The monsoon season is fast approaching, here in Malaysia. Already, intense rain and powerful thunderstorms are hitting Kuala Lumpur every day, particularly in the evenings with 2-4 hour commutes home. Even so, we consider ourselves lucky when compared to the residents of the US East Coast who have had to face the ‘Frankenstorm’ (Hurricane Sandy), which severely hit New York and New Jersey on 29th October. The region was in lock down, with transport services at a stand-still, schools and offices closed, Wall Street trading disrupted and even with just seven days before Election Day, political campaigns have had to come to a halt.

Marina Yong attended the 4th Energy Forum hosted by the Malaysian Gas Association (MGA) on 27th September 2012. KETTHA is reforming The Malaysian Electricity Supply Industry (MESI) to ensure the energy supply in the future will be sustainable. However, defining a sustainable energy future should have incorporated a much larger emphasis on smart grid solutions and renewables than was heard at the one day forum, even if it is hosted by a non-renewable fuel association, the MGA. Disappointingly, it seems that coal is still a big part of Malaysia’s energy future.
