How much subsidies does the Malaysian government provide? Do you
have any data on it? If you compare the price of electricity in
Australia, it is only slightly more than the Malaysian price.
Malaysian oil might be subsidize, unless you have some significant
data, you can't quantify the degree of subsidy.
The cost of Electricity in Australia, New South Wales is 10.84 Aus
Cents/Kwh.
Singapore Power's charge of 21.64 cent/Kwh
Current Exchange Rate AUD 1.00 = SGD 1.21
When electricity cost in Australia is converted to Singapore
dollars it's
13.12 cents/Kwh. When the charge of Singapore
Power's 21.64 cent/Kwh, is pitted against
Australia's IPART 13.12 cents/Kwh, it fails miserably in
comparison.
In the USA, an average household uses 938 Kwh per month, the
average household bill per month is US$88.60. This means the
average charge is,
US$0.09 /Kwh. (no official cost per Kwh data available)

Exchange rate USD 1.00 = SGD 1.56
Which makes it about 14.7 cents /Kwh in Singapore currency, it's
still about 30% cheaper than Singapore Power.
