Penang govt identifying locations for floating solar projects
State infrastructure, transport and digital committee chairman Zairil Khir Johari said areas such as the Teluk Bahang and Mengkuang dams were potential locations for the floating solar farms. (Bernama pic) GEORGE TOWN : The Penang government plans to develop floating solar projects in line with its efforts to achieve a target of 10% renewable energy by 2030. State infrastructure, transport and digital committee chairman Zairil Khir Johari said the project was a suitable alternative in expanding the renewable energy sources due to the state's land constraints and the high cost of developing ground-mounted solar farms. Presently, he said, his team is considering strategic locations with potential to implement the project, including dam areas such as the Teluk Bahang dam and Mengkuang dam. 'Dams are most suitable for a floating solar project in terms of area and water stability, unlike the sea where there are unique challenges and even the panel installation methods are different. 'However, many matters need to be examined first, considering that the dams are sources of drinking water supply and are under the management of the Penang Water Supply Corporation. 'So, it requires approval and also more thorough study,' he told reporters after attending the Malaysian Photovoltaic Sustainable Energy Association Solar Roadshow 2025 here today. Zairil said the floating solar project would be important for the upcoming Silicon Island, with the area being actively developed and required renewable energy sources as an alternative energy supply. Therefore, he said, the state government would try to expedite the implementation of the project, especially to support development on the artificial island as the state's new green technology hub. 'It is really necessary for Silicon Island because the first area to be developed is the technology park. In two years, the factory will start operating, so we need renewable energy, especially solar.'

Malaysia leads ASEAN AI safety network for ethical governance
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia is taking the lead in strengthening regional cooperation through the newly proposed ASEAN AI Safety Network, a platform designed to promote shared standards in artificial intelligence (AI) governance, ethics, and innovation. This initiative aligns with the country's ASEAN chairmanship this year. Digital Minister Gobind Singh Deo emphasised the importance of embedding trust in the digital ecosystem to ensure meaningful and inclusive digital transformation. He stated that the Ministry of Digital is focused on creating adaptable frameworks that encourage responsible innovation rather than imposing rigid solutions. 'This includes a commitment to continuous engagement by listening, learning and collaborating with like-minded partners to ensure today's decisions lay the groundwork for a secure, inclusive and future-ready digital landscape,' he said in a statement. At the ASEAN-China Forum on Digital Cooperation in Shanghai, Gobind proposed certification frameworks for AI systems, including large language models (LLMs), to support responsible AI adoption. These frameworks aim to align AI technologies with national priorities, cultural contexts, and public expectations, fostering trust at every stage of deployment. Gobind reiterated that trust is the cornerstone of effective digital transformation. As Malaysia strengthens its role as a regional digital leader, trust remains central to national strategy, international partnerships, and emerging technology development. AI is projected to contribute USD17.5 trillion to the global economy by 2030, transforming sectors like healthcare, education, and logistics. However, realising this potential requires robust governance structures that inspire confidence. 'Malaysia's emphasis on ethical, inclusive and transparent digital policy has attracted global recognition, with RM163.6 billion in digital investments secured in 2024, a testament to growing international confidence in the country's digital vision,' he added. – Bernama

M'sia Leads Efforts To Advance AI Governance Via ASEAN AI Safety Network
KUALA LUMPUR, July 29 (Bernama) -- Malaysia will lead efforts to enhance regional cooperation through the establishment of the ASEAN AI Safety Network, a platform aimed to advance shared standards for artificial intelligence (AI) governance, ethics and cross-border innovation, in line with its ASEAN chairmanship this year. For that purpose, Digital Minister Gobind Singh Deo said that trust must be embedded in the foundations of the digital ecosystem for meaningful and inclusive digital transformation to succeed. He said instead of dictating fixed solutions, the Ministry of Digital is focused on creating enduring frameworks that empower innovation to grow responsibly. 'This includes a commitment to continuous engagement by listening, learning and collaborating with like-minded partners to ensure today's decisions lay the groundwork for a secure, inclusive and future-ready digital landscape. 'Malaysia is unwavering in its resolve to ensure that all digital development reflects the shared values of dignity, opportunity and progress for all,' he said in a statement today. At the ASEAN-China Forum on Digital Cooperation in Shanghai yesterday, Gobind proposed the establishment of certification frameworks for AI systems to support responsible AI adoption, including the use of large language models (LLMs). He said these certification frameworks are intended to ensure that AI technologies reflect national priorities, cultural contexts and public expectations, thereby instilling trust at every stage of deployment, adding that they will act as both safeguards and enablers, reinforcing confidence in the technologies that power Malaysia's digital economy. During his speech, Gobind also reaffirmed that trust is the foundation of effective and inclusive digital transformation. He said as Malaysia advances its position as a digital leader in the region, trust continues to guide national strategy, shape international partnerships and underpin the development of emerging technologies.
