Canopy 3 & 5: Malaysia 2030
The journey will venture into Malaysia’s future directions that
are focused on Science, Technology and Innovation that will
drive the sustainable development of the country. The room
will be surrounded with LED columns with mirror, creating a
unique infinity reflection.
Canopy 4: Re-energising the future
Net Zero Carbon will be the key message in this signature
canopy. It tells the story of the national petroleum company
Petronas and its ambitious transitional plan to achieve
net-zero carbon emissions in its operation by 2050. This is
the largest canopy with a high ceiling, where a large LED
Cube will be hung from the ceiling to the floor bursting with
mesmerising visuals.
➢ The Second Floor – The White Room Concept
Canopy 6: Smart City
From the black room to a white room concept, this change
of environment provides a different experience for visitors.
The exhibition will put a spotlight on Malaysia’s sustainable
lifestyle and technology, and the country’s aspiration in joining
the ranks of smart cities of the region.
Canopy 7: Smart Network
The final canopy will showcase Malaysia’s green and future
technologies optimising on the use of 5G technology in the
country. Visitors will be able to enjoy the specially crafted
content on a feature wall.
AMPHITHEATRE
The Pavilion will also have its own amphitheatre, with daily
cultural shows, craft demonstrations, special screenings and
events.
CAFÉ AND RETAIL
To complete the experience at the Malaysia Pavilion, there will
be a café to promote Malaysian cuisines to the world, and a retail
kiosk packed with crafts and souvenirs for visitors to take home.
NET ZERO CARBON PAVILION
Being the first net zero carbon fixture at Expo 2020 Dubai, the
Malaysia Pavilion will have the distinctive opportunity to link its
sustainability feature to the implementation of sustainability
practices under the Sustainable Forest Management (SFM)
system adopted back home in the Malaysia forests. This action
aims to ensure Malaysia’s participation at the world expo does
not leave behind any carbon footprint, and to inspire others as
well to take sustainable actions because a small step can have a
big and consequential impact on our future.
The roof of the Malaysia Pavilion will be installed with
40 pieces of 100m 2 photovoltaic (PV) panels; total PV array
outputs during the expo period are at 12,000 kWh. The solar
energy feature contributes to 10% of the Pavilion’s energy
requirement. Other energy-efficient elements include LED
lightings, heli fans, natural lighting, self-shading, green
landscaping with vertical gardens and water harvesting
features.
For Expo 2020 Dubai, Malaysia Pavilion’s
#MyButterflyEffect Brand Campaign is a holistic concept to
encourage and inspire people to empower themselves towards
new thinking, new actions and new outcomes for sustainable
development. It is premised on the belief that a small positive
change can result in impactful desirable outcomes. To give
flight to the campaign, several activities will be organised at
the Pavilion to encourage visitors to make small adjustments
towards a more socially conscious and sustainable lifestyle,
showing them how each change can collectively contribute to a
much bigger result.
