Mesej dari PresidenMessage from the PresidentTan Sri Dr Ahmad Tajuddin Ali FASc.Presiden, Akademi Sains MalaysiaPresident, Academy of Sciences MalaysiaTahun 2011 pasti tercatat dalam lipatan sejarahsebagai tahun yang menyaksikan pelbagaiketidaktentuan di dunia. Bencana nuklear Fukushima,contohnya, mencetuskan lebih banyakkeraguan mengenai bahan api nuklear sebagaisumber tenaga yang berpotensi bagi dunia.Banyak negara sudah berundur daripadaagenda nuklear mereka. Kebuntuan ekonomi diKesatuan Eropah (EU) yang timbul daripada krisishutang yang meruncing di Greece adalah satulagi tamparan kepada ekonomi dunia keranadunia masih bergelut untuk pulih daripada krisiskewangan global yang bermula pada tahun2008. Kejatuhan ekonomi yang melanda Greecemenunjukkan tanda merebak ke negara anggotaEU yang lain seperti Ireland dan Portugal. Malah,terdapat perbincangan mengenai rombakankeseluruhan EU. Mujurlah, ekonomi dunia masihbernasib baik; Amerika Syarikat yang sudahbeberapa tahun mencuri tumpuan dunia keranakemelesetan ekonominya sudah menunjukkantanda pemulihan walaupun lemah. Sekiranyabukan kerana pencapaian kukuh negara gergasiAsia, terutamanya China dan India, penganalisisekonomi percaya ekonomi dunia sudah pastinyamenuju ke ambang kiamat ekonomi. Ramai kinimelihat Asia sebagai kuasa ekonomi dunia padatahun mendatang.2011 must surely go down in history as a year whenthere were many uncertainties in the world. TheFukushima nuclear disaster, for example, createdmore doubts on nuclear fuel as a potentialenergy source for the world. Many countrieshave backtracked on their nuclear agenda. Theeconomic stalemate in the European Union (EU)arising from the troubling debt crisis in Greece wasanother blow to the world economy as it struggledto recover from the financial setback of 2008. TheGreek debacle was showing signs of spreadingto other EU member countries such as Irelandand Portugal. There were even discussions aboutdismantling the entire EU. Fortunately for the worldeconomy; the USA, which has for a number ofyears been hogging the limelight for its economicmalaise, was showing signs of recovery albeitweak. If not for the robust performance of theAsian giants, principally China and India, analystsagree that the world economy would have gonethe path of an economic Armageddon. Manynow see Asia as the economic powerhouse of theworld in the coming years.Annual Report 2011 1master2.indd 127/4/2012 11:25:05 AM

Mesej dari PresidenMessage from the PresidentGelombang kebangkitan yang berlaku di TimurTengah, digelar “Musim Bunga Arab”, langsungtidak membantu pemulihan ekonomi dunia. Sebagaiwilayah yang membekalkan sebahagian besarpermintaan minyak dan gas dunia, ketegangansebegitu membimbangkan kerana ia bolehmenyumbang kepada pergerakan yang tidakdiingini dalam harga minyak global. Keadaanekonomi Barat yang lembab turut memberi kesankepada Malaysia terutamanya daripada segipermintaan eksport yang menurun di beberapapasaran utama Barat. Walau bagaimanapun,kesan daripada permintaan domestik yang kukuh,negara berjaya menunjukkan pertumbuhanekonomi meyakinkan lebih daripada 5% pada tahunini. Tetapi, yang menjadi persoalan, berapalamakah pertumbuhan ekonomi negara dapatdikekalkan dengan pelbagai krisis yang berterusanmenimpa dunia? Bolehkah sains dan teknologimenyumbang kepada kelestarian pertumbuhanMalaysia pada masa hadapan?Perubahan IklimTidak dinafikan pelbagai krisis berlaku di peringkatglobal pada dekad yang lalu. Krisis iklim yang dipercayaibenar oleh saintis masih belum menunjukkantanda surut. Dunia masih belum mencapaikata sepakat mengenai langkah pengurangan.Ancaman terhadap biodiversiti sebagai kesanperubahan iklim kekal menjadi kebimbangandunia. Keselamatan bahan api dan tenaga,ketersediaan makanan dan kelestarian air adalahantara cabaran yang menuntut penyelesaianberkekalan dan boleh dipercayai. Kita bolehmenambah senarai ini dengan ketidakstabilanberterusan dalam sistem kewangan dan pencapaiansuram