Message from the President
Tan Sri Dr Ahmad Tajuddin Ali FASc.

Presiden, Akademi Sains Malaysia
President, Academy of Sciences Malaysia
Tahun 2011 pasti tercatat dalam lipatan sejarah

sebagai tahun yang menyaksikan pelbagai
ketidaktentuan di dunia. Bencana nuklear Fukushima, contohnya, mencetuskan lebih banyak
keraguan mengenai bahan api nuklear sebagai
sumber tenaga yang berpotensi bagi dunia.
Banyak negara sudah berundur daripada
agenda nuklear mereka. Kebuntuan ekonomi di
Kesatuan Eropah (EU) yang timbul daripada krisis
hutang yang meruncing di Greece adalah satu
lagi tamparan kepada ekonomi dunia kerana
dunia masih bergelut untuk pulih daripada krisis
kewangan global yang bermula pada tahun
2008. Kejatuhan ekonomi yang melanda Greece
menunjukkan tanda merebak ke negara anggota
EU yang lain seperti Ireland dan Portugal. Malah,
terdapat perbincangan mengenai rombakan
keseluruhan EU. Mujurlah, ekonomi dunia masih
bernasib baik; Amerika Syarikat yang sudah
beberapa tahun mencuri tumpuan dunia kerana
kemelesetan ekonominya sudah menunjukkan
tanda pemulihan walaupun lemah. Sekiranya
bukan kerana pencapaian kukuh negara gergasi
Asia, terutamanya China dan India, penganalisis
ekonomi percaya ekonomi dunia sudah pastinya
menuju ke ambang kiamat ekonomi. Ramai kini
melihat Asia sebagai kuasa ekonomi dunia pada
tahun mendatang.
2011 must surely go down in history as a year when

there were many uncertainties in the world. The
Fukushima nuclear disaster, for example, created
more doubts on nuclear fuel as a potential
energy source for the world. Many countries
have backtracked on their nuclear agenda. The
economic stalemate in the European Union (EU)
arising from the troubling debt crisis in Greece was
another blow to the world economy as it struggled
to recover from the financial setback of 2008. The
Greek debacle was showing signs of spreading
to other EU member countries such as Ireland
and Portugal. There were even discussions about
dismantling the entire EU. Fortunately for the world
economy; the USA, which has for a number of
years been hogging the limelight for its economic
malaise, was showing signs of recovery albeit
weak. If not for the robust performance of the
Asian giants, principally China and India, analysts
agree that the world economy would have gone
the path of an economic Armageddon. Many
now see Asia as the economic powerhouse of the
world in the coming years.

Gelombang kebangkitan yang berlaku di Timur

Tengah, digelar Musim Bunga Arab, langsung
tidak membantu pemulihan ekonomi dunia. Sebagai wilayah yang membekalkan sebahagian besar permintaan minyak dan gas dunia, ketegangan sebegitu membimbangkan kerana ia boleh
menyumbang kepada pergerakan yang tidak
diingini dalam harga minyak global. Keadaan
ekonomi Barat yang lembab turut memberi kesan kepada Malaysia terutamanya daripada segi
permintaan eksport yang menurun di beberapa
pasaran utama Barat. Walau bagaimanapun,
kesan daripada permintaan domestik yang kukuh, negara berjaya menunjukkan pertumbuhan
ekonomi meyakinkan lebih daripada 5% pada tahun ini. Tetapi, yang menjadi persoalan, berapa
lamakah pertumbuhan ekonomi negara dapat
dikekalkan dengan pelbagai krisis yang berterusan menimpa dunia? Bolehkah sains dan teknologi menyumbang kepada kelestarian pertumbuhan Malaysia pada masa hadapan?
The social flare-ups in the Middle East, dubbed

