  • Pelajar berisiko buta akibat dibelasah di sekolah

    Pelajar berisiko buta akibat dibelasah di sekolah

    Syabas diucapkan kepada YB Puan Fadhlina Binti Sidek atas komitmen cekapnya dalam menerajui Kementerian Pendidikan Malaysia. Doa kami semoga Tuhan Yang Maha Berkuasa melimpahkan berkat kepada YB Menteri, memberikan kesihatan yang baik dan umur yang panjang.

    Warkah ini dilanjutkan terus kepada YB Menteri atas kelemahan yang dipercayai diamalkan oleh pihak Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Puchong Utama (1) Jalan PU 5, Taman Puchong Utama 47150 Puchong Selangor.

    Seorang pelajar Bernama THINESH A/L SELVENDREN, No KP: 081030-16-0193 di Tingkatan 3, Sekolah yang tertera diatas telah dibelasah oleh beberapa pelajar sekolah yang sama pada 05/09/2023. Insiden tersebut berlaku dimana mengikut pelajar iaitu mangsa seramai enam (6) pelajar sekolah yang sama tetapi kelas berlainan telah membelasahnya. Mangsa telah mengalami KERETAKAN TULANG BAWAH MATA YANG TERUK SEHINGGA MANGSA HILANG PENGLIHATAN 50%.

    Insiden tersebut telah dilaporkan kepada pihak Sekolah tersebut dan satu laporan Polis pun telah dibuat. Pihak Sekolah dipercayai masih mengamalkan REMEH sahaja isu tersebut dengan langsung tidak mengambil inisiatif:-

    1. Melawat pelajar yang terlantar di hospital.
    2. Pihak Sekolah dibawah pengelolaan Guru Besar sekolah tersebut langsung tidak mengadakan sesuatu perjumpaan SILATURAHIM bersama-sama Ibu Bapa pelajar yang dibelasah dengan Ibu Bapa Mangsa berserta dengan pihak Polis bagi membuat satu penyelesaian yang PROFESIONAL.

    Justeru demikian kami sebagai Badan NGO percaya benar bahawa pihak sekolah  langsung tidak memainkan peranan keprihatinan dalam menangani isu yang telah berlaku. Sepatutnya Guru Besar dan pihak Pengelola sekolah tersebut harus menghulurkan bantuan segera demi kesihatan mangsa serta mengesyorkan membawa mangsa ke hospital kerajaan serta mendapatkan rawatan pertama terperinci pakar. Pihak Ibu Bapa terpaksa membawa mangsa ke hospital swasta setelah dapati bahawa memang tulang DI BAWAH MATA RETAK yang diberitahu oleh pihak kesihatan batu 14, Puchong.

    Maka kami memohon jasa baik budi bicara YB Menteri supaya memandang serius perkara yang telah berlaku kepada mangsa serta mengambil Tindakan tegas terhadap Pihak Pengelola Sekolah tersebut serta mengesyorkan Tindakan DISIPLIN ETIKA terhadap mereka yang tidak bertanggungjawab sungguh memegang jawatan dalam pengurusan sekolah.

    Untuk pengetahuan YB Menteri. Bahawasanya Menteri pernah mengeluarkan kenyataan media pada 09/09/2023 yang pihak Kementerian Pendidikan (KPM) tidak akan berkompromi dengan sebarang tindakan aktiviti buli kerana sekolah sepatutnya menjadi tempat yang paling selamat  untuk setiap PELAJAR. Yang juga bertemakan “MEMARTABATKAN KARAMAH INSANIAH & MEMBANGUN GENERASI MADANI” YB Menteri juga telah melancarkan “GARIS PANDUAN TANGAN BULI & GANGGUAN SEKSUAL PELAJAR” di Bukit Mertajam, Pulau Pinag pada 22/09/2023.

    Harap sungguh bahawa pihak sekolah yang tertera diatas mengamalkan dan menggunakan Garis panduan tersebut tanpa sebarang kompromi.

