KUALA LUMPUR, March 16 (Bernama) -- The decision whether Malaysia will proceed with its proposal to build two nuclear power plants will be made after the Cabinet has evaluated the paper to be submitted by Malaysia Nuclear Power Corporation.
Energy, Green Technology and Water Minister, Datuk Seri Peter Chin Fah Kui, said whether the proposed plan was on or not, it was not for him to decide.
"It is for the Cabinet to decide. We have to wait for the report to be presented to the Cabinet," he said.
Chin said this to reporters after unveiling the electric bikes by Eclimo Sdn Bhd here Wednesday.
Earlier, in his address, Chin said the adoption and application of green technology was crucial as it was the only way forward for sustainable growth and development.
He said the government strongly felt that green technology has a crucial role to play in being part of the solution to climate changes.
"Green technology is the government's latest proactive action to spur industries and institutions to be eco-technological innovators in the field of eco-designs, eco-materials, eco-products and services as well as low carbon green technologies," he said.
He said his ministry was currently preparing the Electric Vehicles Infrastructure Roadmap and the Fleet Test Vehicles Programme in Putrajaya which would be launched soon.
Chin said talking about 'greening' would not be complete without addressing the energy-efficiency issues.
"Therefore, under the Energy Efficiency Masterplan, the government is looking into the energy efficiency in transportation sector.
"I believe the initiatives undertaken will provide a conducive-enabling environment for the development of electric vehicles in the transport sector, including electric bikes," he said.
