Moving House in Malaysia 2026: The Address and Utilities Checklist, From the RM10 MyKad to the RM300 Fibre Move
Moving house in Malaysia means changing your address in at least eight places, and none of them talk to each other. Your MyKad costs RM10 to update, your voting address needs a separate application, TNB wants a deposit of RM170 to RM1,600, and Indah Water will keep billing the old name until someone tells it. Here is the checklist, with each fee and form from the official pages.
Malaysia's New Energy Efficiency Plan: NEEAP 2.0 Will Not Cut Your Tariff, It Will Delete the Cheap Air-Conditioner
PETRA has published the National Energy Efficiency Policy and Action Plan 2026-2035, and the household half of it works in a way almost nobody has explained. NEEAP 2.0 does not lower the tariff and does not send anyone a rebate cheque. It hits its domestic target by raising the Minimum Energy Performance Standards on twelve categories of appliance, and it raises them by promotion: today's 3-star efficiency level becomes tomorrow's 2-star minimum, and in a second revision today's 4-star level becomes the 2-star minimum. The cheapest models on the shop floor simply stop being legal to sell. On air-conditioners, the document's own arithmetic puts the first revision at 336 kWh a year saved per unit and the second at 447 kWh. The plan targets an 11.6 per cent cut in national energy demand and RM85.241 billion in savings by 2035, but the domestic sector carries the smallest share of it at 8.7 per cent.
TNB AFA October 2026: 3.61 sen/kWh, Your September 800 kWh Credit Lands This Month — and the Outlook Turns Up to 7.59 sen
October 2026's AFA is a surcharge of 3.61 sen/kWh (RM391 million) — a touch below September's 3.67 sen but above the 3.36 sen TNB had projected. The outlook has turned: November 2026 to January 2027 is now +4.27 to +7.59 sen. Households using up to 800 kWh still pay no AFA, RM10 retail charge or SST until 31 December, and TNB says September's share of that relief is credited on the October bill. Here is how to read the two new bill lines, what each usage level pays, and what January could cost.