ekonomi global secara menyeluruh.Tidak hairanlah ramai yang tidak optimis tentangmasa hadapan.Pada tahun ini, ASM menganjurkan beberapasesi dialog untuk membincangkan penyelesaianyang mungkin dalam menangani isu tersebutbagi negara. Prosiding bagi beberapa wacanaini diterbitkan dan diedarkan untuk penggunaanawam. Monograf berkaitan perubahan iklimtermasuk: pengurangan risiko bencana; senarioperubahan iklim; impak kesihatan; cabaran bagipertanian dan keselamatan makanan; angkasa;kelestarian perhutanan; R&D dan isu dasar.ASM juga bekerjasama dengan ICSU dalampenganjuran Bengkel Rio+20 untuk mengumpulinput kebangsaan bagi sidang kemuncak itu.Masyarakat dunia bersetuju bahawa mempercepatkanpelepasan gas rumah hijau tidakmemberi kesan baik kepada dunia. Ancamankepada iklim global berpotensi membahayakanThe social flare-ups in the Middle East, dubbedthe “Arab Spring”, were of no help to the globaleconomy. Being a region which supplies the bulkof the world’s oil and gas demands, such tensionwas worrying given the fact that it could contributeto unwanted movement in global oil prices. Theeconomic slumber in the West did affect Malaysiato some extent especially in terms of decliningexport demand in some major Western markets.However, thanks to robust domestic demand, thenation managed to show a credible economicgrowth of more than 5% for the year. But, thequestions before us are, for how long will thecountry’s growth be sustained in the face of themany crises that continue to confront the world?Can science and technology contribute towardssustaining Malaysia’s growth going into thefuture?Climate ChangeThere is no denying that numerous crises at theglobal level have sprung up during the last decade.The climate crisis, which scientists believeis for real, has yet to show signs of abating. Theworld has yet to agree on mitigation measures.Threats to biodiversity, as a consequence of climatechange, remain a growing concern for theworld. Fuel and energy security, food availabilityand water sustainability are the other challengesbegging for lasting and credible solutions. Wecan add to the list the continuing instability in thefinancial system and the lacklustre performanceof the global economy as a whole. It is no wonderthat many are not optimistic about the future.During the year, ASM anchored a number ofengaging dialogues to deliberate on possiblesolutions to such issues for the nation. Theproceedings of some of these discourses havebeen published and disseminated for publicconsumption. Monographs related to climatechange include: disaster risk reduction; climatechange scenarios; health impacts; challengesfor agriculture and food security; space;sustainable forestry, R&D and policy issues. ASMalso co-operated with ICSU to organise the Rio+20Workshop in order to garner national input for thesummit.There is agreement worldwide that acceleratinggreenhouse gas emissions do not augur well forthe world. The threat to the global climate canbe potentially disastrous for mankind. A major2Laporan Tahunan 2011master2.indd 227/4/2012 11:25:08 AM

Mesej dari PresidenMessage from the Presidentmanusia sejagat. Penyumbang utama terletakpada penguasaan penggunaan bahan api fosiluntuk memenuhi permintaan tenaga dunia. Tahun2011 menyaksikan R&D yang aktif di pelbagaipusat kecemerlangan saintifik di dunia. Pencarianalternatif, terutamanya pembangunan tenagaboleh diperbaharui, menjadi keutamaan pentingbagi kebanyakan negara. Laporan oleh ProgramAlam Sekitar Pertubuhan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatumenyatakan pelaburan global dalam tenagahijau meningkat hampir satu pertiga mencecahUSD211 bilion pada tahun 2010. Ladang angindi China dan panel suria bumbung berskalakecil di Eropah banyak menyumbang kepadapeningkatan pelaburan itu. Tenaga solar skalakecil di Eropah meningkat disebabkan oleh tarifgalakan, terutamanya di Jerman, ditambahdengan kejatuhan mendadak dalam kos modulfotovolta serta keputusan