  • Strategic Collaboration for a Greener Tomorrow: MGTC, Biotech Dinamik, and State Power Investment Corporation Unite for Green Energy Endeavors

    Strategic Collaboration for a Greener Tomorrow: MGTC, Biotech Dinamik, and State Power Investment Corporation Unite for Green Energy Endeavors

    In a significant development, Malaysian Green Technology and Climate Change Corporation have established a strategic alliance with Biotek Dinamik Sdn. Bhd., a prominent player in the renewable energy sector committed to climate change mitigation and global decarbonization. This collaboration also involves collaboration with the State Power Investment Corporation (SPIC) of China. The primary objective of this collaboration is to drive the advancement of green energy projects in Malaysia, specifically focusing on the development of “Green Electrons” and “Green Molecules” assets. “Green Electrons” encompass Green Power (Electrons), emphasizing the electronic aspect, while “Green Molecules” emphasize Green Hydrogen & Bioenergy (Molecules), highlighting the molecular aspect.

    Datuk Eddy Yap, Chairman and CEO of Biotek Dinamik Sdn. Bhd. said, “In the final quarter of this year, the company plans to launch a 5 Gigawatts (5GW) green energy project, which is to be developed over the next 5 to 8 years, called the Asian Green Energy Belt (AGEB). The AGEB entails developing green energy generation projects from green or renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, biomass, biogas, geothermal and hydro-electric across Asia”.

    Meanwhile, Ts. Shamsul Bahar Mohd Nor, GCEO of MGTC, added that “The AGEB’s objectives are consistent with Malaysia’s national energy policies, especially with the recently launched Hydrogen Economy and Technology Roadmap (HETR), National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR), and those of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs), in the global pursuit of energy transition and net-zero carbon”.

    “AGEB is poised to become Asia’s green energy flagship project, focusing primarily on Green Power and Green Hydrogen assets development. It plans to connect all green energy hubs, which the project proposes to develop across Asia to form a green energy belt to promote and ensure regional energy security and facilitate efficient cross-border trading of green energy. AGEB aims to decarbonise our national and regional economies by advocating sustainable development via sustainable and responsible investment (SRI) in green energy generation and establishing Malaysia as the leading player in the region’s transition towards a sustainable and greener future.”, Yap added.

    To ensure success in project rollout, Biotek Dinamik Sdn. Bhd is teaming up with SPIC – one of the five major power generation groups in China and the largest solar power generation enterprise in the world (SPIC’s current installed solar photovoltaic capacity stands at 60GW), with its businesses spanning 46 countries. Currently, SPIC energy portfolio consists of 213GW total installed capacity, of which clean energy accounts for 66.19%. Total asset value stands at US$229 billion, and it is ranked 260th in Fortune Global 500, making SPIC one of the world’s largest clean energy producers with muscular financial strength and proven technical capabilities. Regarding global green energy generation rankings, measured in terms of installed capacity, SPIC ranks first in the world in solar photovoltaic, second in wind power, and first in new energy & total renewable energy. Also present at the event was Mr Zhai Chuan Xu, Director, SPIC Energy Malaysia Bhd.

    To ensure smooth and effective implementation of the AGEB project in Malaysia, MGTC is the project’s strategic partner and the enabler for the project to align with government policies, industrial guidelines and practices. In contrast, SPIC is the project’s EPCC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Commissioning) partner and investor. Phase 1 (1st-3rd year) of the AGEB entails the development of 1GW of Solar to Hydrogen project. It is estimated to cost approximately RM5 billion. In contrast, Phase 2 of the project consists of developing 4GW of green energy (both Green Electrons and Green Molecules) projects estimated to cost RM20 billion. Therefore, total investment over the next 5-8 years for the planned 5GW project is estimated to cost some RM25 billion.

    Meanwhile, both parties expressed gratitude to the Minister of Natural Resources, Environment and Climate Change, YB Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad, for his presence at the event to witness the momentous occasion.

    Kuala Lumpur, 6 September 2023 – Dari FELDA Bukit Rokan Utara, Negeri Sembilan hingga ke pentas kriket antarabangsa. Filem ‘Gemencheh Boys’ membawa kita merenung kisah sebenar yang menginspirasi, tentang sekumpulan anak kampung yang mengejar impian mereka dalam arena sukan antarabangsa.

    Filem ini mengisahkan pandangan dunia seorang atlet kriket kebangsaan, Shafiq Sharif, yang mewakili Malaysia di Piala Dunia Kriket pada tahun 2019 dan meraih pingat emas di Sukan SEA 2017.

