Tian Chua memuji usaha rakyat Malaysia dalam memperjuangkan hak Palestin, tetapi beliau menekankan pentingnya untuk mendesak kerajaan supaya bertanggungjawab.

Beliau menyeru supaya tekanan diberikan kepada kerajaan agar mereka mengambil tindakan yang tegas.

KUALA LUMPUR: Bekas Ahli Parlimen Batu, Chua Tian Chang, yang dikenali sebagai Tian Chua, meminta agar ada perubahan besar dalam cara menangani masalah di Gaza.

Dia menekankan perlunya tindakan ekonomi yang lebih ketat dan sekatan terhadap rejim Zionis.

Beliau mengatakan bahawa keadaan di Gaza boleh dianggap sebagai contoh sebenar genosid.

“Kita sudah tiba di saat di mana kita perlu melakukan lebih banyak. ” Apa yang terjadi di Gaza adalah contoh nyata genosid.

“Niat yang jelas untuk memusnahkan keseluruhan kumpulan manusia membuatkan istilah genosid terasa tidak cukup serius,” katanya pada “Persidangan mengenai Palestin: Meneliti Perspektif Asia” yang diadakan di sini pada hari Isnin.

Tian Chua memuji usaha rakyat Malaysia yang berjuang untuk hak Palestin, tetapi dia menegaskan pentingnya mendesak kerajaan untuk bertindak. Dia menyeru agar semua pihak memberikan tekanan yang maksimum kepada kerajaan untuk mengambil tindakan tegas.

Beliau menekankan bahawa kita perlu melakukan lebih banyak daripada hanya memberi bantuan kemanusiaan. Beliau mencadangkan bahawa negara-negara Asia, termasuk Malaysia dan ASEAN, harus memanfaatkan potensi ekonomi mereka untuk memberikan tekanan kepada Israel.

Beliau juga menyatakan bahawa negara-negara yang bekerjasama dengan jenayah Israel perlu diambil tindakan dan dikenakan sekatan.

Tian Chua juga mengkritik cara komuniti antarabangsa yang memilih-milih dalam memberi sekatan, serta kepura-puraan dalam sistem perdagangan global. Beliau menyatakan bahawa Amerika Syarikat mengenakan sekatan ke atas banyak negara di dunia, termasuk China, Korea Utara, dan Iran.

“Mengapa kita harus ikut apa yang mereka buat atau merasa tertekan oleh mereka. Kerajaan perlu mengambil langkah untuk meningkatkan usaha kita agar dapat membantu ekonomi dalam perjuangan untuk membebaskan Palestin,” katanya.

Satu lagi panelis dalam persidangan itu, Pensyarah Kanan Universiti Pertahanan Nasional Malaysia (UPNM), Nor Aishah Hanifa, ketika bercakap tentang peranan Pertubuhan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu (PBB), menjelaskan bahawa PBB bukanlah satu entiti yang mempunyai kuasa penuh ke atas semua negara anggotanya.

PBB ditubuhkan untuk menggalakkan persahabatan antara negara selepas Perang Dunia Kedua dan untuk mendorong keamanan di antara negara-negara. “Ia tidak boleh memaksa negara-negara anggotanya,” katanya.

Beliau berpendapat bahawa masalah asas ini adalah sebab mengapa PBB tidak dapat mengambil tindakan untuk menghentikan tindakan Israel di Timur Tengah.

Acara sehari ini, yang diadakan oleh Pusat Timur Tengah Asia (AMEC) bersama Pusat Kajian Palestin Hashim Sani dan Universiti Malaya, bertujuan untuk menunjukkan sumbangan negara-negara Asia dalam perjuangan Palestin.

Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) is leading the way in Malaysia’s move to green energy by using solar parks to make the future more sustainable. Photovoltaic (PV) screens on these large-scale solar systems turn sunlight into energy. This helps cut down on our use of fossil fuels and carbon emissions. Malaysia wants to get 31% of its energy from green sources by 2025, and solar parks are a big part of that plan. But building these facilities needs to be done with great care for the local environments, so that the growth of clean energy doesn’t hurt wildlife.