Kerajaan Jerman untukmengurangkan penggunaaan tenaga nuklearsebagai sumber tenaga elektrik.Kejutan harga bahan api pada tahun 2008, dankenaikan berkaitan harga makanan dan komoditi,kedua-duanya menandakan kelemahan strukturdan risiko dalam pasaran dunia yang masih belumselesai. Terdapat peningkatan permintaan bahanapi, seperti yang diramalkan oleh Agensi TenagaAntarabangsa dan lain-lain, serta melaporkan“kebergantungan berterusan kepada minyak danbahan api fosil lain dan harga tenaga yang lebihtinggi pada masa akan datang”, tatkala ekonomidunia bergelut untuk pulih dan berkembang.Tidak dinafikan perubahan iklim merupakan salahsatu cabaran hebat pada abad ke-21. Ia adalahancaman sebenar dan semakin berkembang.Kesannya sudah dapat dirasakan di seluruh dunia.Ini dapat dilihat menerusi peningkatan frekuensidan intensiti keadaan cuaca ekstrem sepertigelombang panas, kemarau teruk, banjir yangmengakibatkan kemusnahan luar biasa dan siklontropika dalam beberapa dekad kebelakanganini. Perubahan iklim juga memburukkan lagikekurangan bekalan air, mengekang pengeluaranpertanian dan mengancam keselamatanmakanan. Ia juga menyebabkan kebakaranhutan, degradasi pantai serta meningkatkan risikokesihatan. Maka, perubahan iklim kemungkinanbesar akan menjejaskan usaha dunia dalammewujudkan pembangunan lestari melainkantindakan segera diambil untuk mengurangkantahap pelepasan gas rumah hijau.Malaysia sebagai sebahagian daripada masyarakatglobal tidak kebal kepada perubahaniklim; lebih-lebih lagi dengan garis pantai yangpanjang, penumpuan penduduk dan aktivitiekonomi yang tinggi di kawasan pantai; dankebergantungan yang tinggi pada pertanian,sumber asli dan perhutanan. Langkah adaptifseperti penyimpanan dan pemuliharaan air,contributor lies in the dominating use of fossilfuels to satisfy the world’s demand for energy.2011 witnessed active R&D in many centres ofscientific excellence in the world. The searchfor alternatives, especially the development ofrenewable energy, was of high priority in manycountries. It has been reported by the UnitedNations Environment Programme that globalinvestments in green energy were up by nearly athird to reach USD211 billion in 2010. Wind farmsin China and small-scale solar panels on rooftopsin Europe were largely responsible for the rise ininvestments. Europe’s small-scale solar energyboom owed much to feed-in tariffs, particularly inGermany, combined with a sharp fall in the costof photovoltaic modules as well as on the GermanGovernment’s decision to scale back on nuclearpower as a source of electrical energy.The fuel price shock of 2008, and a related flareup in food and commodity prices, both indicatestructural weaknesses and risks in the world marketwhich still remain unresolved. There is a risingdemand for fuel, as forecasted by the InternationalEnergy Agency and others. They had reported “anon-going dependence on oil and other fossil fueland much higher energy prices to come”, as theworld economy struggles to recover and grow.Climate change is undoubtedly one of thegreatest challenges of the 21st century. It is a realand growing threat. Its impacts have alreadybeen felt worldwide. This is reflected by theincreasing frequency and intensity of extremeweather conditions such as heat waves, chronicdrought, unusually devastating floods and tropicalcyclones in recent decades. Climate change isalso exacerbating water shortages, constrainingagricultural production and threatening foodsecurity. It is also causing forest fires, coastaldegradation as well as increasing health risks. Thus,climate change is likely to affect the world’s questfor sustainable development unless action is takensoon to reduce the levels of greenhouse gases.Malaysia being part of the global community isnot immune to climate change; more so with herlong coastlines, high concentration of populationand economic activity in coastal areas; andheavy reliance on agriculture, natural resources,and forestry.