the Arab Spring, were of no help to the global
economy. Being a region which supplies the bulk
of the worlds oil and gas demands, such tension
was worrying given the fact that it could contribute
to unwanted movement in global oil prices. The
economic slumber in the West did affect Malaysia
to some extent especially in terms of declining
export demand in some major Western markets.
However, thanks to robust domestic demand, the
nation managed to show a credible economic
growth of more than 5% for the year. But, the
questions before us are, for how long will the
countrys growth be sustained in the face of the
many crises that continue to confront the world?
Can science and technology contribute towards
sustaining Malaysias growth going into the
future?
Perubahan Iklim
Tidak dinafikan pelbagai krisis berlaku di peringkat
global pada dekad yang lalu. Krisis iklim yang dipercayai benar oleh saintis masih belum menunjukkan tanda surut. Dunia masih belum mencapai
kata sepakat mengenai langkah pengurangan.
Ancaman terhadap biodiversiti sebagai kesan
perubahan iklim kekal menjadi kebimbangan
dunia. Keselamatan bahan api dan tenaga,
ketersediaan makanan dan kelestarian air adalah antara cabaran yang menuntut penyelesaian berkekalan dan boleh dipercayai. Kita boleh
menambah senarai ini dengan ketidakstabilan
berterusan dalam sistem kewangan dan pencapaian suram ekonomi global secara menyeluruh.
Tidak hairanlah ramai yang tidak optimis tentang
masa hadapan.
Climate Change
There is no denying that numerous crises at the
global level have sprung up during the last decade. The climate crisis, which scientists believe
is for real, has yet to show signs of abating. The
world has yet to agree on mitigation measures.
Threats to biodiversity, as a consequence of climate change, remain a growing concern for the
world. Fuel and energy security, food availability
and water sustainability are the other challenges
begging for lasting and credible solutions. We
can add to the list the continuing instability in the
financial system and the lacklustre performance
of the global economy as a whole. It is no wonder
that many are not optimistic about the future.
Pada tahun ini, ASM menganjurkan beberapa

sesi dialog untuk membincangkan penyelesaian
yang mungkin dalam menangani isu tersebut
bagi negara. Prosiding bagi beberapa wacana
ini diterbitkan dan diedarkan untuk penggunaan
awam. Monograf berkaitan perubahan iklim
termasuk: pengurangan risiko bencana; senario
perubahan iklim; impak kesihatan; cabaran bagi
pertanian dan keselamatan makanan; angkasa;
kelestarian perhutanan; R&D dan isu dasar.
ASM juga bekerjasama dengan ICSU dalam
penganjuran Bengkel Rio+20 untuk mengumpul
input kebangsaan bagi sidang kemuncak itu.
During the year, ASM anchored a number of

engaging dialogues to deliberate on possible
solutions to such issues for the nation. The
proceedings of some of these discourses have
been published and disseminated for public
consumption. Monographs related to climate
change include: disaster risk reduction; climate
change scenarios; health impacts; challenges
for agriculture and food security; space;
sustainable forestry, R&D and policy issues. ASM
also co-operated with ICSU to organise the Rio+20
Workshop in order to garner national input for the
summit.
Masyarakat dunia bersetuju bahawa mempercepatkan pelepasan gas rumah hijau tidak
memberi kesan baik kepada dunia. Ancaman
kepada iklim global berpotensi membahayakan
There is agreement worldwide that accelerating

greenhouse gas emissions do not augur well for
the world. The threat to the global climate can
be potentially disastrous for mankind. A major

manusia sejagat. Penyumbang utama terletak

pada penguasaan penggunaan bahan api fosil
untuk memenuhi permintaan tenaga dunia. Tahun
2011 menyaksikan R&D yang aktif di pelbagai
pusat kecemerlangan saintifik di dunia. Pencarian
alternatif, terutamanya pembangunan tenaga
boleh diperbaharui, menjadi keutamaan penting
bagi kebanyakan negara. Laporan oleh Program
Alam Sekitar Pertubuhan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu
menyatakan pelaburan global dalam tenaga
hijau meningkat hampir satu pertiga mencecah
USD211 bilion pada tahun 2010. Ladang angin
di China dan panel suria bumbung berskala
kecil di Eropah banyak menyumbang kepada
peningkatan pelaburan itu. Tenaga solar skala
kecil di Eropah meningkat disebabkan oleh tarif
galakan, terutamanya di Jerman, ditambah
dengan kejatuhan mendadak dalam kos modul
fotovolta serta keputusan Kerajaan Jerman untuk
mengurangkan penggunaaan tenaga nuklear
sebagai sumber tenaga elektrik.
contributor lies in the dominating use of fossil

fuels to satisfy the worlds demand for energy.
2011 witnessed active R&D in many centres of
scientific excellence in the world. The search
for alternatives, especially the development of
renewable energy, was of high priority in many
countries. It has been reported by the United
Nations Environment Programme that global
investments in green energy were up by nearly a
third to reach USD211 billion in 2010. Wind farms
in China and small-scale solar panels on rooftops
in Europe were largely responsible for the rise in
investments. Europes small-scale solar energy
boom owed much to feed-in tariffs, particularly in
Germany, combined with a sharp fall in the cost
of photovoltaic modules as well as on the German
Governments decision to scale back on nuclear
power as a source of electrical energy.
Kejutan harga bahan api pada tahun 2008, dan

