BN government cost cutting measure is too late, this simple step should be done ten years ago with billions would be saved.
25 degree Celsius should be used instead of 24C to optimize comfortability, office work performance and cost factors.
I further reduce my electricity bill by using table fan instead of air-cond after relocated my office away from direct sun light, thus my electricity bill was reduced from RM120 to RM80, and to RM50.
“At 77 degrees Fahrenheit, the workers were keyboarding 100 percent of the time with a 10 percent error rate, but at 68 degrees, their keying rate went down to 54 percent of the time with a 25 percent error rate,” Hedge says. “Temperature is certainly a key variable that can impact performance.”

No lower than 24 degrees Celsius at govt offices
PUTRAJAYA: Putrajaya has ordered all government offices to set their air-condition temperature no lower than 24 degrees Celcius.
Energy, Green Technology and Water Minister Datuk Seri Peter Chin Fah Kui said a new Act would be tabled in Parliament to enable the private sector to follow suit.
He said for now the prime minister has agreed that all government buildings set their temperatures at no lower than 24 degrees unless under certain circumstances such as the hospitals.
The measure will be implemented as soon as the Chief Secretary issues a circular to the government offices, Chin told a press conference after a Green Technology and Climate Change Council meeting chaired by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.
He said that in every office, at least 40% of energy consumed goes to air-conditioning.
For every degree dropped in air-conditioning temperature, he said, the government can slash its energy bill by between four and seven per cent.
“And 24 degrees is a comfortable temperature – it’s neither too cold nor too hot. In some countries, like in China, they are required to set their temperatures at 26 degrees, that is too hot,” he said.
I have plugged out my TV set entirely since several months ago after I started to follow Mandarin news in tonton.com.my. It’s estimated I can save RM5-10 per month from TV electricity bill. Besides, saving time on commercial advertisement is another reason I kicked out Malaysia TV dull programs.
No more TV set in my KL home. I believe more people will do so since Malaysia TV stations are suck and act as mouthpieces for BN government.
Loss of profit by Petronas due to selling cheap instruction from the government is not another form of subsidy, then what is it?
Cheap fuel price means IPP can generate power at lower cost and still selling electricity at a fixed price to Tenaga afterall fuel price is neutral in the PPA.
Of course, the IPPs did not receive any benefits if the price of gas was raised. Fuel prise rise will reduce IPP profit margin.
Peter Chin, you wanna look smart, but you just expose yourself are no smarter than a donkey.
Anwar pointed out Thailand power generators receive no subsidies or cheap fuel price as IPP and Tenaga, and still electricity bill in Thailand is cheaper than Bolehland.
What not we just invite Thai companies to produce electricity for us, thus rakyat can enjoy cheaper electricity bills and Petronas also can earn extra RM19 billion which can be passed down to Malaysia coffers?
Peter Chin, please answer this simple question?
No subsidies for IPPs: Peter Chin
Business News 2011-05-24 17:45
PUTRAJAYA, May 24 (Bernama) — It is absolutely not true that independent power producers (IPPs) enjoy gas subsidies amounting to RM19 billion annually from the government, Energy, Green Technology and Water Minister Datuk Peter Chin Fah Kui said today.
He said the RM19 billion was the profit that Petroleum Nasional Bhd had to forgo for having to sell gas below the market price to the IPPs and Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB).
The RM10.70 per MMBtu price tag was fixed by the government to keep electricity tariff low. Continue reading >> You minister is a donkey, but rakyat are not.
Instead of sending the bird dead body to Perhilitan for further investigation, they cook and eat it.
Malaysia to Charge Soldiers over Hornbill Killing
 Five Malaysian soldiers on antipoaching duty face criminal charges after Facebook pictures appeared of them posing with a dead, endangered Great Pied Hornbill bird. Defense Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said the group was part of a force protecting the Royal Belum-Temengor rainforest in the northern state of Perak, when they came across the bird which had been shot by a hunter.
“The bird fell to the ground and upon seeing the dying bird, they slaughtered it,” he told state media late Sunday.
He said the five, including an officer, had been suspended and would be charged under the country’s wildlife laws.
He did not elaborate but an officer with the Department of Wildlife and National Parks told AFP Monday: “An investigation is still ongoing.”
Ahmad Zahid said that although the soldiers were not responsible for shooting the bird, they should have tried to save it rather than killing and posing with it.
The pictures were uploaded onto one of the soldiers’ Facebook profile pages and were distributing widely, causing public outrage and the defence ministry to investigate, according to Perak state government news portal Perak News.
It said the soldiers involved were assigned to anti-poaching and anti-smuggling duties in the protected forest, which lies in the border area between Thailand and Malaysia and is home to more than 14 endangered species.
“Isn’t it suspicious that a hunter killed the bird when the area is supposed to be protected?” Perak wildlife activist Nabilla Ravina told AFP.
“Here we are thinking that Malaysian wildlife which are on the brink of extinction are very safe and happy in Belum under military protection, but incidents like this make one wonder who the real poachers are,” she said.
The Great Pied Hornbill is found in the rainforests of India, Malaysia and Indonesia. The bird’s impressive size and plumage have made it an important part of tribal culture and rituals.
Hornbill numbers have declined perilously owing to habitat loss and poaching. Their trade or sale is illegal under the UN’s Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora.
Relevant offences under Malaysia’s Wildlife Conservation Act carry a maximum fine of 50,000 ringgit ($16,500) and/or imprisonment of up to two years.

The daily maintenance must be handled by Japanese or Korean experts and technicians.
I have no confidence on the maintenance culture of local people, I have seen it in my workplace and in the public sector. Malaysians are notorious for last minute rush and poor planning mindset. Malaysians are still having a third-world maintenance culture which may take another 100 year to change.

PUTRAJAYA: The government is confident that Malaysians will eventually buy into nuclear energy, said Energy, Green Technology and Water Minister Datuk Seri Peter Chin Fah Kui today.
Chin said through proper process of disseminating information and by practising transparency, the rakyat will understand why the country may have to rely on nuclear technology in the future for its energy needs.
“If we (the government) are transparent, and if information on the benefits of nuclear energy is disseminated well, I believe the rakyat will understand the need for nuclear energy,” said Chin at a Press conference this morning. Continue reading >> I support nuclear plants, but with a condition…
