and gain access to strategic platforms — ultimately helping Sabah entrepreneurs, particularly the Chinese business community, to grow stronger and enhance their overall competitiveness and visibility. This exchange dinner not only highlighted the Consulate's strong commitment to supporting MCCC Sabah but also injected fresh impetus into strengthening strategic cooperation between China and Malaysia. Both sides agreed on the need to maintain close communication, promote practical cooperation mechanisms, and enable Sabah to play an even more active bridging role under the evolving framework of Malaysia–China relations — working together to achieve more high-quality collaborative outcomes. Also present at the event were MCCC Sabah representatives, including Life Honorary Adviser Datuk Lau Kok Sing, Honorary Adviser Dato' Soh Poh Soon, former president Datuk Michael Chin, Deputy President Kapitan Dr Callee Tan, Vice President Lau Jiin Woei, Vice President Loius Su, Treasurer Shawn Tan, Deputy Treasurer Tommy Lo, Women Entrepreneurs Committee (WEC) Committee Members Angelina Zhang and Liu Li Rong, as well as members Datuk Lim Su Chung, Dr Wong Tze Sheng, Dexter Yeh, Bernard Chu and Douglas Chong.
