He said RM180 million had been allocated to exempt households from additional fuel adjustment charges, with the government and TNB sharing the cost for September.

TNB will bear the full cost of these charges from October to December, Fadillah, who is also a deputy prime minister, said in a written parliamentary reply to Lim Guan Eng (PH-Bagan).