kenaikan berkaitan harga makanan dan komoditi,
kedua-duanya menandakan kelemahan struktur
dan risiko dalam pasaran dunia yang masih belum
selesai. Terdapat peningkatan permintaan bahan
api, seperti yang diramalkan oleh Agensi Tenaga
Antarabangsa dan lain-lain, serta melaporkan
kebergantungan berterusan kepada minyak dan
bahan api fosil lain dan harga tenaga yang lebih
tinggi pada masa akan datang, tatkala ekonomi
dunia bergelut untuk pulih dan berkembang.
The fuel price shock of 2008, and a related flare

up in food and commodity prices, both indicate
structural weaknesses and risks in the world market
which still remain unresolved. There is a rising
demand for fuel, as forecasted by the International
Energy Agency and others. They had reported an
on-going dependence on oil and other fossil fuel
and much higher energy prices to come, as the
world economy struggles to recover and grow.
Tidak dinafikan perubahan iklim merupakan salah

satu cabaran hebat pada abad ke-21. Ia adalah
ancaman sebenar dan semakin berkembang.
Kesannya sudah dapat dirasakan di seluruh dunia.
Ini dapat dilihat menerusi peningkatan frekuensi
dan intensiti keadaan cuaca ekstrem seperti
gelombang panas, kemarau teruk, banjir yang
mengakibatkan kemusnahan luar biasa dan siklon
tropika dalam beberapa dekad kebelakangan
ini. Perubahan iklim juga memburukkan lagi
kekurangan bekalan air, mengekang pengeluaran
pertanian
dan
mengancam
keselamatan
makanan. Ia juga menyebabkan kebakaran
hutan, degradasi pantai serta meningkatkan risiko
kesihatan. Maka, perubahan iklim kemungkinan
besar akan menjejaskan usaha dunia dalam
mewujudkan pembangunan lestari melainkan
tindakan segera diambil untuk mengurangkan
tahap pelepasan gas rumah hijau.
Climate change is undoubtedly one of the

greatest challenges of the 21st century. It is a real
and growing threat. Its impacts have already
been felt worldwide. This is reflected by the
increasing frequency and intensity of extreme
weather conditions such as heat waves, chronic
drought, unusually devastating floods and tropical
cyclones in recent decades. Climate change is
also exacerbating water shortages, constraining
agricultural production and threatening food
security. It is also causing forest fires, coastal
degradation as well as increasing health risks. Thus,
climate change is likely to affect the worlds quest
for sustainable development unless action is taken
soon to reduce the levels of greenhouse gases.
Malaysia sebagai sebahagian daripada masyarakat global tidak kebal kepada perubahan
iklim; lebih-lebih lagi dengan garis pantai yang
panjang, penumpuan penduduk dan aktiviti
ekonomi yang tinggi di kawasan pantai; dan
kebergantungan yang tinggi pada pertanian,
sumber asli dan perhutanan. Langkah adaptif
seperti penyimpanan dan pemuliharaan air,
Malaysia being part of the global community is

not immune to climate change; more so with her
long coastlines, high concentration of population
and economic activity in coastal areas; and
heavy reliance on agriculture, natural resources,
and forestry. Adaptive measures such as storing
and conserving water, engineering new plant

ASM pada tahun 2011 menjalankan beberapa

wacana saintifik untuk membincangkan impak
perubahan iklim kepada kesejahteraan sosioekonomi Malaysia. Perbincangan tertumpu
kepada langkah mitigasi dan penyesuaian
sebagai tindak balas kepada perubahan iklim.
Laporan mengenai perubahan iklim dan air juga
dihasilkan pada tahun ini. Kajian Rangka Kerja
Sains Mega bagi Pembangunan Kebangsaan
Berterusan
(20102050),
dimulakan
untuk
mengenal pasti peluang S&T serta menyediakan
cadangan mengenai sub-sektor yang perlu diberi
fokus oleh Malaysia, menyediakan penilaian
masa hadapan beberapa sektor utama negara,
juga menyentuh impak pola cuaca ekstrem
yang memberi kesan kepada beberapa
sektor. Empat laporan mengenai air, tenaga,
kesihatan dan pertanian yang dihantar kepada
kerajaan pada tahun ini termasuk perbincangan
mengenai implikasi perubahan iklim terhadap
sektor itu. Ekspedisi saintifik yang dijalankan oleh
Felo ASM di beberapa lokasi bio-pelbagai di
dalam negara melaporkan beberapa penilaian
kualitatif mengenai impak perubahan iklim
terhadap landskap dan geologi, flora dan
fauna, hidupan akuatik, eko-pelancongan dan
masyarakat tempatan. Walau bagaimanapun,
masih jelas banyak usaha perlu dilakukan bagi
membangunkan penyelesaian berdaya maju
untuk memerangi impak berpotensi perubahan
iklim kepada sumber negara.
ASM in 2011 undertook a number of scientific