The government’s dedication to energy freedom and environmental protection is shown by TNB’s solar parks. TNB is not only making clean energy through projects in Sepang and Bukit Selambau, but they are also trying to protect the ecosystems in those areas. This method helps keep Malaysia’s power grid stable by lowering the country’s reliance on importing coal and natural gas. It also helps the country meet its climate responsibilities under international agreements.

Taking care of bird species at Sepang’s LSS Solar Park
The LSS Sepang Solar Park in Selangor is a good example of how TNB manages energy and the environment together. As part of the “Hari Hargai Alam” event on July 3, 2023, TNB Renewables and Sarang, a local environmental group, started a project to identify birds. This project identified 28 types of birds in the solar park. These birds included residents like the White-Throated Kingfisher and visitors like the Pheasant-Tailed Jacana. The fact that the Crested Serpent Eagle and other top bird predators live in the solar park says that the environment there is doing well.

The goal of the project, which is called “Documentation of Avian Species at LSS Sepang” and is being paid for by TNB Sepang Solar Sdn. Bhd., is to find a balance between protecting wildlife and making green energy. It wants to make a model that can be used indefinitely where solar parks work with natural areas to protect both native and migrating bird species.

Dealing with Problems Between People and Animals at Bukit Selambau
TNB’s Bukit Selambau Solar Park in Kedah has problems because it is close to places where long-tailed macaques live. As these monkeys move into more and more human areas, TNB has made a Conflict Management Plan to keep people from getting hurt. This plan includes biological studies on how macaques behave and nutritional research using DNA metabarcoding, which will help TNB figure out where the animals eat and where they go.
With these new insights, TNB can change the park’s surroundings to make it less appealing to macaques while still making sure the solar park runs smoothly. These steps show that TNB is dedicated to running green energy projects in a way that doesn’t harm local wildlife.

Using natural grazing to control weeds
The Bukit Selambau Solar Park also helps sustainable farming by giving a goat herder close a place to graze his animals. Every day, about 30 Boer goats are brought into the park to keep the plants under control, which is something that is being done more and more at solar farms around the world. This eco-friendly method cuts down on the need for chemical pesticides and automatic cutting, which is good for the environment and local farms.

Effects on the environment and how they relate to national goals
Malaysia has promised to cut its greenhouse gas pollution by 45% from 2005 levels by 2030. TNB’s solar parks are a big part of this plan. About 0.585 tons of CO2 are saved for every megawatt-hour of power produced by solar panels. This is a big step toward making the energy sector less carbon-based. Over the course of their lives, these solar parks should stop millions of tons of CO2 from being released into the air, immediately helping Malaysia’s climate promises.

Getting in line with national and international environmental goals
The work at LSS Sepang and Bukit Selambau is in line with Malaysia’s National Policy on Biological variety (2016–2025), which aims to protect the country’s biological variety. TNB’s projects help the Greening Malaysia Program, which is a government effort to restore important ecosystems. These projects help reach the clean Development Goals (SDGs) set by the United Nations. Specifically, they help reach SDG 7 for clean energy and SDG 15 for protecting ecosystems.

Malaysia’s energy scene is being changed by TNB’s solar parks, which combine producing clean energy with caring for the environment. TNB shows that the path to a future with green energy can and should be in line with caring for the environment through careful planning and new ideas.

Find the story here:

Dive into TNB’s future-focused academy, where employees confront real-world energy challenges to redefine Malaysia’s energy landscape for a sustainable future. 

On a weekday morning, thirty Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) employees gathered in a classroom—not just to listen, but to solve a challenge that goes beyond their job descriptions.

Their task? Tackle various problem statements—including that of electric vehicles as well as sustainable business practices—in order to enhance their capabilities and prepare for future energy challenges. 

