NST Leader: Decarbonising Malaysia
November 6, 2020I don’t know how to classify this article, a hybrid of RE and O&G?
Dateline 2020-10-08, NST:
Businesses in Malaysia, like elsewhere, spill much ink in extolling the virtues of going green. Many stop at that.
Just look at the voluminous annual corporate social responsibility reports produced by companies and you learn, very quickly, why environmental degradation happens.
There is something promising happening in Malaysia that may compel companies to put their money where their mouth is, as the saying goes. Called Climate Change and Principles-based Taxonomy (CCPT), it is essentially a means to make transparent climate-related financial disclosures by financial institutions.
A multi-party effort led by Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM), CCPT began to get public attention when BNM issued it as a discussion paper on Dec 27 last year. The idea is older, perhaps as old as the Paris Climate Accord of 2015. Or older.

Govt urged to wind down on coal under new policy
November 2, 2020Dateline 2020-10-02, Malaysian Reserve:
THE Institute for Democracy and Economic Affairs (IDEAS) stated that Malaysiaâs energy policy should seek to replace coal-based power generation with gas and turbo-charged renewable in order to meet pledges to curb climate change.
IDEAS senior fellow Dr Renato Lima de Oliveira (picture) said replacing coal with gas is a low hanging fruit as Malaysia plans its next energy policy.
âBeyond that, Malaysia needs to pivot its strengths in oil and gas (O&G) into renewable and reform the energy framework to further promote the use of renewable,â he said in a statement yesterday on the think tankâs latest report titled âThe Future of Malaysiaâs Energy Mixâ. The paper is co-authored by Mathias Varming.
Lima de Oliveira said Malaysia has made good progress towards reducing emissions and increasing the share of renewable in the countryâs energy mix over the last few years. However, the country needs more ambitious policies to meet its reduced carbon commitment under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in Paris 2015.

South China Sea: does one-on-one mean a one-sided deal for Malaysia?
October 31, 2020Just about fits into the ‘black oil’ category.
Dateline 2020-09-27, SCMP:
When Malaysia agreed last year to one-on-one talks with rival claimant China over the South China Sea, it caught observers by surprise.
While Kuala Lumpur was not the most vocal opponent of Beijingâs claims in the area, it had long been reluctant to engage in such negotiations.
Instead it has sought to chart a course between not antagonising China and quietly pursuing its own plan for oil and gas exploration in the contested waters.It has preferred to leave discussions about jurisdiction over the resource-rich area to regional groupings like the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean), where various countries can work together to have a bigger say.

Itâs not for Bung to say we canât get 20% oil royalty, says Sarawak minister
October 29, 2020Dateline 2020-09-25, FMT:
 A Sarawak minister said Sabah Umno chief Bung Moktar Radin has no say on whether Sabah and Sarawak can get 20% oil royalty from Putrajaya.
