Since PLN is a govt-owned company and generates the majority of the country's electrical power, because of economic of scale, the electricity bill to the landed house owner will be cheap and affordable.

On the other hand, condo/apartment management buy electricity from PLN and charge higher electricity bill to individual apartment resident since the management need to handle the power distribution and to install individual electrical meter at the electrical riser for the apartments.

Whereas in Malaysia, regardless of whether it is for high rise apartment or landed house or commercial properties, the payment of electrical bill is to the same malaysia electricity company TNB (Tenaga National Berhad). However, commercial property electricity bill is more costly than residential electricity bill.
