"Through Energy Asia, our ambition is to establish the region's foremost platform for thought leadership on the energy transition, a space that not only showcases bold ideas and innovation, but also drives meaningful, tangible action.'
"We also aim to bridge the gap between emerging and developed economies by fostering cross-sector and cross-border collaboration. Only through inclusive and equitable dialogue can we unlock the full potential of Asia's diverse energy landscape and ensure that no one is left behind,' she added.
A new feature this year is the Energy Asia Global Leadership Executive Forum, a closed-door session for C-suite leaders from energy, finance, technology and professional services. The forum will aim to align investment strategies and scale up technology deployment.
Two additional initiatives will make their debut: the Energy Asia Awards, recognising leadership in energy transition, and Future Energy Leaders, spotlighting emerging talent across the region.

PM Anwar stresses fair development and welfare in national agenda
MUAR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has reaffirmed that Malaysia's development agenda must not compromise the rights and welfare of its people. Speaking at the launch of the National Month and Fly the Jalur Gemilang 2025 Campaign at Dataran Tanjung Emas, he emphasised justice and holistic balance as core principles. 'Let's not develop while destructing. We construct buildings, industries, technologies, economic zones... but the people are oppressed, neglected. This is not true development,' Anwar said. He stressed that sustainable economic growth must benefit all segments of society, not just the wealthy. Anwar cited the Quranic principle of *ummatan wasatan* (balanced nation), which integrates justice in faith, knowledge, and material well-being. He also called for fair fiscal policies, including progressive taxation targeting high-income earners and profitable corporations rather than burdening the poor. 'We cannot tax the poor. If schools need to be repaired, where must the money come from? We impose taxes on the rich and companies making millions in profits,' he said. He urged major corporations like Petronas, Tenaga Nasional Berhad, and Maybank to align their wage policies with their profits. 'If a company makes RM1 million profit, but pays its workers RM1,500... how can? We have already raised the minimum wage from RM1,200 to RM1,500, and now to RM1,700. We will continue to do so gradually,' Anwar added. The event was attended by Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil, Johor Menteri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi, and other senior officials. Anwar reiterated that national independence carries the responsibility of equitable wealth distribution, ensuring prosperity for all Malaysians. - Bernama

Call to give rural S'wak school-leavers a chance at Universiti Teknologi Petronas
Julaihi delivers his speech. — Photo by Chimon Upon SEBUYAU (July 27): Malaysia LNG Sdn Bhd (MLNG), a subsidiary of Petronas, has been encouraged to facilitate higher education opportunities at Universiti Teknologi Petronas (UTP) for rural school-leavers, particularly from SMK Sebuyau, to help nurture local talent and bridge the rural-urban education gap. Sarawak Minister of Utility and Telecommunications, Dato Sri Julaihi Narawi, who is also Sebuyau assemblyman, said many rural youths possessed the potential and talent to excel if given access to quality education in a supportive learning environment. 'I strongly hope that Petronas will give special consideration to SPM school leavers here by opening the door for them to pursue their studies at UTP soon,' he told a press conference after officiating the Petronas Powering Knowledge: MLNG Bestari Outreach Programme handing over ceremony at SMK Sebuyau yesterday. He emphasised that such opportunities would allow rural students to experience the same educational environment and facilities as their urban counterparts, offering them a fair platform to succeed. 'They just need the space and support. I believe they can succeed and attain excellent results,' he said. Julaihi said with access to higher education, Sarawak could nurture more local engineering talent to serve in Petronas, the state government, or other players in the oil and gas sector including Petroleum Sarawak Berhad (Petros). 'Therefore, I hope Petronas will respond positively and look into expanding higher education access for rural youth in Sarawak.' Meanwhile, he expressed appreciation for Petronas's contribution through its subsidiary, MLNG, to SMK Sebuyau, particularly in upgrading the school's facilities. He said SMK Sebuyau remains one of the older schools in the area and is in urgent need of a complete replacement. 'I've contributed canopies for the school's use, but they're still insufficient given the growing number of students,' he said, adding that assistance was also channelled under the Rural Transformation Programme (RTP) to construct a new community hall. Julaihi revealed that the current student population at SMK Sebuyau has reached 936. 'With such a large number, I'm truly grateful for Petronas MLNG's support. 'Without facility limitations, this school could probably accommodate even more students,' he said. Julaihi Narawi mlng school-leavers Universiti Teknologi Petronas

The contribution was made under the Petronas Powering Knowledge: MLNG Bestari Outreach programme and facilitated the refurbishment of the school's computer lab, Form 5 classroom block and the construction of a new male dormitory. According to Petronas LNG Assets senior vice president Abang Yusuf Abang Puteh, the initiative was not just a Corporate Social Responsibility effort, but a show of their unwavering commitment to rural community development and empowerment. 'We see this effort as a holistic approach that underscores the importance of access to quality education. Education is not only a fundamental right, it is a catalyst for societal progress and transformation,' he said during a handing over ceremony today. The ceremony was officiated by Sarawak Minister of Utility and Telecommunication, Dato Sri Julaihi Narawi. Abang Yusuf said with such support, schools that faced any sort of constraints could now enjoy better facilities and learning resources. 'This initiative acts as a bridge connecting educational institutions, government agencies, the private sector and local communities to build a more sustainable and inclusive learning ecosystem. 'The impact goes beyond academic achievement and contributes to the overall well-being of the community,' he said. The MLNG Bestari Outreach programme has also been extended to other areas including Ulu Roban, Tatau, Sebauh, Betong and Dalat mainly through the provision of learning equipment. Abang Yusuf said that additionally, under the MLNG Borneo Bestari Programme, MLNG was collaborating with Yayasan Sarawak to sponsor 80 Sarawakian students from Form 1 to Form 5 annually to attend residential schools in Peninsula and Sarawak from 2024-2029. 'Our hope is that these sponsored students will excel in their SPM (Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia) exams and become eligible for the Petronas Education Sponsorship Programme, which allows them to further their studies locally and abroad, and ultimately prepare them for employment at Petronas. 'This is our long-term goal — we want to not only support sustainable education but also meet future workforce needs in the oil and gas industry. 'In this regard, I hope that students from Sebuyau will also be among those selected to join the MLNG Borneo Bestari programme as we are confident that children from Sarawak, especially those from rural areas, can keep pace with their peers from major urban centres,' he said.