Perbincangan tertumpukepada langkah mitigasi dan penyesuaiansebagai tindak balas kepada perubahan iklim.Laporan mengenai perubahan iklim dan air jugadihasilkan pada tahun ini. Kajian Rangka KerjaSains Mega bagi Pembangunan KebangsaanBerterusan (2010–2050), dimulakan untukmengenal pasti peluang S&T serta menyediakancadangan mengenai sub-sektor yang perlu diberifokus oleh Malaysia, menyediakan penilaianmasa hadapan beberapa sektor utama negara,juga menyentuh impak pola cuaca ekstremyang memberi kesan kepada beberapasektor. Empat laporan mengenai air, tenaga,kesihatan dan pertanian yang dihantar kepadakerajaan pada tahun ini termasuk perbincanganmengenai implikasi perubahan iklim terhadapsektor itu. Ekspedisi saintifik yang dijalankan olehFelo ASM di beberapa lokasi bio-pelbagai didalam negara melaporkan beberapa penilaiankualitatif mengenai impak perubahan iklimterhadap landskap dan geologi, flora danfauna, hidupan akuatik, eko-pelancongan danmasyarakat tempatan. Walau bagaimanapun,masih jelas banyak usaha perlu dilakukan bagimembangunkan penyelesaian berdaya majuuntuk memerangi impak berpotensi perubahaniklim kepada sumber negara.Keselamatan MakananKeselamatan Makanan terus menjadi isu yangmembimbangkan dunia. Kebetulan, AnugerahSains Mahathir 2011 oleh ASM yang diberikankepada penyelidik cemerlang yang berjayamembuat penemuan saintifik yang diiktiraf diperingkat antarabangsa dalam sektor pertaniantropika, dianugerahkan kepada Prof YuanLongPing, “Bapa beras hibrid”. Usaha beliaubukan sahaja mengubah China daripada sebuahnegara yang kekurangan bekalan makananmenjadi negara yang mencukupi bekalanmakanannya dalam masa tiga dekad, malahteknik beras hibrid beliau juga dikomersilkan diseluruh Asia, Afrika dan Amerika.Dengan unjuran peningkatan populasi dunia,pakar meramalkan populasi dunia akanmencecah 9 bilion pada tahun 2050, makavarieties that can withstand extreme weather,planting more drought tolerant forest species thatare efficient in carbon sequestration, having anefficient public health system and an effectiveplanning protocol in development projects thatminimise the impacts of climate change are keystrategies that require detailed evaluation.ASM in 2011 undertook a number of scientificdiscourses to deliberate on the impact of climatechange on Malaysia’s socio-economic well-being.Discussions centred on mitigation and adaptationmeasures as responses to climate change. A reporton climate change and water was producedduring the year. The Mega Science FrameworkStudy on Sustained National Development (2010–2050) was initiated to identify S&T opportunitiesas well as providing recommendations on whichsub-sectors for Malaysia to focus. It provides anassessment of the future of some key sectors of thecountry, also touching on the impact of extremeweather patterns impacting some sectors. The fourreports on water, energy, health and agriculturewhich were submitted to the government duringthe year included discussions on the implicationsof climate change on the sectors. Scientificexpeditions undertaken by ASM Fellows to somebio-diverse locations in the country have reportedsome qualitative assessment on the impacts ofclimate change on landscape and geology,flora and fauna, aquatic life, eco-tourism and thelocal community. However, it is clear more workis needed to develop viable solutions to combatthe potential impact of climate change on thecountry’s resources.Food SecurityFood Security continues to be an issue of concernto the world. Coincidently, the Academy’s2011 Mahathir Science Award, which is givento outstanding researchers who have madeinternationally recognised scientific breakthroughsin tropical agriculture, was bestowed on Prof YuanLongPing, the “Father of hybrid rice”. His efforts notonly transformed China from a food deficiencycountry to that of a food sufficient nation withinthree decades, but also his techniques for hybridrice have been commercialised throughout Asia,Africa and the Americas.With the projected increase in world population,which experts predict will touch 9 billion in 2050,6Laporan Tahunan 2011master2.indd 627/4/2012 11:25:27 AM