This is the heart of the TNB Energy Transition Academy (TETA)—an ambitious initiative aimed at preparing employees to lead through the complexities of the energy transition.

The goal? Turn them into strategists who can connect policy, business, and technology—skills critical to navigating this evolving landscape.  

And they only have three months to pull it off.  

What Does a TNB Smart City Look Like?

Participants face real-world challenges like building a smart city and developing a sustainable EV business model.

These aren’t just hypothetical exercises; they reflect problems TNB is actively trying to solve.  

The academy isn’t about handing out solutions. 

At the end of the program, participants will be equipped with the skills and capabilities to pitch their ideas to TNB’s top leaders, and their proposals could shape future projects. 

The stakes are high—because these aren’t consultants coming in with polished presentations.

They’re employees who understand the company from within and are learning how to think strategically.  

The academy’s message is clear: The future will be built by those already on the ground—if they’re prepared for it.

Beyond Textbooks

The TETA program is part of a broader shift in how companies prepare for the future.

Instead of relying on traditional methods like webinars and manuals, the academy focuses on immersive, hands-on learning.  

Participants collaborate with industry experts, including Dr. Mazlan Abbas, a specialist in smart cities, and Matthew Gleeson, the Vice President (Energy Transition & Water Conservation) at Oracle Energy and Water.

They learn about EV infrastructure, leadership, and circular economy strategies—not in isolation but as pieces of a larger puzzle.  

This type of learning acknowledges that real expertise doesn’t come overnight.

It’s developed through solving messy, real-world problems and working through uncertainty—much like the challenges TNB will face in its energy transition journey.  

Bridging the Gap Between Ideas and Execution

TETA reflects a growing realization that closing the gap between knowledge and action is essential.

Malaysia’s National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR) depends on people who can wear many hats: policy analysts, engineers, project managers, and business strategists.  

The academy’s focus on real problems ensures participants develop practical, actionable skills. 

This isn’t just about mastering technical knowledge; it’s about building the confidence to say, “Here’s the issue, and here’s how we solve it.”

The People Who Will Shape the Future

When the first TETA cohort graduates, they’ll be judged not only on their knowledge but on their ability to connect ambition with execution.

Can they bridge the gap between bold ideas and practical solutions? Can they lead?  

The energy transition won’t be driven by technology alone—it will be driven by people. 

And TNB is betting that the people who know the company best are the ones who will shape its future.

Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB), Malaysia’s largest energy company, is promoting environmental goals by releasing the Biodiversity Framework. In addition, TNB is making a platform for wildlife. This framework shows an example of a strategy plan that tries to incorporate protecting the environment into the ways that the company generates energy.

Through a number of environmentally friendly actions, TNB plans to lessen its impact on Malaysia’s wildlife. This is because we know how important it is to find a balance between building more infrastructure and protecting living systems.

The order of protection is part of the scheme. There are four main ideas that this order is based on: avoidance, minimization, restoration, and offsetments. These steps are meant to lessen the damage that the company does to the environment through its many energy projects, such as its solar farms, water facilities, and transportation infrastructure. That’s why TNB uses this hierarchy: they want to make sure that any bad effects on the environment are either avoided, lessened, or paid for in the right way.

For example, TNB’s solar farms are usually built in places where there is less chance of damaging ecosystems. The company’s hydropower facilities, on the other hand, are kept with an eye toward protecting marine life and natural water flow patterns. These projects are necessary to meet Malaysia’s ever-growing energy needs, but they also have the duty to protect the country’s rich wildlife.

One of the most interesting things about the TNB structure is that it puts a lot of emphasis on long-term survival. The company doesn’t see protecting biodiversity as a short-term goal. Instead, it wants to make a positive change that will last through things like reforestation, building animal habitats, and using environmentally friendly land management techniques. Additionally, TNB is working with neighborhood groups, environmental groups, and government agencies to make these projects more effective.

All of these steps are being taken to make sure that everyone is responsible for protecting wildlife.