discourses to deliberate on the impact of climate
change on Malaysias socio-economic well-being.
Discussions centred on mitigation and adaptation
measures as responses to climate change. A report
on climate change and water was produced
during the year. The Mega Science Framework
Study on Sustained National Development (2010
2050) was initiated to identify S&T opportunities
as well as providing recommendations on which
sub-sectors for Malaysia to focus. It provides an
assessment of the future of some key sectors of the
country, also touching on the impact of extreme
weather patterns impacting some sectors. The four
reports on water, energy, health and agriculture
which were submitted to the government during
the year included discussions on the implications
of climate change on the sectors. Scientific
expeditions undertaken by ASM Fellows to some
bio-diverse locations in the country have reported
some qualitative assessment on the impacts of
climate change on landscape and geology,
flora and fauna, aquatic life, eco-tourism and the
local community. However, it is clear more work
is needed to develop viable solutions to combat
the potential impact of climate change on the
countrys resources.
Keselamatan Makanan
Keselamatan Makanan terus menjadi isu yang
membimbangkan dunia. Kebetulan, Anugerah
Sains Mahathir 2011 oleh ASM yang diberikan
kepada penyelidik cemerlang yang berjaya
membuat penemuan saintifik yang diiktiraf di
peringkat antarabangsa dalam sektor pertanian
tropika, dianugerahkan kepada Prof Yuan
LongPing, Bapa beras hibrid. Usaha beliau
bukan sahaja mengubah China daripada sebuah
negara yang kekurangan bekalan makanan
menjadi negara yang mencukupi bekalan
makanannya dalam masa tiga dekad, malah
teknik beras hibrid beliau juga dikomersilkan di
seluruh Asia, Afrika dan Amerika.
Food Security
Food Security continues to be an issue of concern
to the world. Coincidently, the Academys
2011 Mahathir Science Award, which is given
to outstanding researchers who have made
internationally recognised scientific breakthroughs
in tropical agriculture, was bestowed on Prof Yuan
LongPing, the Father of hybrid rice. His efforts not
only transformed China from a food deficiency
country to that of a food sufficient nation within
three decades, but also his techniques for hybrid
rice have been commercialised throughout Asia,
Africa and the Americas.

cabaran utama adalah memastikan semua

orang mendapat akses kepada sumber
makanan. Pertubuhan Kesihatan Sedunia (WHO)
mentakrifkan keselamatan makanan sebagai
apabila semua orang pada setiap masa
mendapat akses makanan yang mencukupi,
selamat, berkhasiat bagi mengekalkan kehidupan
yang sihat dan aktif. Pemahaman global
mengenai masalah keselamatan makanan
sangat diperlukan meskipun wujud keperluan
mendesak bagi penyelesaian kerjasama untuk
menampung keperluan makanan kepada
populasi dunia yang semakin meningkat.
Berpandukan desakan ini, tiga komponen utama
keselamatan makanan dikenal pasti. Komponen
ini adalah (a) Ketersediaan makanandi mana
kuantiti makanan yang mencukupi tersedia
secara konsisten; (b) Akses makanantermasuk
mempunyai sumber yang mencukupi untuk
mendapatkan makanan bersesuaian bagi diet
berkhasiat; dan (c) Kegunaan makanandi
mana penggunaan makanan yang bersesuaian
berdasarkan pengetahuan tentang nutrisi dan
penjagaan asas, serta air yang mencukupi dan
sanitasi.
making food available to all will be a major

challenge. The World Health Organisation (WHO)
has defined food security as when all people at
all times have access to sufficient, safe, nutritious
food to maintain a healthy and active life. A
global understanding on the problems of food
security is urgently required albeit the need for
collaborative solutions to feed the exploding world
population. Guided by this urgency, the three
core components of food security have been
identified. These are (a) Food availabilitywhere
sufficient quantities of food are available on a
consistent basis; (b) Food accessinclude having
sufficient resources to obtain appropriate food
for a nutritious diet; and (c) Food usewhere
appropriate use based on knowledge of basic
nutrition and care, as well as adequate water and
sanitation.
Keselamatan makanan di Malaysia sering kali