Pertubuhan Kesihatan Sedunia (WHO)mentakrifkan keselamatan makanan sebagai“apabila semua orang pada setiap masamendapat akses makanan yang mencukupi,selamat, berkhasiat bagi mengekalkan kehidupanyang sihat dan aktif”. Pemahaman globalmengenai masalah keselamatan makanansangat diperlukan meskipun wujud keperluanmendesak bagi penyelesaian kerjasama untukmenampung keperluan makanan kepadapopulasi dunia yang semakin meningkat.Berpandukan desakan ini, tiga komponen utamakeselamatan makanan dikenal pasti. Komponenini adalah (a) Ketersediaan makanan―di manakuantiti makanan yang mencukupi tersediasecara konsisten; (b) Akses makanan―termasukmempunyai sumber yang mencukupi untukmendapatkan makanan bersesuaian bagi dietberkhasiat; dan (c) Kegunaan makanan―dimana penggunaan makanan yang bersesuaianberdasarkan pengetahuan tentang nutrisi danpenjagaan asas, serta air yang mencukupi dansanitasi.Keselamatan makanan di Malaysia sering kalimenjadi isu yang kontroversi. Wujud keperluanuntuk menghasilkan makanan mencukupi bagimenampung populasi yang semakin meningkatdan pengurangan tanah pertanian. Selainmaking food available to all will be a majorchallenge. The World Health Organisation (WHO)has defined food security as “when all people atall times have access to sufficient, safe, nutritiousfood to maintain a healthy and active life”. Aglobal understanding on the problems of foodsecurity is urgently required albeit the need forcollaborative solutions to feed the exploding worldpopulation. Guided by this urgency, the threecore components of food security have beenidentified. These are (a) Food availability―wheresufficient quantities of food are available on aconsistent basis; (b) Food access―include havingsufficient resources to obtain appropriate foodfor a nutritious diet; and (c) Food use―whereappropriate use based on knowledge of basicnutrition and care, as well as adequate water andsanitation.Food security for Malaysia is always a contentiousissue. On one hand is the need to produce sufficientfood to feed its growing population and decliningarable land, while on the other hand is the higherAnnual Report 2011 7master2.indd 727/4/2012 11:25:30 AM

Keseimbangan sangat diperlukan.Malahan, keselamatan makanan bukan setakatmenghasilkan beras mencukupi (penggunaanper kapita akan menurun apabila negara menjadilebih maju), tetapi juga meliputi keperluan bagisumber protein, vitamin dan mineral, dan seratpemakanan yang mencukupi untuk memastikandiet yang sihat dan seimbang. Masalah kesihatanberkaitan makanan pada abad ke-21 termasukobesiti, diabetes, hipertensi dan penyakit kardiovaskularkini menjadi satu cabaran bagi negara.Oleh itu, ASM juga meneroka kemungkinanperkongsian dengan Wellcome Trust, UK untukmemudahkan penyelidikan dalam bidang ini.Jawatankuasa Pertanian ASM telah menganjurkanpelbagai perbincangan bertujuan memberikaninput berwawasan kepada negara. Laporan kajianSains Mega mengenai pertanian mencadangkanbeberapa strategi pembangunan untukmenambah baik keselamatan makanan negara.Ini memfokuskan kepada penambahbaikantahap mampu diri barang makanan kritikalterpilih melalui penggunaan teknologi sedia adadan bersesuaian, menghapuskan kekanganpemindahan teknologi dan melaksanakan pelantindakan untuk mengubah pertanian. Sebagailangkah ke hadapan laporan itu