MELAKA – The state government, through the Melaka Green Technology Corporation (PTHM), will intensify development of green culture through various programmes towards becoming a sustainable state.
State Education, Technology and Telecommunications Committee chairman Datuk Rais Yasin said one of the efforts is the installation of solar panels at mosques.
“The use of renewable energy sources through solar panels has also been carried out at several government buildings, and we hope this can be widened to privately owned buildings and housing through the Net Energy Metering scheme,” he told reporters at the presentation of the Melaka Green Award 2022 last night.
The event was also attended by PTHM chief executive officer Datuk Abu Bakar Mohd Diah.
Rais said at the grassroots level, the Melaka Eco-Schools Programme has been introduced and implemented in 131 schools.
The state government, he said, is aiming for 100 schools to receive Green Flag recognition under the programme by 2035. – Bernama, December 10, 2022