TNB’s Biodiversity Framework is tied to both national and global biodiversity policies. This is in line with what the Malaysian government promised to do in line with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The statement shows that the company wants to help protect natural environments and grow the income and infrastructure of the country.

Through this action, TNB wants to become known as a leader not only in the energy business but also as a fighter of caring for the environment.

The new ecological project that TNB has started has made people more aware of the need to be careful with the earth. There is a big trend going on in the energy business in this direction. It could mean that we are going toward a more safe and eco-friendly future if more businesses adopt models like these. In this future, the protection of wildlife and the growth of energy go hand in hand.

The urgency of managing carbon emissions cannot be overstated. The Paris Agreement, adopted by 196 countries in 2015, aims to limit global warming to well below 2°C, with efforts to cap it at 1.5°C. This international treaty underscores the critical need for immediate and sustained action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Malaysia has committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, aligning with the goals of the Paris Agreement. As part of its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), Malaysia aims to reduce its economy-wide carbon intensity by 45% by 2030 compared to 2005 level. This ambitious target is part of the country’s broader strategy to combat climate change and promote sustainable development. The National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR) is a pivotal component of this strategy. Launched in 2023, the NETR outlines a comprehensive plan to transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources, aiming for 70% renewable energy by 2050. This roadmap not only addresses climate change but also enhances energy security and economic resilience.

Our Commitment Towards Carbon Emission Intensity reduction

In support of Malaysia’s net-zero ambitions, we are committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. This commitment is part of our broader sustainability pathway, which was announced in 2021. We aim to reduce our annual carbon emission intensity by 5% each year from 2024 and steadfast in our commitment to achieve a 35% emission intensity reduction by 2035 and net zero by 2050.

To achieve these targets, our efforts focus on reducing carbon emission intensity (tCO₂e/MWh) through our Carbon Management Strategy and Renewable Energy (RE) Capacity Expansion. Together, these initiatives enable us to reduce emission intensity from our operations and set the stage for long-term sustainability by integrating renewable energy and innovative carbon management technologies.

Figure 1: TNB Strategy to Reduce Carbon Emission Intensity

Our Carbon Management Strategy focuses on reducing, capturing, and offsetting carbon emissions (tCO₂e) from TNB’s operations. We will continue to expand our renewable energy (RE) capacity both domestically and internationally. Domestically, this will be achieved through the development or acquisition of RE assets by TNB Power Generation Sdn. Bhd. (Genco) and TNB Renewable Sdn. Bhd. (TRe). Internationally, Vantage RE and Sparks Renewable will spearhead these efforts.

From Vision to Reality: Translating Strategy into Concrete Actions
Anchoring to the Carbon Management Strategy and Renewable Energy (RE) Capacity Expansion, we are actively reducing emission intensity and expected to make significant progress to achieve Net Zero by 2050 through concrete actions. The following are the details summarizing the expected reduction in carbon emission intensity (in percentage) by 2050, compared to 2024:

Figure 2: Expected reduction in carbon emission intensity (in percentage) by 2050

Carbon Management Strategy: Reduce, Capture, Off-Set
1. Reduce Carbon Emissions
In our relentless pursuit of a sustainable future, we are committed to achieving 18.25% reduction in emission intensity by 2050. This ambitious goal will be realized through a series of targeted measures, including:
• Enhancing Power Plant Efficiency: Implementing coal blending, periodic boiler cleaning, and compressor washing.
• Leveraging Advanced Technology: Monitoring plant efficiency through Digital Twin technology.
• Transitioning Energy Sources: Early retirement of coal power plants and switching from coal to gas as a transition fuel.
• Innovative Co-Firing Solutions: Co-firing of coal power plants with biomass and gas power plants with hydrogen.
Each of these initiatives represents a crucial step towards reducing our carbon footprint and fostering a cleaner, greener planet.

