Speech by Prime Minister, Dato’ Sri Mohd Najib Bin Tun Haji Abdul Razak for Malaysia Green Forum 2010 at Sri Siantan Conference hall, Putrajaya (April 26, 2010)

Dato’ Sri Mohd Najib Bin Tun Haji Abdul Razak said his presence here allows the government with an opportunity to reiterate its resounding commitment towards environmental sustainability in the country. The forum’s aim of establishing an action‐oriented network that deals with environmental issues in a holistic manner is indeed refreshing and most welcomed.

According to Dato’ Sri Mohd Najib Bin Tun Haji Abdul Razak, We are one of the earliest nations in the world to have adopted a serious concern towards our environment by enacting the Environment Quality Act way back in 1974. Likewise the very concept of sustainability was an integral part of our Third Malaysia Plan, even before the idea of Sustainable Development was popularized in the late eighties by the Brundtland Report. In this regard, he would like to recognize the critical contribution by Yang Amat Berbahagia Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi for bringing together 14 agencies from 4 different ministries when he established the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment in 2004 that paved the way for a more comprehensive and cohesive approach in tackling environmental issues.

Indeed, the government has consistently affirmed its commitment to environmental

sustainability over the years and I pledge to continue this throughout my administration. Only

six days after taking office, i announced the formation of the Ministry of Energy, Green

Technology and Water. The government continues to take cognizance of the growing need and urgency of green technology towards sustainable development. Hence the National Green

Technology Policy was launched last year, just 106 days after the setting up of the said ministry. A technical arm called The National Green Technology Center also came to being through a restructuring exercise of the then Malaysia Energy Centre. He said.

Dato’ Sri Mohd Najib Bin Tun Haji Abdul Razak would like to praise the organizers of Malaysia Green Forum 2010 for taking the initiative to organize this noble conference. His appreciation also to the forum partners Sime Darby Berhad, UEM Group Berhad and TSR Capital Berhad for coming forward to demonstrate your corporate social responsibility in supporting this forum.

All information is obtained from the Alaska Tsunami Warning Center. George Carts is a seismologist at the center.

Aleutian Islands, a strong earthquake hit Aleutian Islands Sunday night.

Alaska Tsunami Warning Center reported it measured 6.6 on Richter scale and shook three Aleutian Island fishing villages, Nikolski, Dutch Harbor and Unalaska, for three minutes. Richter scale measures ground motion and is recorded on seismographs; each increase of one number means a tenfold increase in magnitude; example, 7.5 is 10 times greater than 6.5.  It was epicenter in the North Pacific about 40 miles east of the village of Nikolski and 850 miles southwest of Anchorage.

There were no physical injuries or major damage from the strong quake. "There was some very minor damage at Nikolski, with items knocked off shelves and small items damaged." Source: George Carts.

Carts said the quake was felt strongly in the towns of Unalaska, Dutch Harbor and Nikolski. These three fishing villages are located on western islands in the Aleutian chain.

Official categories said 3.5 can cause slight damage; 4, moderate damage; 5, considerable damage; 6, severe damage; 7, major earthquake, can cause widespread heavy damage; 8, great quake. The earthquake of 6.6 magnitude can cause severe damage if it hits populated areas but luckily Aleutians are sparsely settled when quake hit at 7:01 p.m. PST

About 20 aftershocks; one measured 5.0 on the scale. None was powerful enough to cause a tsunami, officials said.

She had testified she went to see her daughter in Vietnam and met a friend “Dwi” who asked her to carry two bags on her flight to Penang, to be passed to another friend. “Her story makes no sense and I don’t think her friend ‘Dwi’ even exists,” the English daily quoted the judge, Mohd Amin Firdaus Abdullah, as saying.