    Mengusung tagline ‘no retreat, no surrender,’ ‘Gemencheh Boys’ memaparkan kisah anak-anak kampung yang dikenali sebagai ‘Enam Jahanam’ dan bagaimana mereka berubah setelah seorang guru memperkenalkan mereka kepada permainan kriket. Kisah ini penuh dengan tema persahabatan, pengorbanan, dan harapan, menggugah pelbagai emosi.

Kami menyedari bahawa sukan kriket tidak begitu popular dalam kalangan masyarakat Malaysia seperti mana sukan bola sepak atau badminton. Walau bagaimanapun, jalan cerita yang dipertaruhkan menerusi Gemencheh Boys mampu memberi inspirasi kepada semua penonton. Ia bukan sebuah kisah biasa dan bukan mengenai kriket semata-mata, tetapi tentang enam budak FELDA yang digelar ‘enam jahanam’, membuktikan orang biasa boleh menjadi luar biasa. Mereka juga telah mengharumkan nama negara dengan meraih pingat emas di peringkat antarabangsa. Kami mengharapkan Gemencheh Boys mampu meninggalkan impak tersendiri dan mendapat perhatian penonton berbilang bangsa.”

    Sementara itu, Pengarah, Penulis Skrip, Cerita Asal Gemencheh Boys, Jason Chong berkata, “Selain memberikan nilai hiburan, saya percaya Gemencheh Boys mampu meninggalkan kesan mendalam kepada khalayak seperti mana filem terdahulu yang kami terbitkan iaitu Adiwiraku. Menerusi tema inspirasi yang sama, kami harap Gemencheh Boys akan kekal relevan untuk penonton Malaysia dan saya rasa amat berbangga dapat menjadi sebahagian daripada filem ini.”

    Gemencheh Boys mendapat sokongan daripada Malaysia Cricket Association dan Kementerian Belia Dan Sukan. Antara sokongan seperti kolaborasi di acara julung kali diadakan di Malaysia, Internasional Cricket Counsil  – ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Trophy Tour.

    KISAH GEMENCEH BOYS YANG MENCIPTA KEAJAIBAN DALAM ARENA KRIKET GLOBAL

    Kuala Lumpur, 9 Oktober 2023 – Di tengah-tengah jangkaan semua, ‘6 Jahanam,’ gelaran unik untuk enam anak FELDA, sedang bersedia untuk mengejar pingat emas dalam gelanggang kriket peringkat antarabangsa. Gemencheh Boys, sebuah filem inspirasi yang terinspirasi daripada kisah benar keenam pemuda FELDA dari Bukit Rokan Utara dan guru mereka, Cikgu Azman, bakal mengejutkan pawagam-pawagam di seluruh negara bermula 26 Oktober ini.

    Diterbitkan oleh Astro Shaw, bekerjasama dengan GV Corporate Advisory dan SOL Pictures, filem ini jauh melangkaui konsep biasa filem sukan. Ia menghidangkan pengalaman bercerita yang mengagumkan dengan elemen humor, rasa bangga, dan sentuhan emosi yang mampu menggetarkan hati, semuanya dikongsi melalui tema semangat kesetiaan kawan dan tekad untuk mencapai kejayaan.

    Dengan tagline ‘tiada berundur, tiada menyerah,’ Gemencheh Boys memaparkan cerita mengenai Shafiq dan kelima sahabatnya sepanjang tahun-tahun sekolah mereka. Perbuatan mereka yang mencetuskan kisah di luar sekolah bukan sahaja menjadi bualan dalam kawasan sekolah, malah juga menarik perhatian penduduk kampung yang menjadi saksi kepada perjalanan mereka.

    Demi menjadikan mereka manusia berguna, Cikgu Azman bertanggungjawab untuk membimbing dan mendorong mereka menyertai pasukan kriket sekolah. Meskipun cikgu Azman tidak mempunyai asas tentang sukan yang dianggap elit itu, dia bertekad membimbing ‘6 jahanam’ –  Shafiq, Rashid, Fauzi, Amin, Shukri dan Azad untuk bermain kriket, sekaligus mengubah kehidupan mereka.

    Filem ini diceritakan dari kaca mata atlet kebangsaan Shafiq Sharif yang mewakili Malaysia untuk Piala Dunia Kriket pada tahun 2019 serta berjaya merangkul pingat emas di Sukan SEA 2017. Gemencheh Boys membuktikan kita sebagai rakyat Malaysia, tidak kira apa jua latar belakang, apabila meletakkan kepercayaan dan kesungguhan, pasti mampu meraih kejayaan – ‘from zero to hero’.

