MELAKA TO SET UP A GREEN TECHNOLOGY INSTITUTE NEXT YEAR
MELAKA (Malaysia), Nov 16 (Bernama) -- The Melaka state government will set up an institute for green technology next year to speed up growth in the field which it believes capable of bringing in high income for the state.
Chief Minister Mohd Ali Rustam said the institute would promote research and
development programmes in the field of green technology through a more well
planned and effective system.
"If an institute is established, it would be more modernised and there would
be better coordination, it would have laboratories and scientists for the
research and development of green technology," he told reporters after receiving
the Mayor of Gwangju, South Korea, Kang Un-Tae, at his residence here Tuesday.
Mohd Ali said through the institute, the state will venture into related
industries such as the production of light emitting diode (LED), solar panels
and solar cells.
Advanced countries like South Korea has long ventured into this field to the
point of exporting its products and earning high income.
"I have been told that Gwangju city has a specialised institute for the
research and development of photonics based industry with the aim of using solar
energy for the production of their products.
Photonics is a technology field related to the harnessing and generation of
light and other forms of light.
It is related to the use of light as the medium of delivery for information
and other applications.
Mohd Ali hoped the institute would take on a role like that played by the
Biotechnology Institute of Melaka which greatly helped in the successful
development of the state's biotechnology sector.
The southern state of Melaka is dubbed The Historic State. The historical
city centre has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 7 July 2008.
