She said a development plan was being drafted to rejuvenate the beach, which was renowned for its stunning sunset views, weekend family outings, and seasonal kite festivals. 'The redevelopment of Layang-Layangan beach is part of our broader commitment to upgrade and add value to Labuan's tourism destinations,' she told Bernama after welcoming travellers from Kota Kinabalu at the Labuan International Ferry Terminal. 'We are still in the planning stage but the intention is clear to rejuvenate the popularity of this beach and make it more attractive for both locals and tourists,' she said. Dr Zaliha said the facelift would not only enhance the visitor experience but also benefit local hawkers in the area. 'This initiative will create a better environment for small traders and food vendors at the beach, which in turn helps improve the local economy,' she highlighted. She stressed the Federal Government's commitment to strengthening Labuan's tourism potential. 'We will continue to identify and develop attraction sites across the island to support Labuan's positioning as a vibrant tourism hub. 'The planned upgrade is expected to include improved amenities, beautification works and enhanced public facilities to accommodate the growing number of beachgoers.' Dr Zaliha added that the redevelopment was part of Labuan Corporation's ongoing tourism enhancement programme under the purview of the Federal Territories Department.

Malaysia to be focus of DayOne's plans
ISKANDAR PUTERI: Global data centre operator DayOne is deepening its long-term commitment to Malaysia by positioning the country as a key hub in the regional digital supply chain, with major investments centred on Johor. DayOne Data Centers Malaysia Sdn Bhd general manager Jimmy Yan said the company is currently developing two hyperscale campuses in Nusajaya Tech Park and Kempas Tech Park, each covering hundreds of acres and targeting a combined capacity of up to 500 megawatts. 'Our goal is not just to build data centres, but to embed ourselves in Malaysia's digital economy by localising our supply chain, developing skilled local talent, and building long-term partnerships with both federal and state governments,' Yan said. According to Yan, the project is already generating significant economic spillover, with an estimated RM400mil in supply-chain investments already. — Bernama

Nuclear power a long-term option, not immediate solution, says DPM
Fadillah Yusof estimated that it would take 10 years before nuclear energy is implemented in Malaysia. (Bernama pic) PETALING JAYA : The government's stance on nuclear power is to treat it as a long-term option rather than an immediate solution, deputy prime minister Fadillah Yusof said today. Citing the complexity and safety concerns associated with the technology, he said Malaysia was still in the early stages of studying its feasibility as part of the country's future energy mix. 'We are not saying that we are going ahead (with it). What has been approved is that we will consider nuclear as part of the potential energy mix,' Bernama quoted him as saying at an international energy week conference in Kuching. Fadillah, who is minister for energy transition and water transformation, estimated that it would take Malaysia at least 10 years to implement nuclear energy. He said extensive groundwork was being carried out, including international benchmarking and regulatory planning. 'I've visited the UK, France and Russia, and we will also be going to the US, China and South Korea. We are analysing all available technologies, including the safety and environmental implications,' he said. Fadillah emphasised that nuclear adoption must comply with strict international processes and treaties, particularly with regard to the impact on the environment. 'Only after we sign all 18 required international treaties, and receive approval at that level, can we even begin to consider incorporating nuclear energy in our national energy supply.' He also highlighted the importance of public acceptance, saying that without widespread support from Malaysians, the nuclear option would not proceed. 'We must engage the public and secure their buy-in,' he said. Separately, Sarawak premier Abang Johari Openg said nuclear energy was not currently relevant for the state, given its abundant and diversified renewable energy sources. He told reporters that Sarawak had hydro, gas and solar energy, adding: 'With what we have, I don't think Sarawak needs nuclear energy.' He said Sarawak remains focussed on becoming a renewable energy powerhouse, targeting the production of up to 15 gigawatts by 2035 through existing clean energy sources. Abang Johari also said Sarawak was exploring energy production using hydrogen from water as a safer, cleaner and cheaper alternative to nuclear fission. 'We have the water resources to support it,' he said.