menjadi isu yang kontroversi. Wujud keperluan
untuk menghasilkan makanan mencukupi bagi
menampung populasi yang semakin meningkat
dan pengurangan tanah pertanian. Selain
Food security for Malaysia is always a contentious

issue. On one hand is the need to produce sufficient
food to feed its growing population and declining
arable land, while on the other hand is the higher

itu, terdapat peluang keuntungan yang lebih

tinggi daripada tanah sekiranya digunakan
untuk pengeluaran tanaman bukan makanan
serta industri. Keseimbangan sangat diperlukan.
Malahan, keselamatan makanan bukan setakat
menghasilkan beras mencukupi (penggunaan
per kapita akan menurun apabila negara menjadi
lebih maju), tetapi juga meliputi keperluan bagi
sumber protein, vitamin dan mineral, dan serat
pemakanan yang mencukupi untuk memastikan
diet yang sihat dan seimbang. Masalah kesihatan
berkaitan makanan pada abad ke-21 termasuk
obesiti, diabetes, hipertensi dan penyakit kardiovaskular kini menjadi satu cabaran bagi negara.
Oleh itu, ASM juga meneroka kemungkinan
perkongsian dengan Wellcome Trust, UK untuk
memudahkan penyelidikan dalam bidang ini.
return from the land if used for the production of

non-food crops as well as for industry. A balance is
undoubtedly needed. Furthermore, food security
is not about just producing enough rice (the per
capita consumption of which will decrease as the
nation becomes more developed), but also covers
the need for sufficient sources of protein, vitamins
and minerals, and dietary fibre to ensure a healthy
and balanced diet. Food related health problems
of the 21st century including obesity, diabetes,
hypertension and cardiovascular diseases have
become a challenge for the country. As such,
ASM is also exploring the possibility of partnership
with the Wellcome Trust, UK to facilitate research
in this area.
Jawatankuasa Pertanian ASM telah menganjurkan

pelbagai perbincangan bertujuan memberikan
input berwawasan kepada negara. Laporan kajian Sains Mega mengenai pertanian mencadangkan beberapa strategi pembangunan untuk

shared some insights into new ideas on urban

agriculture including the deployment of high rise
concrete structures to grow food crops. Apart from
land limitations, a major concern in agriculture
relates to the continued availability of water which
is a key ingredient in plant growth.
Masa Hadapan Air

Kekurangan air tawar sudah menjadi masalah
global. Ramalan mencadangkan jurang yang
semakin meningkat menjelang tahun 2040 antara
permintaan air tawar tahunan dan bekalan boleh
diperbaharui. Situasi ini akan menjadi bertambah
buruk
dengan
peningkatan
permintaan
makanan dan perubahan iklim yang semakin
ketara. Begitu juga, harapan untuk sanitasi yang
lebih baik kelihatan suram bagi lebih daripada
2.5 bilion orang. Lebih daripada 884 juta orang
masih kekurangan akses untuk mendapatkan
air minuman bersih (World Water Development
Report 2012). Secara kolektif, krisis ini memberi
impak yang teruk kepada keupayaan kita untuk
mengekalkan kemakmuran di seluruh dunia dan
mencapai Matlamat Pem-bangunan Milenium
(MDGs) yang bertujuan mengurangkan kadar
kemiskinan ekstrem di dunia. Sekali lagi, ramai
yang percaya penyelesaiannya wujud dalam
sains dan teknologi, khususnya pembangunan
sistem penyahmasinan berdaya maju.
Water Futures
Freshwater scarcity is already a global problem.
Forecasts have suggested a growing gap by 2040
between annual freshwater demand and renewable supply. The situation will worsen as food demand rises and climate change intensifies. Similarly, the outlook for improved sanitation looks bleak
for over 2.5 billion people. More than 884 million
people still lack access to clean drinking water
(World Water Development Report 2012). Collectively, these crises are severely impacting our ability to sustain prosperity worldwide and to achieve
the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) which
aim to reduce the incidence of extreme poverty
in the world. Again, many believe the solutions lie
in science and technology, especially the development of viable desalination systems.
Malaysia mempunyai sumber air yang amat

