Abang Jo says Sarawak to co-develop Kalimantan hydropower plan as Indonesia shifts capital
He said the collaboration was formalised during his official working visit to Jakarta on Tuesday, where he accompanied Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim for the 13th Malaysia-Indonesia Annual Consultation.
Highlighting the significance of the cross-border cooperation, Abang Johari stressed the need for Sarawakian engineers to work closely with their Indonesian counterparts.
'Sarawak needs more engineers there to collaborate with engineers from Indonesia. This means we will be working beyond Sarawak's borders,' he said during the launch of the Special Financial Aid (BKK) for Sarawakian tertiary students in Kuala Lumpur today.
He also revealed that Japanese firm Sumitomo has expressed strong interest in participating in Sarawak's hydrogen energy industry.
According to him, this reflects Sarawak's growing prominence in strategic green energy sectors.
He called on Sarawakian youths to prepare for global opportunities in the emerging green economy, particularly in areas such as renewable energy and hydrogen. — The Borneo Post

13MP: Pan Borneo, SSLR, Trans Borneo Highway completion top priority, says Works Minister
In a statement today, Nanta says this aligns with the federal government's push for equitable development across all regions. – Bernama photo KUCHING (Aug 2): The Works Ministry is prioritising the completion of the Pan Borneo Highway, Sarawak–Sabah Link Road (SSLR), and Trans Borneo Highway as key infrastructure projects under the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP), assures Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi. In a statement today, Nanta said this aligns with the federal government's push for equitable development across all regions. 'The ministry is committed to completing the Pan Borneo Highway Project in Sabah and Sarawak within the 13MP period, in addition to continuing the construction of the Sarawak-Sabah Link Road (SSLR) and the Trans Borneo Highway as the main drivers of Borneo integration,' he said in response to the 13MP tabled by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim at the Parliament on July 31. The SSLR will provide a direct land connection between Sarawak and Sabah without passing through Brunei, while the Trans Borneo Highway will link Malaysia to Kalimantan, boosting cross-border trade and tourism. Nanta also revealed plans to expand rural road networks nationwide, targeting 2,800km of roads by 2030 – up from 2,436km in 2024. These include road upgrades in Felda and Felcra settlements, along with improvements in drainage, utilities, and other rural infrastructure. In Peninsular Malaysia, the ministry will continue upgrading the North–South Expressway (PLUS), including widening sections from Juru to Sungai Dua in Penang, and from Senai Utara to Machap in Johor, to support the Northern and Southern Corridors. Nanta added that completing the Lingkaran Tengah Utama (LTU) from Bentong to Kuala Krai remains a priority to drive development in the East Coast. To strengthen border connectivity, the ministry will upgrade the Rantau Panjang–Sungai Golok Bridge linking Kelantan and Thailand, and the Kalabakan–Simanggaris route connecting Sabah with Indonesia, he added. Nanta said the Works Ministry is embracing modern construction technologies such as Building Information Modelling (BIM) and the Industrialised Building System (IBS) to boost project efficiency, quality, and cost-effectiveness. Road safety will also be enhanced through smart infrastructure solutions, he said, including traffic lights, street lighting, and speed monitoring systems. In line with Malaysia's target of achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050, Nanta said his ministry will promote the use of eco-friendly building materials and low-carbon infrastructure solutions. 'The 13MP is not just about building roads, bridges and buildings. It is actually building the people's hope and confidence in the country's future. 'This is infrastructure for all that is fair, equitable and brings long-term benefits to all Malaysians, both in urban and rural areas,' he said. alexander nanta linggi Pan Borneo SSLR trans borneo highway

Infrastructure focus in 13MP crucial for rural Sarawak, says works minister
KUCHING, Aug 2 — The recently tabled 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP) places comprehensive emphasis on national infrastructure development, including in Sarawak. Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi said the Works Ministry (KKR) carries a major responsibility in implementing infrastructure development, as without good roads, it would be difficult to deliver other services such as education, healthcare and safety. 'Roads are like the lifeblood of the body. Without them, development is hard to reach rural areas. For example, although school projects fall under the Ministry of Education, their implementation and monitoring are the responsibility of the Public Works Department (JKR). 'This is the kind of inter-agency cooperation that must continue for the benefit of the people,' he told a press conference after the handover ceremony of the completed Sekolah Kebangsaan (SK) Rantau Panjang here today. Nanta, who is also Kapit MP, said the project in the Sungai Batang Rajang area — involving the construction of a main road from Nanga Serau to Nanga Seranau and included under the 13MP — is still in its preliminary stages, and no implementation date has been set yet. 'The road is expected to span around 70 kilometres and benefit thousands of residents, including villages, longhouses, schools and clinics,' he said. As for the Sarawak Trans Borneo Highway project, Nanta said it comprises three phases starting from Tudan to Kuala Baram in the Miri division near the Malaysia-Brunei border checkpoint, ending in the Limbang division without entering Brunei. 'This project is a continuation of the Pan Borneo Highway and will have a major impact, especially on the economic development and connectivity of areas like Limbang, which is a key town in northern Sarawak,' he said. Earlier in his speech, Nanta said JKR would continue monitoring all aspects of post-handover maintenance to ensure the project functions properly and meets the required specifications. 'The successful completion and timely handover of two more projects today proves that the MADANI Government's aspirations are not just rhetoric but are realised through quality projects that are completed on schedule and bring added value to the community,' he said.