berkongsireturn from the land if used for the production ofnon-food crops as well as for industry. A balance isundoubtedly needed. Furthermore, food securityis not about just producing enough rice (the percapita consumption of which will decrease as thenation becomes more developed), but also coversthe need for sufficient sources of protein, vitaminsand minerals, and dietary fibre to ensure a healthyand balanced diet. Food related health problemsof the 21st century including obesity, diabetes,hypertension and cardio–vascular diseases havebecome a challenge for the country. As such,ASM is also exploring the possibility of partnershipwith the Wellcome Trust, UK to facilitate researchin this area.The ASM Agriculture Committee had anchoredmany discussions aimed at providing insightfulinputs to the country. The Mega Science studyreport on agriculture has recommended somedevelopment strategies to improve the nation’sfood security. These focussed on improving selfsufficiencylevels of selected critical food itemsthrough the adoption of available and appropriatetechnologies, removing the constraints of technologytransfer and pursuing action plans totransform agriculture.

Selain had tanah, kebimbangan utamadalam bidang pertanian berkaitan denganketersediaan air berterusan yang menjadi bahanpenting dalam pertumbuhan tanaman.Masa Hadapan AirKekurangan air tawar sudah menjadi masalahglobal. Ramalan mencadangkan jurang yangsemakin meningkat menjelang tahun 2040 antarapermintaan air tawar tahunan dan bekalan bolehdiperbaharui. Situasi ini akan menjadi bertambahburuk dengan peningkatan permintaanmakanan dan perubahan iklim yang semakinketara. Begitu juga, harapan untuk sanitasi yanglebih baik kelihatan suram bagi lebih daripada2.5 bilion orang. Lebih daripada 884 juta orangmasih kekurangan akses untuk mendapatkanair minuman bersih (World Water DevelopmentReport 2012). Secara kolektif, krisis ini memberiimpak yang teruk kepada keupayaan kita untukmengekalkan kemakmuran di seluruh dunia danmencapai Matlamat Pem-bangunan Milenium(MDGs) yang bertujuan mengurangkan kadarkemiskinan ekstrem di dunia. Sekali lagi, ramaiyang percaya penyelesaiannya wujud dalamsains dan teknologi, khususnya pembangunansistem penyahmasinan berdaya maju.Malaysia mempunyai sumber air yang amatbanyak. Min air larian tahunan sebanyak 566bilion meter padu dan 64 bilion m³ imbuhan airtanah diterjemahkan kepada ketersediaan airkasar purata tahunan sebanyak 28,000 m³ perkapita. Jumlah penggunaan air di Malaysiapada masa ini adalah kira-kira 12.5 bilion m³/setahun ataupun kurang daripada 3% air lariansedia ada (Mega Science Framework StudyWater Report 2010). Memandangkan bekalanair begitu banyak, keselamatan air di Malaysialebih menjurus kepada pengekalan ataupunpeningkatan kuantiti, kualiti dan aspek kesihatansumber air, serta meningkatkan penggunaan airyang efisien.Kajian Rangka Kerja Sains Mega ASM mengenaiSektor Air memberi cadangan untuk menguasaipeluang masa hadapan dalam bidang STI bagiair dan mengguna pakai teknologi bersesuaianyang boleh meningkatkan lagi keselamatan air diMalaysia. Jawatankuasa Air ASM menganjurkanKolokium Tasik Kebangsaan pada tahun 2007shared some insights into new ideas on urbanagriculture including the deployment of high riseconcrete structures to grow food crops. Apart fromland limitations, a major concern in agriculturerelates to the continued availability of water whichis a key ingredient in plant growth.Water FuturesFreshwater scarcity is already a global problem.Forecasts have suggested a growing gap by 2040between annual freshwater demand and renewablesupply. The situation will worsen as food demandrises and climate change intensifies. Similarly,the outlook