KUALA LUMPUR: The Communications and Multimedia Ministry has no power to order Pay-TV operator Astro Malaysia Holdings Bhd to forgo its 50sen commission charge imposed for bill payments at post offices, says Tan Sri Annuar Musa.

"As said, the commission is a commercial arrangement where there are no regulations to force them to do so."However, it is a good proposal and I will forward the matter to Pos Malaysia," he said when replying to a question raised by Kasthuriraani Patto in Dewan Rakyat on Thursday .

Kasthuriraani asked if the ministry would intervene to abolish the 50sen commission imposed by Pos Malaysia."Even my mother has to pay her Astro bill at the post office," she said. Among them, he cited, were using the auto-debit services at Astro online portal, payments at Astro payment service counters and JomPay.Earlier, Annuar informed the House that Pos Malaysia became a subsidiary of DRB-Hicom in 1992 and was listed on Bursa Malaysia in 2001.
