PETRA,TNB To Install Solar PV Systems In Mosques, Promoting Energy Transition
PASIR PUTEH, May 26 (Bernama) -- The Energy Transition and Water Transformation Ministry (PETRA), through Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) corporate social responsibility initiative, will install solar photovoltaic (PV) systems at two mosques with an allocation of RM130,698. PETRA secretary-general Datuk Mad Zaidi Mohd Karli said the mosques, Masjid Al-Hijrah at the Fishermen Resettlement Area (PSN) in Tok Bali, Pasir Puteh, Kelantan, and Masjid Al Huda in Kampung Rantau Abang, Dungun, Terengganu, received allocations of RM41,999 and RM88,699 respectively. He said the installations would reduce monthly electricity bills, promote environmental sustainability, raise community awareness, and help lower carbon emissions by replacing conventional energy sources with solar power. "These CSR projects are crucial in our efforts to bring the energy transition closer to the people, and solar power is one of the key initiatives under PETRA. "We call on other companies to follow TNB's example and take part in this energy transition efforts," he said when met at Masjid Al-Hijrah recently. He said the solar PV systems will be installed under the Net Energy Metering (NEM) GoMen scheme, whereby solar energy generated during the day will be used for electricity, and any excess energy will be exported to the TNB grid. "The exported excess will be recorded and reimported for use at night," he said. Meanwhile, the imam of Masjid Al-Hijrah PSN Tok Bali, Amirul Mukminin Mohd Roslan, said the solar project would benefit more than 1,200 residents. "InsyaAllah, there will be more programmes and activities at the mosque, especially at night, once the solar system is installed. It will also help reduce the monthly electricity bill," he said.

PETALING JAYA: A Selangor man recently hit the jackpot, taking home RM19 million from the Da Ma Cai 1+3D Jackpot. In total, 11 lucky tickets shared the RM35,287,699 Jackpot 1 prize, alongside the RM1,854,083 Jackpot 2 prize—both won on the same day. The Selangor winner secured his RM19 million windfall with a single straight bet ticket featuring the winning combination 0725 + 3666. The man, in his late thirties, revealed that the numbers held sentimental value—0725 was the room number from his recent family vacation in Bangkok, while 3666 was inspired by a permutation of his family car's license plate. 'The prize money is enough for me to settle all my debts and finally pursue my dream of starting my own business. I'll also be contributing to charity as a way of giving back,' he said, clearly elated by the win. Meanwhile, the remaining 10 winning tickets were part of the House Share System Bet (HSSB), which allows players to buy shared combinations for a collective chance to win. One HSSB winner, who had purchased multiple shares, said, 'Our whole company pooled funds to buy the ticket, with our boss chipping in the most. Now he's promised us a lavish company getaway with his share of the winnings!' Additionally, a Da Ma Cai 3D Jackpot prize of RM1,149,896 was won by a lucky individual from Rantau, Negeri Sembilan.
