State gov't also subsidising cost of new electricity connections for low-income urban households there.

Every household in Sarawak will enjoy free water for the first RM5 of the monthly domestic water bill, which is equivalent to about 11,300 litres of free water, says the state’s Ministry of Utilities.

“This free water programme will help reduce the financial burden of the people, especially those in the low-income group who need the assistance most. The statement also stated that besides subsidising the cost of water supply, the Sarawak government will also be subsidising the cost of new electricity connections for low-income urban households.

“For new connections costing above RM5,000 up to RM10,000, the Sarawak government will subsidise 70 percent of the connection cost, while the remaining 30 percent will be borne by the applicant,” it added.
