Cost of electricity to go up from April as oil prices rise

kilua SG

Hong Kongs Charges 0.96HKD Per Kwh (0.167SGD) (link) and Hong Kong Power companies makes about 10% Returns on Equity

Singapore Power charges 23.88kwh and makes 20% Returns on Equity

If a family consumes 300KWH/ month, they would pay $188 more per year due to overcharging.

Growth dividend is only given once a year, but the additional $188 is paid every year.

Singaporeans would be better off with no growth dividends but more opposition to check on the Govt., or better still, take the money and still vote for opposition

oil still going up?

Oil price is dropping recently.

You have to see wherther you can vote. Your constituency is contested then you can vote or else they win by default.

rising electricity bills is almost an world phenomenon.

it only depends how much each govt is willing to subsidies it. how well we can change to alternative energy.

singapore should allow singapore cars to use CNG, LPG years ago and not just start recently for private cars.

with this govt you know what u will get!

when things go wrong, they blame the world.

when things go well , it their credit!

... do you people recall Sentosa when it was new & entry charges were so high? Well now it is so dirt cheap to go to Sentosa...

... I believe one day, Singapore will become like Sentosa when almost all locals have migrated and even foreigners hardly want to set foot here...

... by then, our ALL WISE so called government, will be advertising for people to populate this "So-Expensive-And-Nothing-To-See-Anyway" island...

Shouldn't you know better?

What's the point of me explaining to you?

When I know very well that you will not accept my explanation.

You being such an authority in correlations and statistics.

And you need me to explain S.D., variances and covariances to you?

If you have impromtu knowledge, go google it.

Is it?

Ever heard the adage, "great minds think alike".

haha...your ignorance exposed

oxford mushroom SG

Please dont avoid my question. I am asking you how much do you know about negative covariance in the context of our discussion, just to make sure you know what exactly you are talking about.

It will be a cold day in hell if maurizio knows what he is talking about

haha...your ignorance exposed

i suppose you know about S.D., covariances and variances?

maybe you should explain your reason instead of passing snide remarks.

but seriously, i doubt you have the aptitude even with the google search.

for someone who claims that as interest rates rise, bonds prices increase in tandem,

you don't have much to be desired in the intellectual category.

You seriously demean yourself when you side with someone (TCH05) who had the wrong idea about covariance to pass similar kind of remarks about others on the same subject.
