Because of the global downturn, feul and oil prices had fallen about forty percent and Singapore household will pay twenty- five percent less for their electricity bill from january to march next year. This is the first fall of electricity tariff since April 2oo7. In july this year, a barrel of fuel oil is US$115 and it fell to US$63 for a barrel of feul oil. Household and small buisnesses will pay 24.54 cents per kilowatt hour.
OPINIONS
I think Singaporeons will be happy with the drop in electricity bill as the world is experiencing a crisis and more singaporeons are retrenched. With their kins jobless, paying for their electricity bills will be a burden for them if the electricity bills remain so high. But the world crisis may not be that bad- Because of the world crisis or global downturn, the oil and feul prices have gone down, so we, singaoporeons, is able to pay 25% less for the electricity bills, which is a relief for many Singaporeons.
As a Singapore citizen, I can do my part by conserving electricity- simply switch of electrical appliances when not in use etc. I think there are few ways for Singaporeons to conserve energy. As an example, we can buy energy-saving appliances.
This incident will also affect my family as we are also paying a high electricity bill. With the drop in electricity bill, my family will have a lesser burdun.
