Malaysia, Japan ink agriculture MOUs worth over RM25 million
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia has continued to strengthen cooperation with Japan in the agricultural sector through the signing of Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) between several companies from both countries at Expo 2025 Osaka today. Agriculture and Food Security Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu, in a Facebook post, said the MoUs, which were expected to generate investments of over US$6 million (RM25.5 million), would not only boost the economy but also strengthen the resilience of the nation's food system. 'Agriculture is not just the work of villagers. It is the future of the nation. 'Let us continue to work hand-in-hand, be it the government, private sector, farmers, and the people, towards a resilient, innovative, and blessed Malaysia MADANI,' he said. Mohamad said he also had the opportunity to launch the Sustainable Agriculture Week at the Malaysia Pavilion in conjunction with the expo. He said Malaysia participated in the expo with the strong belief that sustainable agriculture was not just an option, but a necessity. 'Imagine if one day farmers lose their jobs, agricultural land is left idle, and food becomes increasingly difficult to obtain – that is a warning of the future approaching if we do not act now,' he said. Mohamad said Malaysia was now moving forward with the National Agrofood Policy 2.0 and Shared Prosperity Vision 2030 to modernise agriculture using technology such as drones, the Internet of Things (IoT), and smart systems. 'Even Tongkat Ali, we are increasing its added value to become a premium health product,' he said. Malaysia's participation in Expo 2025 Osaka is spearheaded by the Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry and supported through a whole-of-government approach involving 21 ministries and 70 agencies. It focuses on seven strategic sectors, namely sustainable agriculture, renewable energy (RE), smart living, green manufacturing, industrial reform, environmental management, and the halal industry.

Sarawak Energy signs MOU with Japan's JBIC to advance clean energy interconnectivity
Fadillah (middle), Awang Tengah (back row, left) and Liew (back row, right) witness the MOU signing and exchange between Sarawak Energy's Suhaili (foreground, far left) and JBIC's Sekine (foreground, far right) on Saturday. – Bernama photo OSAKA (May 31): Sarawak Energy and the Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC) formalised a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on Saturday to collaborate on renewable energy development, enhancement of cross-border energy infrastructure and technical knowledge exchange. The partnership reinforces ongoing effort to support Southeast Asia's energy transition while advancing regional interconnectivity and sustainability efforts. The signing ceremony took place after the official opening of the Malaysian Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka, which was officiated by Malaysia's Deputy Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof. Sarawak Energy's group chief executive officer, Datuk Sharbini Suhaili, signed the MOU alongside JBIC's managing executive director, Sekine Hiroki. Also present were Deputy Premier of Sarawak, Datuk Amar Awang Tengah Ali Hasan; Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Investment, Trade, and Industry Liew Chin Tong; Ambassador of Malaysia to Japan, Datuk Shahril Effendi Abd Ghany; MITI Deputy Secretary General (Industry) Datuk Hanafi Sakri; and Malaysia Pavilion director Ellyza Mastura Amhad Hanipiah. The MOU establishes a framework for strategic collaboration between Sarawak Energy and JBIC to advance renewable energy initiatives and enhance regional interconnectivity. 'Sarawak is stepping up its plan to deeply integrate Borneo into the ASEAN power grid,' Awang Tengah commented during a press conference after the MOU signing. 'Sarawak is also actively enhancing its grid infrastructure to strengthen power distribution across the state and beyond. 'Besides renewable energy, Sarawak is transforming its industrial landscape through strategic diversification into hydrogen, carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS), oil and gas, petrochemical products, and aerospace. 'These developments complement the sustainable oil and gas sector and expansion into high-value petrochemical downstream activities with advanced technologies and sustainable practices.' The Sarawak Deputy Premier said this is shaping a dynamic economic hub in Southeast Asia, balancing economic growth and environmental responsibility while achieving long-term prosperity. 'Today's signing of an agreement between Sarawak Energy and the Japanese Bank for International Cooperation will partly enhance our collaboration. 'In this respect, I would like to invite more Japanese companies to invest and participate in Sarawak's economic development agenda.' Aligned with the ASEAN Power Grid initiative and the Asia Zero Emission Community (AZEC), the partnership contributes meaningfully to long-term sustainability and strengthens regional cooperation. Both organisations will engage in ongoing dialogue and explore joint opportunities that support Sarawak Energy's long-term growth strategy and Southeast Asia's broader decarbonisation efforts. The MOU signing was coordinated with the support of the federal Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry, and Sarawak's Ministry of Utility and Telecommunication, through the Ministry of International Trade, Industry and Investment Sarawak.
