Climate Stress Ravages Terengganu Coral Reefs
MERSING, July 25 (Bernama) — Three coral reef zones in Terengganu have been identified as worst-hit by coral bleaching in Malaysia this year, according to the latest data on the country's marine ecosystem monitoring. Malaysian Marine Science Society (MSMS) president Affendi Yang Amri said due to rising sea surface temperatures, Pulau Redang recorded 100 per cent bleaching with a coral mortality rate of 63.6 pct, making it the worst hit location so far. This was followed by marine park islands like Pasir Besar in Pulau Lang Tengah which recorded a bleaching rate of 88.7 per cent and a mortality rate of 56.8 per cent, while Seringgih in Pulau Perhentian saw a bleaching rate of 54.9 per cent and a mortality rate of 24.9 per cent. "The three affected locations are located in Terengganu, which is one of the main states focused on marine-based tourism," he told Bernama at the Coral Reef Rehabilitation programme in Pulau Aur, Mersing recently. He said high sea surface temperature due to climate change is the main factor in the large-scale coral bleaching in several locations in the country this year. Affendi, who is also a coral reef expert, said the phenomenon was also recorded in several other locations including Sabah and Johor, and described the current bleaching as one of the worst in the history of coral reef monitoring in the country. "Last year, 2024, was indeed a very bad year. Sea water temperatures rose too high for a long period of time, causing coral reefs to become stressed, bleach and eventually die. In some locations, the death rate reached 60 per cent," he told Bernama. He said coral bleaching occurs when algae that live symbiotically with coral reefs are separated due to heat (thermal) stress, causing corals to lose their main food source and turns white and that coral reefs are breeding grounds for one third of marine species. 'When temperatures rise by just one degree Celsius above normal, corals will be stressed. The microscopic algae (called zooxanthellae) that usually provides up to 90 per cent of the coral's food will be expelled. When this algae is gone, the coral loses its colour (and turns white), the coral starves and eventually dies,' he explained.

SPAN launches REKA+ competition for youth water innovation
PUTRAJAYA: The National Water Services Commission (SPAN) has introduced the REKA+ competition to encourage creativity and innovation among Malaysian youth.

New UK envoy to Malaysia to prioritise chip cooperation
Ajay Sharma, UK High Commissioner to Malaysia - Bernama KUALA LUMPUR: The United Kingdom's new High Commissioner to Malaysia, Ajay Sharma, has made strengthening bilateral cooperation a key priority, with a particular focus on the fast-growing semiconductor sector and the development of integrated chip design and advanced manufacturing. He said the British government is keen to strengthen linkages and exchange ideas to increase the value chain in both countries in the semiconductor industry and the manufacture of high-end chips. This aligns with Malaysia's ambitions under the National Semiconductor Strategy or NSS to transition from outsourced semiconductor assembly and testing to high-end manufacturing and niche capabilities such as integrated circuit design. 'We have seen a Malaysian company invest in a new compound semiconductor facility in Wales,' he said, referring to SMD Semiconductor, a Sarawak state-owned firm that recently opened a research and development innovation hub in Newport, an industrial port city in Wales. 'Therefore, I really want to work with Malaysia on the semiconductor industry. Malaysia is already involved in different parts of the value chain, and we can complement and learn from each other,' he told Bernama after appearing on Bernama TV's 'The Nation' programme recently. Sharma, who succeeded Ailsa Terry CMG, had previously served in Iran, Qatar, Turkiye, Moscow and Paris. He also sees potential for a UK-Malaysia partnership in offering specialised courses on semiconductors and chip design in British universities, where a significant number of Malaysian students pursue higher education. 'We can also collaborate with local universities to bring Malaysian talent to the United Kingdom and set up courses here. Then we could see these courses develop and expand to Malaysia as well,' he said. He also highlighted clean energy as an area for increased bilateral cooperation, in which Malaysia has immense potential and where Britain could play a supporting role. 'Malaysia has huge natural resources, immense opportunities in clean energy and is working on significant development on carbon capture, green tech and energy transition. Malaysia also has creative and innovative technologies which can be used in our universities, labs and expanded into businesses. 'This interests me to try to get more investments from both countries in this sector as well,' said Sharma. Sharma said he is keen to boost two-way investments, especially Malaysian investments in the United Kingdom, citing successful ventures such as the Battersea Power Station redevelopment, YTL's Brabazon project in Bristol, and contributions in sectors ranging from water utilities like Wessex Water to power generation. At the same time, he aims to raise awareness among UK companies about business opportunities in Malaysia. 'Companies in the United Kingdom do not know much about the opportunities here in Malaysia, and we need to raise the profile to generate business interest. 'So, that is a key area that I would like to fix under my leadership,' said Sharma, who stressed this is even more important with Malaysia being a key market for economic growth in the Asean region. With UK-Malaysia trade worth £6bil (RM34.8bil), the potential for increased trade is huge. 'We should be doing much more in many areas, such as tech development, which affects everything from healthcare to life sciences to defence manufacturing.'