banyak. Min air larian tahunan sebanyak 566
bilion meter padu dan 64 bilion m imbuhan air
tanah diterjemahkan kepada ketersediaan air
kasar purata tahunan sebanyak 28,000 m per
kapita. Jumlah penggunaan air di Malaysia
pada masa ini adalah kira-kira 12.5 bilion m/
setahun ataupun kurang daripada 3% air larian
sedia ada (Mega Science Framework Study
Water Report 2010). Memandangkan bekalan
air begitu banyak, keselamatan air di Malaysia
lebih menjurus kepada pengekalan ataupun
peningkatan kuantiti, kualiti dan aspek kesihatan
sumber air, serta meningkatkan penggunaan air
yang efisien.
Malaysia has abundant water resources. The

annual mean runoff of 566 billion m and 64 billion
m of ground water recharge translate into an
annual average gross water availability of 28,000
m per capita. The present total water consumption
in Malaysia is about 12.5 billion m/year or less
than 3% of the available runoff (Mega Science
Framework Study Water Report 2010). Owing
to such abundance of supply, water security in
Malaysia is concerned more with maintaining or
improving the quantity, quality and health aspects
of water resources, as well as increasing efficiency
of use.
Kajian Rangka Kerja Sains Mega ASM mengenai

Sektor Air memberi cadangan untuk menguasai
peluang masa hadapan dalam bidang STI bagi
air dan mengguna pakai teknologi bersesuaian
yang boleh meningkatkan lagi keselamatan air di
Malaysia. Jawatankuasa Air ASM menganjurkan
Kolokium Tasik Kebangsaan pada tahun 2007
ASMs Mega Science Framework Study on the Water Sector has come up with recommendations to
capture future opportunities in STI for water and to
adopt appropriate technologies which can further
enhance Malaysias water security. ASMs Water

Permintaan tenaga dan perkhidmatan berkaitan,
untuk memenuhi pembangunan sosial dan
ekonomi dan meningkatkan kesejahteraan dan
kesihatan manusia, semakin meningkat. Semua
masyarakat memerlukan khidmat tenaga untuk
memenuhi keperluan asas manusia (contohnya,
lampu, keselesaan ruang memasak, kemuliaan
dan komunikasi) dan untuk menyediakan proses
yang produktif. Sejak tahun 1850-an, pengunaan
global bahan api fosil (arang batu, minyak dan
gas) meningkat dan menguasai bekalan tenaga
yang menyumbang kepada pertumbuhan pesat
dalam pelepasan karbon dioksida (CO2).
Energy
Demand for energy and associated services, to
meet social and economic development and
improve human welfare and health, is increasing.
All societies require energy services to meet
basic human needs (e.g. lighting, cooking space
comfort, nobility and communication) and to
serve the productive processes. Since the 1850s,
global use of fossil fuels (coal, oil and gas) has
increased to dominate energy supply, leading to
a rapid growth in carbon dioxide (CO ) emissions.

Dashed lines show the full range of post-SRES scenarios.
The emissions include CO2, CH4, N2O and F-gases.
Pelepasan Gas Rumah Hijau (GHG) yang

berpunca daripada penyediaan perkhidmatan
tenaga memberi sumbangan besar kepada
peningkatan bersejarah dalam penumpuan GHG
di atmosfera. Laporan Penilaian Keempat Panel
antara Kerajaan Mengenai Perubahan Iklim
(IPCCAR4) menyimpulkan bahawa kebanyakan
peningkatan yang diperhatikan dalam suhu
purata global sejak pertengahan abad ke-20
kemungkinan besar disebabkan oleh peningkatan
yang diperhatikan dalam penumpuan gas rumah
hijau antropogenik. Pelepasan terus meningkat
dan penumpuan CO2 meningkat kepada lebih
daripada 390 ppm, ataupun 39% di atas tahap
pra-perindustrian menjelang akhir tahun 2010
(IPCCAR4).
Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions resulting from

the provision of energy services have contributed
significantly to the historic increase in atmospheric
GHG concentrations. The Inter-Government Panel
of Climate Change Fourth Assessment Report
(IPCCAR4) concluded that most of the observed
increase in global average temperature since the
mid-20th century is very likely due to the observed
increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas
concentrations. Emissions continue to grow and
CO concentrations have increased to over 390
ppm, or 39% above pre-industrial levels by the end

of 2010 (IPCCAR4).
Terdapat pelbagai pilihan untuk mengurangkan

pelepasan GHG daripada sistem tenaga dan pada
masa yang sama memenuhi permintaan global

conservation and efficiency, fossil fuel switching,

renewable energy, nuclear, carbon capture and
storage.
Malaysia mempunyai begitu banyak hidro, suria