     

  • Bursa Carbon Exchange Ushers in a New Era of Sustainable Trading with Shariah Compliance

    Kuala Lumpur, 26 September 2023 − Bursa Malaysia Berhad (“Bursa Malaysia”) proudly declared that its subsidiary, Bursa Carbon Exchange (“BCX”), successfully initiated trading and facilitated off-market transactions for carbon credits. On the second day of trading, a total of 16,500 Verra-registered carbon credits were transacted by ten companies across different industries. This signifies a promising outset for Malaysia’s voluntary carbon market (“VCM”).

    “We are pleased with the successful go-live of the BCX trading platform. Bursa Malaysia’s efforts and agility underscores our speed-to-market in fulfilling a national mandate to facilitate the country’s shift towards a lower carbon economy,” said Datuk Muhamad Umar Swift, Chief Executive Officer of Bursa Malaysia.

    For the commencement of trading, two standardised contracts were offered – the Global Technology-Based Carbon Contract (“GTC”), focusing on global technology-based greenhouse gas (“GHG”) reduction projects, and the Global Nature-Based Plus Carbon Contract (“GNC+”), which features global nature-based GHG reduction projects with co-benefits in the Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (“AFOLU”) sector.

    Companies who took part in the go-live trading on BCX (beginning with the highest volume traded) were:

    • Vitol Asia Pte Ltd
    • Petro Ocean Sdn Bhd
    • Global Tunikara Sdn Bhd
    • Sumisaujana TCM Chemical Sdn Bhd
    • Green Innotech Sdn Bhd
    • Graphene Synergy R&D Sdn Bhd
    • Yinson Holdings Bhd
    • ICT Zone Asia Bhd
    • CIMB Bank Berhad
    • Sisma Water Technology Sdn Bhd

    “Interestingly, we observed a notable surge in participation by smaller companies, demonstrating the growing awareness of environmental responsibility among not just public listed companies, but also among small and medium-sized enterprises. While the participation of large corporations remains vital, this shift indicates that there is wider embrace of sustainability practices, which suggests future broader demand for decarbonisation projects,” added Datuk Umar.

    “Our aspiration is to offer a variety of environmental solutions based on market needs. We have received increasing requests from corporates seeking an independent and cost-effective platform for renewable energy certificates (RECs) transactions. Thus, we are pleased to announce our intent to offer RECs on BCX by the third quarter of next year. As a trusted and experienced exchange operator, Bursa Malaysia has a key role in the national energy transition, which is to facilitate financing in low carbon technologies, and accelerating availability of RECs,” Datuk Umar elaborated.

    The BCX is one of the many initiatives by the Exchange to complement proactive efforts by Malaysian companies to reduce their impact to the environment. “BCX will take time to build liquidity as it is in its infancy stage. In time, we are confident that our various ecosystem building efforts and offering of high quality environmental solutions will surely gain traction. We urge leading companies to step up and be early active participants of the BCX, either as a supplier or a buyer,” stated Datuk Umar.

    BCX is currently waiving its onboarding fee and offering a discount on its trading fee until the end of 2023. Companies who have yet to onboard or trade are encouraged to take advantage of the offer before the year ends. The BCX trading platform was co-designed and developed with Deon Digital AG, which is headquartered in Switzerland.

  • Bursa Malaysia Takes a Significant Step Towards Sustainability with VCM Handbook Release

    The inaugural Bursa Malaysia Carbon Market Forum 2023, aligned with IGEM 2023, featured key insights and discussions on Malaysia’s efforts in establishing and promoting the Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM). YB Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad, Minister of Natural Resources, Environment and Climate Change (NRECC), was present to engage in this significant event.

    The VCM Handbook is a collaborative effort between Bursa Malaysia Berhad (“Bursa Malaysia” or the “Exchange”) and the Malaysian Green Technology and Climate Change Corporation (“MGTC”), which was initiated through a memorandum of collaboration (“MOC”) signed on 20 February 2023. The VCM Handbook was developed in consultation with NRECC and various ecosystem participants.

