Chairman of MSCA
Assalamualaikum, Greetings from MSCA!
Welcome to the 7th Volume of MSCA E- Newsletter. Time flies when you are using the technology. As you can see, MSCA are growing and actively seeking for new collaboration opportunities that can be pursued towards advancing smart city initiatives in Malaysia. One of the critical goals of smart cities is to tackle the pressing issue of climate change and decarbonisation. In this volume, we focus on decarbonisation technology, which refers to technologies that help reduce and extract carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. We delve into the concept of smart cities and explore how they are driving the transition to a low-carbon and sustainable future. While the concept of smart cities and decarbonisation holds great promise, several challenges and opportunities need to be addressed to ensure successful implementation. I believe by embracing innovation and working collectively, we can build smart cities that leave a positive impact on the environment and set new standards for urban living.
Therefore, in this issue, we will enlighten the opportunities for all members since decarbonisation is a long-term effort involving continually changing norms, rules, frameworks, expectations, technology, and research. This is where industry players like us can make a significant contribution by collaborating with the state and local government to make necessary technology rollout to reduce GHG emissions throughout the entire value chain. I hope this newsletter will be a catalyst for exploring new ideas and innovations, especially in accelerating the implementation of smart cities in Malaysia. In MSCA, we are committed to fostering collaboration, knowledge sharing and joint efforts to achieve the goals of sustainable urban development and decarbonisation.