2. Capture Carbon Emission
We are set to achieve a 29.63% reduction in emission intensity by 2050 through the implementation of advanced carbon capture and utilization (CCU) technologies. Our carbon capture and utilization strategy include:

• Carbon Capture: Development of bio-carbon capture (e.g., microalgae) or chemical carbon capture system to absorb and capture CO₂ efficiently.
• Carbon Utilization: Development of CO₂ utilization system through biological and hydrogenation pathways.
We embark on “Project Dragon” as a step to realize the potential of carbon capture technologies in our effort to reduce carbon emission intensity. Initiated in June 2024, the project aims to assess the technical and economic viability of integrating carbon capture and utilization (CCU) technology at our 2000MW Jimah East Power (JEP) coal power plant. The goal is to successfully implement and operate a pilot carbon capture and utilization system at the site, capable of capturing up to 5,000 kg of CO₂ annually for utilization through either biological or hydrogenation pathways.

Figure 3: Conceptual Solution for Carbon Capture and Utilization

This comprehensive approach ensures that captured carbon is effectively managed and repurposed. By integrating these innovative CCU technologies, we are not only reducing our carbon footprint but also paving the way for a cleaner, more sustainable industrial landscape.

Off-Set Carbon Emission
In our pursuit of net-zero emissions, we invest in nature-based carbon offset initiatives like reforestation to tackle hard-to-abate emissions. These efforts help absorb and store carbon dioxide, contributing to a more sustainable future. We target to plant 40,000 trees annually, covering around 89 acres and sequestering about 1,600 tCO₂e. In 2023, we launched the My Brighter Green Programme to commemorate TNB’s 74th Anniversary and planted a total of 78,100 trees at 42 designated areas across the country, approximately equivalent to 174 acres and approximately 3,100 tCO₂e sequestered.

Figure 4: Outcome of the My Brighter Green Programme

We will continue to explore and invest in both nature-based and technology-based carbon offset initiatives for the remaining hard-to-abate emissions (5.65% of emission intensity by 2050). Our commitment towards these efforts are crucial in addressing our carbon footprint and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

Increasing Renewable Energy Capacity
In our ambitious drive towards sustainability, we are significantly increasing our renewable energy capacity both domestically and internationally. We aim to secure up to 5GW of RE capacity in Malaysia under various programs including Large Scale Solar 5 (LSS5), Corporate Renewable Energy Supply Scheme (CRESS) and Corporate Green Power Programme (CGPP). This bold initiative is projected to achieve a remarkable 46.47% reduction in emission intensity by 2050.

Figure 5: Key Renewable Energy Projects by 2026

These projects represent our unwavering commitment to expanding renewable energy sources and reducing our carbon footprint. By harnessing the power of the sun and innovative hybrid technologies, we are paving the way for a cleaner, greener future.

For each of the above strategy, granular year-by-year initiatives have been identified to reduce carbon emission intensity to achieve set targets, as depicted in the following graph.

Figure 6: Emission intensity reduction initiatives

Visualising Our Progress Towards Net Zero Emission by 2050
Following an extensive target review process, the TNB Sustainability and Energy Transition Committee (SETC), chaired by President / Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of TNB had approved the Carbon Emission Strategy and RE Capacity Expansion. With both strategies in place, we are on a promising path to meet our long-term sustainability goals. Our immediate target is to reduce carbon emission intensity by 5% annually and we can achieve beyond our 35% carbon emission intensity reduction target by 2035 and net zero by 2050.
Our emission intensity projection illustrates our confidences in achieving the emission intensity reduction targets. With concrete actions, we are confident to meet set targets.

Figure 7: TNB Emission Intensity Projection 2024 to 2050

In conclusion, our Carbon Management Strategy and RE Capacity Expansion is not just a roadmap but a commitment to a sustainable future. By systematically reducing carbon emissions and expanding renewable energy sources, we are taking decisive steps towards achieving our Net Zero emissions target by 2050. This journey requires continuous innovation, collaboration, and dedication. Together, we can create a cleaner, greener world for future generations.
