Facebook user Chai See Yin took to the Facebook page Complaint Singapore to voice her frustration as she received an electricity bill of $1,016.39.
It was believed that she was staying in a 2 room flat with only a 3 person occupancy rate. The month before she was only charged $43.08.
Here is what was stated in the Facebook post.
“Should I pay?
My electricity bill for last month jump from $43 to $1016 for 3 person staying in a 2 rooms house!
The explanation from Sembcorp is due to CB period they can’t take our meter reading and now the charges is the accumulated from the past 5 months.
I fully understand the situation but I don’t agree that the amount become so huge as my average usage is around $50 plus one month for the whole year.
Anyone encounter the same issue?
What should I do next?
This post is to share and find solutions to my case so please don’t start a argument or scolding the government.
Thanks for reading.”