    As Malaysia shifts towards becoming a lower carbon economy, the VCM Handbook is a relevant guide designed to assist entities keen on participating in carbon market project development and Malaysia’s voluntary carbon market. The handbook defines the roles and functions of key entities in Malaysia’s carbon market operations, serving as a reference point for market players.

    “We are delighted to complete the VCM Handbook within just six months of the MOC signing, and this demonstrates effective collaboration in fulfilling a need to nurture the development of carbon projects in Malaysia,” said Datuk Muhamad Umar Swift, Chief Executive Officer of Bursa Malaysia.

    “With the increasing prominence on carbon offsets and carbon markets globally, it is imperative that Malaysia acts on the nation’s untapped potential, by developing its VCM ecosystem and implementing high-quality carbon projects. This VCM Handbook is a critical step in ensuring Malaysia’s VCM can truly support the country’s net zero journey,” added Datuk Umar.

    “The VCM Handbook will be a valuable resource to facilitate carbon offset project implementation in Malaysia, where the carbon credit generated will be used by other corporations to meet their net zero targets. The VCM Handbook provides essential information on how it works, key concepts, standard methodologies, and case studies,” shared Ts. Shamsul Bahar Mohd Nor, Group Chief Executive Officer of MGTC.

    He added, “MGTC is honoured to collaborate with bursa Malaysia in developing it. We thank the numerous stakeholders, including federal ministries, state governments, relevant government agencies, carbon consultants, project developers, as well as validation and verification bodies, for their invaluable contributions. In addition to the VCM Handbook, we are pleased to announce the launch of a VCM Directory, another necessary tool to scale up the emerging Malaysia’s carbon credit supply.”

    Datuk Umar also shared plans to promote both the VCM Handbook and VCM Directory at the Malaysia Pavilion during the 2023 UN Climate Change Conference (UNFCCC COP 28) in Dubai later this year. “Our goal is to attract international project developers and investors to participate in the development of high-quality carbon projects in Malaysia, and facilitate the transfer of knowledge, skills and capital needed to rapidly scale up carbon initiatives in the country. This effort is pivotal in supporting domestic corporates in their net zero and carbon neutrality goals, and for fulfilment of the role of the Bursa Carbon Exchange,” he explained.

    The inaugural Malaysia Carbon Market Forum is a half-day event organised by the Bursa Carbon Exchange. With knowledge sharing as the central focus, the forum offered participants the opportunity to learn from both local and leading global experts on global VCM trends and how to leverage and navigate carbon markets and carbon project development. Speakers at the forum included representatives from International Emissions Trading Association (IETA), Verra, Indonesia Carbon Trade Association (IDCTA), Vitol, Sylvera, Permian Global, Shell’s Nature Based Solutions business, EKI Energy Services Ltd., Viridios Capital Pty Ltd and BloombergNEF.

    A copy of the VCM Handbook can now be downloaded from https://bcx.bursamalaysia.com/index.php?rp=vcm_handbook. Companies operating in the carbon market industry can now register their services in the newly established VCM Directory, accessible via https://www.mgtc.gov.my/vcm/.

  • IGEM 2023: A Crucible for Synergistic Eco-Innovations and Alliances

    The second day of IGEM 2023, a pivotal event promoting green technologies and eco-friendly products, showcased a series of impactful Memoranda of Cooperation (MoC) signings with influential partners. These collaborations are anticipated to be instrumental in fostering innovation and driving sustainable development across multiple sectors, amplifying Malaysia’s commitment to a green economy and contributing to the global embrace of renewable energy and environmentally-conscious practices.

    The MoC signing between Malaysian Green Technology and Climate Change Corporation (MGTC) and Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) marks a significant step toward advancing energy efficiency and renewable energy initiatives. The collaboration covers research partnerships focusing on Green Building assessment and renewable energy applications, knowledge exchange, publication sharing, and industry attachment programmes. It also aims to enhance sustainable energy management at UUM’s campus by achieving Energy Management Gold Standard certification and offering student capacity-building programmes. This collaboration will indirectly contribute to the green economy by promoting energy efficiency, renewable energy adoption, and environmental responsibility.