Big Oil's big reckoning: Why energy companies must reinvent or fade — Ahmad Ibrahim
AUGUST 2 — The global energy business is at a crossroads. The old certainties that once kept oil and gas companies flush with profits are fast evaporating. Rising climate pressures, aggressive carbon targets, volatile oil prices, and the unstoppable march of renewable energy are rewriting the rules of the game. In Malaysia, this new reality has landed squarely at Petronas' doorstep. The national oil company recently announced substantial job cuts, joining a long list of global oil majors trimming operations to stay afloat. But here's the hard truth: job cuts alone won't save them. The problem isn't just about leaner operations — it's about an outdated business model in a world that's moving on. For decades, the business model was simple: extract, refine, sell. High demand and a few strategic geopolitical disruptions kept prices buoyant, while oil companies banked billions. Those days are over. With more than 140 countries pledging to reach net-zero emissions by mid-century, demand for fossil fuels is approaching a long, irreversible decline. Even the world's largest fund managers now factor sustainability risks into investment decisions, increasingly avoiding companies perceived as climate laggards. Covid-19 delivered a brutal wake-up call. Energy demand plummeted. Oil prices crashed. Petronas, like its global peers, was forced into difficult decisions. The recent job cuts are not isolated belt-tightening, but early symptoms of an industry forced to rethink its very reason for being. Sure, trimming overheads can shore up quarterly numbers. But it won't future-proof the business. Energy companies can no longer afford to think like fossil fuel producers; they must start behaving like integrated energy providers. The future belongs to companies that can offer clean, reliable, and affordable energy solutions — and that means going well beyond oil and gas. Some oil majors have already taken bold steps. BP is repositioning itself as an integrated energy company, investing heavily in renewables and electric vehicle charging networks. Total has rebranded as TotalEnergies, reflecting its diversified energy portfolio. Even ExxonMobil, once a vocal sceptic of climate risks, is now pumping money into carbon capture and low-carbon solutions. Despite the stand taken by President Trump, there is no stopping the transition away from fossil fuels. Petronas has made initial moves into solar energy and green hydrogen, but these efforts need to be scaled rapidly. The longer it waits, the harder the catch-up will be. Experts agree on five moves energy companies must make. To stay profitable — and relevant — energy companies need more than incremental tweaks. They need reinvention. The future is clean energy. Solar, wind, hydrogen, and energy storage are where the growth lies. Energy companies should aggressively diversify their portfolios before being left behind. The skills used in offshore drilling, mega-project management, and complex logistics are transferable. These companies can lead in offshore wind, large-scale hydrogen, and carbon capture projects. Industrial clients and governments increasingly demand integrated, low-carbon energy options. Packaging natural gas, renewables, and carbon offset services is a smart, future-ready play. Workforce transformation is key. The energy workforce must pivot from traditional oilfield roles to clean tech, digital energy systems, and smart grid management. Developing integrated energy parks, waste-to-energy systems, and rural electrification projects not only creates new revenue streams but also builds public trust and national resilience. The energy transition isn't a distant risk — it's here. And it's accelerating. The companies that survive won't be the ones clinging to the past but those bold enough to shape the future. For Petronas and its global peers, this is a defining moment. Reinvent, diversify, and lead the transition — or watch profitability, relevance, and public support steadily erode The choice is clear. The clock is ticking. Since oil and gas is essentially about mining. The closest option that Malaysia should consider is rare earth metals. The country is holding substantial deposits of this new critical metals group. Exploration studies have uncovered their presence in most of the states of the country. But extracting them requires technologies which must consider their environmental impacts. But processing them is not an issue since Malaysia has many years of world class experience at Lynas. Despite all those time-wasting baseless concerns, Lynas survived. A Petronas like model should be just right if Malaysia is to effectively harness the country's rare earths deposits. * Professor Datuk Dr Ahmad Ibrahim is affiliated with the Tan Sri Omar Centre for STI Policy Studies at UCSI University and is an associate fellow at the Ungku Aziz Centre for Development Studies, Universiti Malaya.
