CYBERJAYA : The Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI) has reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening collaboration with the Ministry of Energy Transition and Water Transformation (PETRA) to explore the potential of nuclear energy in Malaysia. Its minister, Chang Lih Kang, said nuclear energy has long been identified as a strategic area, with MOSTI playing a key role in advancing related technologies, developing talent, and formulating the regulatory framework. “Exploration in the nuclear field is not new. Discussions between MOSTI and PETRA have been ongoing, but this time, with clear government backing under the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP), we are now moving forward in a more comprehensive and structured manner. “This reflects a whole-of-nation approach, where all relevant stakeholders are being engaged. We have formed six task forces, three led by MOSTI and three by PETRA,” he told Bernama and RTM after opening the International Conference on Science Diplomacy for Regional Prosperity in ASEAN here today. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, when tabling the 13MP last Thursday, said the government was considering nuclear energy as one of the clean, competitive and safe energy sources Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, in tabling the 13th Malaysia Plan last Thursday, stated that the government is considering nuclear energy as one of the clean, competitive, and safe energy sources for the future. A structured assessment is currently underway to evaluate its role in Malaysia’s long-term energy mix. The initiative aims to diversify energy sources, enhance energy security, support national carbon reduction targets, and reduce reliance on fossil fuels, aligning with the country’s climate commitments and rising energy demand. In addition to nuclear energy, Chang said MOSTI is also involved in developing other strategic sectors such as rare earth elements (REE), with a similar focus on technology development, talent cultivation, and regulatory frameworks. He added that MOSTI is preparing to implement a range of Science, Technology, and Innovation (STI) initiatives outlined in RMK13, as part of efforts to elevate Malaysia into a high-tech economy. “As the implementing ministry, we are fully committed to driving the country’s progress through the successful execution of these STI initiatives,” he said. - Bernama

KUALA LUMPUR : All large-scale housing developments in Malaysia must be guided by the MADANI principles, with particular emphasis on providing essential public infrastructure, including educational facilities, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said today. He said that any housing project comprising 3,500 residential units or more must include access to schools, public transport, healthcare facilities, and small business spaces for hawkers. “I urge serious attention to this. Every project must align with the MADANI principles. If there’s a school nearby, parents earning RM3,000 monthly wouldn’t need to spend RM300 to RM400 just to send their children to school. This not only reduces transportation costs but also enhances the safety of their children. “This is what it means to be truly concerned about the people’s problems. If a project lacks an education component, say in the case of high-rise housing, developers should allocate several blocks to build vertical schools with dedicated lifts. “The development cost of these schools would be relatively low, and the Ministry of Education will bear that portion,” Anwar said at the groundbreaking ceremony for the Residensi Aman MADANI project in Bandar Sri Permaisuri, here today. Also present were the Prime Minister’s wife and Bandar Tun Razak Member of Parliament Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Federal Territories) Datuk Seri Dr Zaliha Mustafa, and Mayor Datuk Seri Dr Maimunah Mohd Sharif. Anwar, who is also Finance Minister, also directed all relevant agencies, including the Ministry of Housing and Local Government, city mayors, city and municipal councils, and all related departments, to closely monitor all housing projects in their areas to ensure full compliance with the MADANI concept. He further emphasised the need for developers to expedite construction to prevent undue hardship for homebuyers. “Some housing projects have remained unfinished for eight years due to poor planning that failed to consider critical factors. These delays often become politicised. I want all projects to be completed promptly to ease the burden on the people,” he said. - Bernama

KUALA LUMPUR - Malaysia sedang mempertimbangkan penggunaan tenaga nuklear sebagai sebahagian daripada campuran tenaga jangka panjangnya, bagaimanapun keputusan muktamad mengenainya hanya akan dibuat selepas 2030, kata Timbalan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof.Fadillah yang juga Menteri Peralihan Tenaga dan Transformasi Air berkata, kerajaan belum komited untuk membina loji tenaga nuklear lagi tetapi telah menubuhkan organisasi tenaga nuklear (NPO) khusus bagi mengkaji semua rangka kerja diperlukan termasuk perjanjian antarabangsa, peraturan domestik dan keperluan modal insan."Kami (kerajaan) belum membuat sebarang keputusan. Keputusan hanya akan dibuat selepas tahun 2030...selepas mengkaji keseluruhan peraturan, teknologi dan sebagainya."Ia hanya boleh dilaksanakan apabila orang ramai menerimanya (penggunaan tenaga nuklear).

KUALA LUMPUR : Malaysia is considering nuclear energy as part of its long-term energy mix, but the final decision on whether to proceed with nuclear power generation will only be made after 2030, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof said. Fadillah, who is also Energy Transition and Water Transformation Minister, said the government has not committed to building a nuclear power plant yet, but has established a dedicated nuclear power organisation (NPO) to study all necessary frameworks, including international treaties, domestic regulations and human capital requirements. “We have not decided. The decision will only come after 2030, after we study the whole regulation, the technologies and so on. “It can only be implemented when there is public acceptance. Safety, social well-being and environmental concerns must all be evaluated first,” he told reporters after the luncheon talk titled “Driving the Green Energy Transition” here today.

UTTARAKHAND : Heavy rains and landslides have severely hampered rescue operations in India’s Himalayan state of Uttarakhand, where four people have died and dozens remain missing. Flash floods and mudslides struck Dharali village, a key tourist stop near the pilgrimage town of Gangotri, cutting off access as highways were blocked. Army and disaster response teams worked through the night to reach stranded residents, though landslides and relentless rainfall slowed progress. “The number of missing persons is unknown, however the relief efforts have continued through the night. We are trying to rescue people and take them to safety,“ said Colonel Harshavardhan, leading the rescue mission. The army camp in Harsil, located four kilometres from Dharali, was also affected by flash floods, with 11 personnel reported missing. Additional resources, including tracker dogs, drones, and earthmoving equipment, have been deployed to assist in the operation. Television footage showed torrents of mud and water tearing through the village, destroying homes and roads as residents fled. A video shared by the state chief minister’s office confirmed that some houses were buried under debris. Uttarakhand frequently experiences such disasters, with experts linking the increasing severity to climate change. The region’s fragile ecosystem makes it highly vulnerable to extreme weather events. - Reuters
