According to reports, the Malaysian Parliament is expected to incorporate solar energy in its operation by June next year in its effort towards a more sustainable future.

Dewan Rakyat Speaker Tan Sri Johari Abdul said the initiative is in line with the government target of zero net emissions by 2050, with the Public Works Department currently finishing up the tendering process for the project.

“We are probably the first Parliament House in the world run by renewable energy (RE) by next year…so no more carbon, nothing! As you walk in, you will inhale fresh air and good oxygen.”

He hoped that the initiative would signal other government departments and agencies to participate in efforts to use renewable energy as it is cheaper and environmentally friendly.

Meanwhile, Johari believes policymakers are steadfast in their commitment to sustainable development and green financing initiatives.

“These efforts are vital in ensuring that no part of our society is left behind as we transition to a more sustainable future. Although we are making positive strides on this front, the journey ahead requires more than just commitment. It demands action and collaboration, which cuts across all sectors,” he added.

He said that to level the playing field, the economies of ASEAN must continue to drive economic transformation towards becoming low-carbon and climate-resilient so that they can prosper socio-economically.
