I mean gas-guzzling jet, before you pass this message to us.
At the time when we are still shocked and yet to get used to the high fuel prices, this news in The Star prompted me to post this:
Change the way we use energy, urges PM
PUTRAJAYA: The effects of greenhouse gases coupled with the recent increase in global fuel prices should bring about a new structural change in the way Malaysians use energy.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said the private sector should not merely celebrate World Environment Day by merely planting trees or other such activities.
"These programmes should be coupled with new initiatives based on technology and innovation. Private companies - together with the cooperation of other government agencies - should focus their attention on developing technology that is more efficient in the usage of resources and renewable energy such as solar, wind and waves.
"Besides 'greening' our economy, such technology will lead to other business opportunities and new jobs as well as creating new industries," he said Thursday in his speech at the Langkawi Awards for sustainable cities here.
His speech was read out by his wife Datin Seri Jeanne Abdullah.
Just for comparison, I think the message if given by Nik Aziz or Lim Guan Eng would have been more palatable.
Who is to know where the savings from fuel subsidies go to?
Hi Ko Song Cafe
ReplyDeleteGreeting s from Beijing Man x funny most time unable to read yr blog but today x take care
Hi Big Foot.
ReplyDeleteNice to hear from you. Been to Lenggong where Perak Man was found and excavated. The site is now a Museum with good audio visual facilities but under-used.
Lenggong (not bengong) folks include Tajol Rosli, Nazri, Ka Ting and Ka Chuan.
For fresh water fish, people have graduated from Sauk to Ayer Kala (past Lenggong), thanks to the nice highway linking to East-West Highway. Now, with the high fuel price, this is indeed a luxury.
Take care.
