Yes that's the email

I put in a request two months ago and TNB just called to say they can't reduce the deposit, it's fixed for residential title. They only might consider reducing it for commercial titles (e.g. serviced apartments).

Have to put away hundreds of ringgit with TNB until I die.

1) The TNB staff mentioned that many of my neighbors haven't changed to their name or paid the deposit yet. Would there be any consequences if I also don't change name or pay the deposit?

2) Do developers nowadays not apply for utility name change on behalf of their buyers anymore?

They're talking nonsense, it's right there on their website and I did it successfully.

Guess I'm just unlucky. My monthly bill is <RM50 too.

My monthly bill is ~RM25.

What's your deposit? By law they can only retain between 3 to 6 months deposit.

Sorry but may I ask how on earth do you manage such a minimal amount of usage!?

Do you have that erm, ahem, ‘magic meter’ installed?

Just checked mine is 2230. Don’t even remember paying

No, the secret is less than 10 hours of air-conditioning a month. And bath cold water whenever possible (plus it's healthier).

Ah, OK… it’s scarcely believable that such a low amount can be achieved, but I’m happy that you can do it!

it's possible with minimal air cond and water heater usage.

U single?

Whole day not at home?

Just curious ts , if your bank statement got thousand ringgit will they reject ?

My bill says my security deposit is RM1,462.08 for condo
Didn’t realize the odd amount until now.
Thanks TS

My bad good sir. Thanks for correcting

I’m actually more interested in how the hell do you guys use so little electricity per month…. Yes yes, I know, no air con and cold showers but still, RM50 per month!?

My electricity bill averages SGD700 per month (landed property, zero subsidies, and there are some 6 toilets in the house, and we get charged a stupid toilet fee per toilet, amongst other ridiculous fees)…

not using airconds is main saver
not using water dispenser with hot/ice water tank another saver.
not using water heater is good choice
Having inverter A/C may be a myth

I really respect you guys man… last couple of months was a furnace and a half, everyday was like 38C, and you still did it without air conditioning