for improved sanitation looks bleakfor over 2.5 billion people. More than 884 millionpeople still lack access to clean drinking water(World Water Development Report 2012). Collectively,these crises are severely impacting our abilityto sustain prosperity worldwide and to achievethe Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) whichaim to reduce the incidence of extreme povertyin the world. Again, many believe the solutions liein science and technology, especially the developmentof viable desalination systems.Malaysia has abundant water resources. Theannual mean runoff of 566 billion m³ and 64 billionm³ of ground water recharge translate into anannual average gross water availability of 28,000m³ per capita. The present total water consumptionin Malaysia is about 12.5 billion m³/year or lessthan 3% of the available runoff (Mega ScienceFramework Study Water Report 2010). Owingto such abundance of supply, water security inMalaysia is concerned more with maintaining orimproving the quantity, quality and health aspectsof water resources, as well as increasing efficiencyof use.ASM’s Mega Science Framework Study on the WaterSector has come up with recommendations tocapture future opportunities in STI for water and toadopt appropriate technologies which can furtherenhance Malaysia’s water security.

Sumber boleh diperbaharuiyang terdapat di Malaysia adalah biojisim, suria,kuasa mini hidro, sisa perbandaran dan biogas.Kini, tenaga geoterma sedang dibangunkan diTawau, Sabah, untuk menyediakan bekalan elektrikke kawasan bandar. Hampir 60% dari Malaysiadidominasi oleh hutan dan 15% lagi dikongsioleh penanaman pertanian yang disokong olehcahaya matahari yang banyak dan pemendakanyang diperlukan untuk pertumbuhan tanamanyang pantas. Oleh itu, terdapat potensi yangbesar untuk pembangunan biojisim dan tenagasuria. Sebagai contoh, tenaga suria bukan sahajamerangkumi penukaran fotovolta kepada elektrik,tetapi juga pemanasan suria dan penghawadingin secara langsung, manakala biojisimmerangkumi pembakaran langsung tumbuhansebagai bahan api bio dan biogas. RE di Malaysiadiberi suntikan perangsang dengan pelaksanaanSkim Tarif Galakan (FIT), di mana seseorang individuboleh menjual tenaga yang dijana kepadasyarikat utiliti pada kadar premium tetap untukjangka masa tertentu. Ini adalah selaras dengandasar untuk mengurangkan keperluan loji kuasabahan api fosil tambahan dan pada masa yangsama mengurangkan pelepasan karbon.conservation and efficiency, fossil fuel switching,renewable energy, nuclear, carbon capture andstorage.Malaysia has abundant hydro, solar andbiomass with wind potential in the coastal areasand islands. Renewable resources available inMalaysia are biomass, solar, mini-hydro power,municipal waste and biogas. Geothermal energyis now being developed in Tawau, Sabah, toprovide electricity to the township. Almost 60% ofMalaysia is dominated by forest and 15% is sharedby agricultural cultivation backed by abundantsunshine and precipitation for rapid plant growth Assuch, there is great potential for the developmentof biomass and solar energy. For example, solarenergy not only includes photovoltaic conversionto electricity, but also direct solar heating andair-condition, while biomass includes directcombustion of plant matter as biofuel andbiogas. RE in Malaysia is given a boost with theimplementation of the Feed-in-Tariff (FIT) scheme,where individuals can sell the power generatedto utilities companies at a fixed premium ratefor specific period. This is keeping in line with thepolicy to minimise the need of additional fossilfuel power plants and at the same time reducingcarbon emissions.(Sumber|Source: Schofield N 2011, ‘What does the future look like?

