3D forest mapping system can enhance Sarawak's carbon trading capacity
A cutting-edge three-dimensional (3D) forest mapping system developed by the Forest Department Sarawak (FDS) could strengthen the state's carbon trading capacity by identifying forest segments with high carbon sequestration potential. Sarawak Premier Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg (picture) said he was impressed by the system, which provides essential data on a forest's capacity to absorb carbon—an important element in carbon trading. 'If we have the data, as I saw in the 3D (forest mapping system), we can determine the aggregate absorption capacity of our forests. Because the price of carbon is determined by the open market, we now have data that could support the imposition of a levy or carbon tax based on our forests' carbon absorption capacity,' he said. Speaking at the Sarawak-level International Day of Forests celebration here today, he said the state must continue developing new technologies to advance its green economy agenda, where development must not come at the expense of the environment. 'Our policy, which I want to share with you, is that the Sarawak government prioritises our natural resources. These resources must be managed prudently, and that will drive economic development through the opportunities created by our environmental conservation efforts,' he said. Abang Johari said the Sarawak government is also integrating circular economy principles into its green economy initiatives, including promoting recycling processes, particularly from palm oil mills and livestock waste, to produce green energy sources such as hydrogen and methane. He said Sarawak's circular economy model was among the topics highlighted in his keynote address at the ASEAN Summit in Kuala Lumpur in May, where his phrase 'don't waste the wastes, monetise the wastes' drew the attention of attending economists. Abang Johari said that the state circular economy approach was one of the matters that he highlighted in his keynote address at the ASEAN Summit in Kuala Lumpur recently, to which his phrase of 'don't waste the wastes, monetise the wastes' attracted the attention of economists attending the event. 'I mentioned this because our policy takes into account how we can sustain the environment while developing our state,' he said. According to him, Sarawak's green economy initiative was also acknowledged at the World Asia Hydrogen Conference 2025 in Tokyo, where he delivered a keynote address last Thursday. He also revealed that he has been invited to deliver a similar address at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. 'I was informed that they will invite me to share our policy at the World Economic Forum in Davos. That means the world has acknowledged us,' he added. — BERNAMA

Don't be influenced by claims that govt neglects Terengganu
KUALA TERENGGANU: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has asked the people of the state not to be influenced by baseless claims that the federal government is not doing any development for their welfare. He said in fact, a total of 445 programmes and projects with an allocation of RM1.836 billion have been approved in Terengganu under the Fifth Rolling Plan (RP5) Development Programmes/Projects of the 12th Malaysia Plan (MP12). He said this was an increase of RM239 million compared to last year, thus refuting claims by some quarters that no development was being done for the state. '..this is I announcing projects that are underway or have started to proceed. Sometimes it is slow (because we have to take into account) the issue of land acquisition, impact studies and suitability, but the approved (project) is RM1.836 billion. 'So if there are people giving talks in any village, claiming no projects, please explain the approved allocation of RM1.836 billion,' he said when speaking at the Closing Ceremony of the Terengganu MADANI Rakyat (PMR) 2025 Programme at the Pasar Kedai Payang compound, here today. - Bernama
