We thank Mr Darren Chan for his letter “Deterrent sentences, better meters needed to stop gas fraud” (June 27). We agree with him that theft of utilities and tampering with gas meters must not be tolerated.

Such theft results in other consumers having to pay more. Meter tampering may also disrupt gas supply and pose safety risks.
The Energy Market Authority (EMA) will work with SP PowerGrid and City Gas to review the locks used to deter tampering at gas meter installations.
City Gas and SP PowerGrid will continue to educate commercial and industrial establishments on gas safety, and conduct inspections to deter theft of utilities and tampering with meters.
Members of the public who know of persons or establishments tampering with their meter installations or consuming gas dishonestly should report the matter to the EMA at 6835-8000 or ema_enquiry [at] ema.gov.sg.
All information provided will be kept confidential.
We will take firm action against anyone who tampers with their meters and tries to consume gas dishonestly.
