better than the syabas people in my area, since they went paperless, our current bill in RM0, since they used previous month's reading. And the bacaan is set to bacaan sebenar. damn f***er those ppl.

If I'm not mistaken, they will just estimate your bill by looking at previous month and you pay using this figure.
Next month, when they take the actual reading, they will adjust accordingly and you pay (the remaining) or don't do anything (kept as prepayment).
Usually my household pay the electric bill 5 months in advance so no need worry when to pay.

Not the only one.
TNB does it sometimes too.

Give low reading, suddenly spike the reading, then Govt subsidy becomes void.
After paid, they correct the reading and will not refund the paymnet.
Meaning they collect from Govt and users.

A year or two  later, the credit paid, disappears.

I guess being a Muslim country does not make the people honest.

Tak sure the kaitan muslim country vs the efficacy of ppl working. But regardless, the govt subsidy is for the first 200kwh (or is it 100kwh). More than that, you pay. And min pay, even if you no use at all, is RM3/bill

its impossible to be in a house with fridge to use less than RM20 a month. I know that because I have 2 house next to each other and I pull a line and have the fridge to connect to the next house and the bill just for the fridge is around RM17-RM18 a month.

Now because of this I don't have to pay the bill for 2 house since under RM20 each house. The main house without AC also use around RM16 a month.