dan biojisim dengan potensi angin di kawasan
pantai dan pulau. Sumber boleh diperbaharui
yang terdapat di Malaysia adalah biojisim, suria,
kuasa mini hidro, sisa perbandaran dan biogas.
Kini, tenaga geoterma sedang dibangunkan di
Tawau, Sabah, untuk menyediakan bekalan elektrik
ke kawasan bandar. Hampir 60% dari Malaysia
didominasi oleh hutan dan 15% lagi dikongsi
oleh penanaman pertanian yang disokong oleh
cahaya matahari yang banyak dan pemendakan
yang diperlukan untuk pertumbuhan tanaman
yang pantas. Oleh itu, terdapat potensi yang
besar untuk pembangunan biojisim dan tenaga
suria. Sebagai contoh, tenaga suria bukan sahaja
merangkumi penukaran fotovolta kepada elektrik,
tetapi juga pemanasan suria dan penghawa
dingin secara langsung, manakala biojisim
merangkumi pembakaran langsung tumbuhan
sebagai bahan api bio dan biogas. RE di Malaysia
diberi suntikan perangsang dengan pelaksanaan
Skim Tarif Galakan (FIT), di mana seseorang individu
boleh menjual tenaga yang dijana kepada
syarikat utiliti pada kadar premium tetap untuk
jangka masa tertentu. Ini adalah selaras dengan
dasar untuk mengurangkan keperluan loji kuasa
bahan api fosil tambahan dan pada masa yang
sama mengurangkan pelepasan karbon.
Malaysia has abundant hydro, solar and

biomass with wind potential in the coastal areas
and islands. Renewable resources available in
Malaysia are biomass, solar, mini-hydro power,
municipal waste and biogas. Geothermal energy
is now being developed in Tawau, Sabah, to
provide electricity to the township. Almost 60% of
Malaysia is dominated by forest and 15% is shared
by agricultural cultivation backed by abundant
sunshine and precipitation for rapid plant growth As
such, there is great potential for the development
of biomass and solar energy. For example, solar
energy not only includes photovoltaic conversion
to electricity, but also direct solar heating and
air-condition, while biomass includes direct
combustion of plant matter as biofuel and
biogas. RE in Malaysia is given a boost with the
implementation of the Feed-in-Tariff (FIT) scheme,
where individuals can sell the power generated
to utilities companies at a fixed premium rate
for specific period. This is keeping in line with the
policy to minimise the need of additional fossil
fuel power plants and at the same time reducing
carbon emissions.

ASM melalui Jawatankuasa Tenaga menyediakan input berwawasan kepada pihak berkuasa
masing-masing untuk meningkatkan pengambilan
RE serta amalan kecekapan tenaga (EE). Amalan
EE dapat diibaratkan sebagai buah yang
bergayut di dahan rendah di mana hanya
pelaburan sedikit diperlukan untuk memperoleh
manfaat yang besar. Langkah EE juga termasuk
penggunaan motor berkecekapan tinggi,
penebat premis dingin udara yang mencukupi,
penggantian penyejuk penyaman udara lama
dengan penyejuk EE, penggunaan peti sejuk
EE dan langkah penjimatan tenaga dalam
kemudahan Kerajaan.
ASM through its Energy Committee had been

providing insightful inputs to the respective
authorities on improving RE up-take as well as the
practice of energy efficiency (EE). The practise
of EE is likened to low hanging fruits where little
investments is required for the fairly substantial
benefits. EE measures also included the use of
high efficiency motors, adequate insulation of air
conditioned premises, replacement of old A/C
chillers with EE chillers, use of EE refrigerators and
energy saving measures in Government facilities.
Komunikasi Sains
Transmisi sains, teknologi dan inovasi merentasi
sempadan negara sedang berkembang dan
dimanifestasikan sebagai kemajuan dalam
teknologi maklumat dan komunikasi. Setiap negara
mempunyai kapasiti berbeza dalam penggunaan
peluang yang dicipta melalui kemajuan saintifik
dan teknologi, dan perkembangan ekonomi
negara itu dan daya saingnya tidak dinafikan
ditentukan bukan sahaja dengan cara mereka
mengurus dan menghayati pengetahuan dan
teknologi itu, tetapi juga bagaimana mereka
memindahkannya menjadi tindakan. Ini memberi
petanda perlunya komunikasi sains yang efektif
merentasi pelbagai suasana sosial dan platform
media. Cabaran sebenar adalah memahami
bagaimana untuk menggunakan komunikasi
untuk menaja dialog, menggalakkan perbezaan
perspektif, memudahkan penyertaan awam,
mencapai kata sepakat dan belajar daripada
perselisihan pendapat untuk menyampaikan
mesej sains dan teknologi.
Science Communication
The transmission of science, technology and
innovation across national borders is growing and
is manifested by advances in the information and
communication technology. Countries differ in
their capacities to capitalise on the opportunities
created through scientific and technological advancements, and their economic progress and
competitiveness will no doubt be determined not
only by how well they manage and embrace such
knowledge and technologies, but also by how well
they are able to transmit them into actions. This calls
for effective science communication across a diversity of social settings and media platform. The
challenge here is to understand how to use communication to sponsor dialogue, invite differing
perspectives, facilitate public participation, reach
consensus and learn from disagreement to put
across the message of science and technology.
ASM telah menjalankan pelbagai program