AmalanEE dapat diibaratkan sebagai “buah yangbergayut di dahan rendah” di mana hanyapelaburan sedikit diperlukan untuk memperolehmanfaat yang besar. Langkah EE juga termasukpenggunaan motor berkecekapan tinggi,penebat premis dingin udara yang mencukupi,penggantian penyejuk penyaman udara lamadengan penyejuk EE, penggunaan peti sejukEE dan langkah penjimatan tenaga dalamkemudahan Kerajaan.Komunikasi SainsTransmisi sains, teknologi dan inovasi merentasisempadan negara sedang berkembang dandimanifestasikan sebagai kemajuan dalamteknologi maklumat dan komunikasi. Setiap negaramempunyai kapasiti berbeza dalam penggunaanpeluang yang dicipta melalui kemajuan saintifikdan teknologi, dan perkembangan ekonominegara itu dan daya saingnya tidak dinafikanditentukan bukan sahaja dengan cara merekamengurus dan menghayati pengetahuan danteknologi itu, tetapi juga bagaimana merekamemindahkannya menjadi tindakan. Ini memberipetanda perlunya komunikasi sains yang efektifmerentasi pelbagai suasana sosial dan platformmedia. Cabaran sebenar adalah memahamibagaimana untuk menggunakan komunikasiuntuk menaja dialog, menggalakkan perbezaanperspektif, memudahkan penyertaan awam,mencapai kata sepakat dan belajar daripadaperselisihan pendapat untuk menyampaikanmesej sains dan teknologi.ASM telah menjalankan pelbagai programkomunikasi sains yang melibatkan sektormasyarakat yang berbeza dalam usaha untukmeningkatkan pemahaman awam mengenaisains dan teknologi dan antara program itutermasuk siri syarahan ASM seperti Syarahan TokohTerkemuka ASM, syarahan umum dan jalinansains dengan sekolah melalui National ScienceChallenge serta Program Kembali ke SekolahASM.Pada tahun 2010, menurut sistem pemantauanberita Meltwater, ASM telah dipaparkan sebanyak111 kali dalam media cetak dan elektronikberbanding 181 kali pada tahun 2011. Denganini, keterampilan ASM meningkat sebanyak 64%.Ini menandakan bahawa maklumat berkenaanASM through its Energy Committee had beenproviding insightful inputs to the respectiveauthorities on improving RE up-take as well as thepractice of energy efficiency (EE). The practiseof EE is likened to “low hanging fruits” where littleinvestments is required for the fairly substantialbenefits. EE measures also included the use ofhigh efficiency motors, adequate insulation of airconditioned premises, replacement of old A/Cchillers with EE chillers, use of EE refrigerators andenergy saving measures in Government facilities.Science CommunicationThe transmission of science, technology andinnovation across national borders is growing andis manifested by advances in the information andcommunication technology. Countries differ intheir capacities to capitalise on the opportunitiescreated through scientific and technological advancements,and their economic progress andcompetitiveness will no doubt be determined notonly by how well they manage and embrace suchknowledge and technologies, but also by how wellthey are able to transmit them into actions. This callsfor effective science communication across a diversityof social settings and media platform. Thechallenge here is to understand how to use communicationto sponsor dialogue, invite differingperspectives, facilitate public participation, reachconsensus and learn from disagreement to putacross the message of science and technology.ASM had undertaken various science communicationprogramme to engage the differentsectors of society in trying to improve publicunderstanding of science and technology. Amongthe programme included the ASM lecture seriessuch as the ASM Eminent Persons’ Lectures, publiclectures, and science engagement with schoolsthrough the National Science Challenge as wellas the ASM Back to School Programme.In 2010, according to the Meltwater newsmonitoring system, ASM was featured 111 timesin the print and electronic media compared to181 times for 2011.