    Meanwhile, the MoC between MGTC and Mont Aero Sdn Bhd signals a joint commitment to develop hydrogen-related technologies focusing on hydrogen production and hydrogen gen-sets. The collaboration includes promoting hydrogen genset usage, converting landfill biogas into green hydrogen, and seeking government grants and funding. With an estimated investment value of RM15 million, this partnership aligns with Malaysia’s National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR) and the Hydrogen Economy and Technology Roadmap. The aims of this MoC are rooted in environmental sustainability, energy efficiency, waste management, access to funding, national energy goals, and technological progress, all of which collectively contribute to a more sustainable and green energy landscape.

    On the other hand, the MoC between MGTC and SIRIM focuses on energy efficiency and renewable energy initiatives to support the transition towards a sustainable energy future. The collaboration will explore initiatives related to biomass, biogas, and hydrogen, as well as knowledge sharing and utilising SIRIM labs. This partnership is expected to contribute significantly to Malaysia’s NETR regarding energy efficiency and renewable energy targets. It also seeks to harness expertise, resources, and innovative technologies to promote a greener and more sustainable energy future while fostering knowledge sharing, and quality research and development. Ultimately, these efforts align with global initiatives to combat climate change and ensure a cleaner, more sustainable energy landscape for the future.

    Furthermore, MGTC, along with Alya Agro Venture Sdn Bhd, Ain Biomass Industries Sdn Bhd, and Planters International Berhad, has signed an MoC to collaborate on a biomass project that utilises bamboo as feedstock for the production of bamboo pellets and bamboo biochar. This partnership includes the purchase of raw bamboo, expanding production, knowledge sharing, and engagement in nature-based carbon sequestration efforts. The MoC is also motivated by the desire to leverage bamboo as a sustainable feedstock and enhance production capabilities, aligning with Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 7: Affordable and Clean Energy and SDG 13: Climate Action.

    Ts Shamsul Bahar Mohd Nor, GCEO of MGTC, explained, “This collaboration will contribute to the green economy by providing a renewable energy source, creating local jobs, promoting trade and export, and mitigating climate change through carbon sequestration. A pilot project on bamboo as biomass feedstock is underway to support the bioenergy transition and the NETR.”

    MGTC and Bank Pembangunan Malaysia Berhad (BPMB) have also signed an MoC focusing on corporate sustainability by adopting the Low Carbon Operating System (LCOS), a cloud-based platform for carbon management. This collaboration was made to advance corporate sustainability, reduce carbon emissions, promote knowledge sharing, raise climate change awareness, adopt green technology solutions, provide access to green financing, and actively participate in global climate initiatives, all in alignment with environmental stewardship and climate action goals. BPMB will also partner with the Malaysia Pavilion at COP28 (Conference of Parties) as part of their commitment to environmental stewardship. Also present during the signing ceremony was YB Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad, Minister of Natural Resources, Environment and Climate Change.

    The Green Technology Financing Scheme (GTFS) 4.0 launch highlights the financial support for various green sectors, including energy, manufacturing, transportation, building, waste, and water. The scheme provides attractive incentives to SMEs, mainly the 1.5% interest/profit rebate for the first five to seven years and a 60%-80% government guarantee on financing.  The appointed implementing agencies for GTFS 4.0 are MGTC and Credit Guarantee Corporation Malaysia Berhad (CGC) (the scheme administrator). MGTC and CGC will collaborate with Participating Financial Institutions (PFIs) to encourage local companies and entrepreneurs to participate in green technology projects and support the national green technology agenda.

    Ts Shamsul Bahar added, “The collaborations announced on the second day of IGEM 2023 are poised to accelerate Malaysia’s transition to a sustainable, green future, driving economic growth, job creation, and environmental responsibility.”