    Menarik lagi, babak-babak yang dipaparkan amat dekat dengan masyarakat kita dan ia akan membawa penonton mengimbau kenangan manis zaman kanak-kanak pada era 1990an. Antaranya main cop tiang, mandi sungai, petik buah mangga selepas balik sekolah, berbasikal sekitar kawasan kampung dengan kawan-kawan, lawan labah-labah dan simpan dalam kotak mancis, denda ketuk ketampi, layang-layang dan banyak lagi.

    Gemencheh Boys adalah hasil arahan pemenang Cerita Asal Terbaik Festival Filem Malaysia 2017, Jason Chong bersama Eric Ong. Cerita asalnya diilhamkan oleh Jason dengan kerjasama Sky Khor untuk penulisan skrip.

    Menurut Penerbit Eksekutif Gemencheh Boys merangkap Naib Presiden, Ketua Astro Shaw & Perniagaan Melayu Nusantara, Raja Jastina Raja Arshad, “Filem Gemencheh Boys adalah sebuah cerita Malaysia dengan karakter dan mesej yang amat dekat dengan masyarakat kita. Tema yang dipersembahkan membuktikan kita semua, tanpa mengira latar belakang, mampu meraih kejayaan serta menjadi luar biasa atas usaha dan kepercayaan.” 

    “Astro Shaw percaya Gemencheh Boys mempunyai tarikan hebatnya tersendiri, selain muncul sebagai naskhah berkualiti serta sarat dengan pengisian yang mampu meninggalkan kesan. Harapan kami agar filem ini dapat memberi inspirasi kepada masyarakat Malaysia berbilang kaum serta menyuntik minat terhadap karya tempatan.”

Kami berbesar hati apabila menerima maklum balas positif, lebih-lebih lagi apabila penonton bersorak dengan laungan ‘Monceh Mogah’ (Gemencheh Megah), di samping tepukan gemuruh bagaikan di stadium selepas tamat tayangan. Sebuah pengalaman menonton yang sangat berbeza”.

    Gemencheh Boys menampilkan pelakon berpengalaman seperti Pekin Ibrahim, Farah Ahmad dan Dato’ Ahmad Tarmimi Siregar yang mempamerkan persembahan cukup meyakinkan. Pemenang Pelakon Lelaki Terbaik di Festival Filem ke-28, Pekin Ibrahim sekali lagi menonjolkan sisi berbezanya apabila membawa watak Cikgu Azman yang memerlukan dialog dalam dialek Negeri Sembilan. Selain itu, Gemencheh Boys menyandarkan wajah-wajah baru dalam arena lakonan sebagai tunggak utama Aqil Yaya, Syed Ahmad, Ayiet Harith, Kimi Norais, Izzue Deen dan Amir Kuziq.

  • Aiming for Healthcare Excellence: Ministry of Health and SDCL Emphasize Energy for Critical Care

    SDCL, a leading global investor in energy efficiency, has actively engaged with prominent Malaysian organizations such as the Ministry of Health, MGTC, and MyHijau companies during Malaysia’s pioneering First Energy Efficiency Forum. Their collaboration aims at executing projects that effectively reduce carbon emissions while also generating substantial cost savings.

    Hospitals are one the largest and most consistent energy users with the crucial role they play. SDCL brings deep sector experience in demonstrating how energy efficiency can deliver cheaper, cleaner and more reliable infrastructure solutions to a key infrastructure sector. Malaysia hospitals need reliable and cost-effective energy services throughout the year, ranging from electricity and heat, to hot water and cooling. Hospitals also demand reliable and resilient energy solutions and backup systems. Energy demand reduction initiatives involving lighting and temperature control may also improve patient care.

    Through the IGEM engagement, MoH, MGTC and SDCL are setting a pathway to accelerate identifying fit-for-purpose solutions in Malaysia that require no up-front capital outlay for the user and result in lower operating costs. Through focusing on energy efficiency, hospitals can deliver cleaner, more resilient energy solutions that reduce maintenance costs and increase productivity.

    SDCL CEO Jonathan Maxwell states “Our investments in energy efficiency demonstrate that energy efficiency is not only one of the largest but the most cost-effective means to reduce greenhouse gas emissions as it improves resilience and energy security while also reducing costs and improving productivity. It is infact a major source of green growth”.
