  "account": "PETALING JAYA: Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB) is set to shoulder the majority of the RM248 million expense for the Malaysian government's four-month electricity bill relief scheme targeting households, according to energy transition and water transformation minister Fadillah Yusof. The scheme, initiated in September, is designed to exempt households with monthly electricity consumption of up to 800 kilowatt-hours (kWh) – roughly an estimated bill of RM328 or less – from additional fuel adjustment charges, retail charges, and sales and service tax (SST) for the next four months.",
  "summary": "Energy transition and water transformation minister says TNB will absorb most of the fuel adjustment and retail charges, while the government covers the SST exemption.",