komunikasi sains yang melibatkan sektor
masyarakat yang berbeza dalam usaha untuk
meningkatkan pemahaman awam mengenai
sains dan teknologi dan antara program itu
termasuk siri syarahan ASM seperti Syarahan Tokoh
Terkemuka ASM, syarahan umum dan jalinan
sains dengan sekolah melalui National Science
Challenge serta Program Kembali ke Sekolah
ASM.
ASM had undertaken various science communication programme to engage the different
sectors of society in trying to improve public
understanding of science and technology. Among
the programme included the ASM lecture series
such as the ASM Eminent Persons Lectures, public
lectures, and science engagement with schools
through the National Science Challenge as well
as the ASM Back to School Programme.
Pada tahun 2010, menurut sistem pemantauan

were well disseminated and have reached the
intended target audience.
Mengukuhkan Keupayaan STI

ASM juga menguruskan Program Nobel Laureate
yang bertujuan menyediakan platform untuk
komuniti saintifik Malaysia, akademik, penyelidik,
penuntut pasca siswazah dan pelajar yang
akan dibimbing dan belajar daripada saintis
terkemuka terutamanya pemenang Hadiah
Nobel dan pusat kecemerlangan yang diiktiraf
di peringkat global untuk memperoleh inspirasi,
idea, jaringan kerjasama ke arah mencapai
kecemerlangan dalam bidang STI, serta menanda
aras keupayaan mereka dengan saintis terbaik
dunia, ke arah menghasilkan saintis berkaliber
tinggi yang mampu menyumbang kepada
kemajuan komuniti saintifik global serta untuk
faedah manusia sejagat. Sehingga kini, 24 Nobel
Laureate telah menjalankan pelbagai aktiviti di
Malaysia di bawah Program ini. Pada tahun 2011,
ASM menandatangani Hasrat Kerjasama (EoI)
dengan Pertubuhan Eropah bagi Penyelidikan
Nuklear (CERN), Geneva untuk memudahkan
kerjasama penyelidikan dan pembangunan
modal insan. Pemeteraian EoI menyediakan
peluang besar bagi penyelidik dan saintis
muda dari Institusi Pengajian Tinggi dan institut
penyelidikan di Malaysia untuk melibatkan diri
dalam penyelidikan bersama dengan saintis lain
yang melakukan penemuan canggih di CERN
serta berpeluang menerima latihan di CERN.
CERN merupakan salah satu daripada pusat
penyelidikan saintifik yang terbesar dan paling
dihormati di dunia serta menjadi contoh ulung
dalam kerjasama antarabangsa.
Strengthening STI Capabilities

ASM also manages the Nobel Laureate Programme
that aims to provide a platform for the Malaysian
scientific community, academics, researchers,
post-graduates and students to be mentored by
and learn from renowned scientists particularly
Nobel Laureates and globally recognized
centres of excellence to obtain inspiration,
ideas, linkages towards achieving excellence
in STI, as well as to benchmark their capabilities
against the worlds best, towards producing high
calibre scientists capable of contributing to the
advancement of the global scientific community
as well as for the benefit of humanity. To date,
24 Nobel Laureates have conducted various
activities in Malaysia under this Programme. In
2011, ASM signed an Expression of Interest (EoI)
with the European Organization for Nuclear
Research (CERN), Geneva to facilitate research
collaboration and human capital development.
The signing of the EoI provides a tremendous
opportunity for researchers and young scientists
from Malaysian institutions of higher learning and
research institutes to be involved in joint research
with other scientists who are making cutting edge
discoveries at CERN as well as be trained through
attachments at CERN. CERN is one of the worlds
largest and most respected centres for scientific
research that has become a premier example of
international collaboration.
