SHAH ALAM, AUG 2: Selangor is now a main player in Malaysia regarding green technology.
Menteri Besar Dato’ Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali said the initiative is driven through the 2016-2018 green technology action plan, including using electric vehicles across the state.
“We are ensuring that the State Government focuses on green technology and efforts to reduce carbon consumption.
“What we are doing are positive initiatives, and encourages the use of latest technology,” he said.
He was speaking to reporters at the 2016-2018 Selangor State Green Technology Action Plan and Electric Vehicle Charger (ChargEV) Launching Ceremony on August 2, at the Bangunan Annex compound.
The action plan is implemented to ensure balance in human development and physical progress, based on sustainable growth created in the state.
This effort ultimately places Selangor as the only state that promotes the use of electric vehicles by providing 53 vehicle charger units.
Meanwhile, Tourism, Environment, Green Technology and Consumer Affairs Exco Elizabeth Wong said the use of green technology in Selangor is continuously promoted.
This includes the initiative to use electric buses involving several local authorities across the state.
She said that the programme’s effectiveness will enable a holistic reduction in carbon consumption.
