00:00as I'm a fervent believer that our young people will be the custodians of
00:05tomorrow's sustainable energy landscape. They are the visionaries, the problem
00:12solvers, and agents of change. It is therefore incumbent upon us that those in
00:19position of influence and authority must empower these young minds to seize the
00:26opportunity and guide us to the brighter future for all of us. Ladies and
00:34gentlemen, while Malaysia has historically relied on fossil fuels, we
00:39now recognize the imperative to pivot towards clean energy resolutions. As we
00:45embark on this energy transition journey, it is our duty to ensure that this
00:51endeavor is equitable and inclusive. We acknowledge that this is a generational
00:57challenge, one that may alter perspectives, transform business
01:03practices, and render many jobs obsolete. However, by identifying
01:10transferable skills and implementing comprehensive rescaling and upscaling
01:15initiatives, we can ensure that no one is left behind. To facilitate this
01:22transition effectively, we must engage in focused and intentional training
01:29initiative. The challenges surrounding competency gaps and the impacts on
01:35efficiency and productivity in our industry have been well documented. As
01:42such, we must overhaul our talent development strategies by reconfiguring
01:48a system to promote upscaling and rescaling at every level. This is not
01:54merely about filling positions, but strategically cultivating a sustainable
02:00talent pipeline, particularly amongst our youth. So ladies and gentlemen, as
02:08Malaysia confronts the challenges and opportunities presented by the evolving
02:13energy landscape, to fully transition to a greener future, we must cultivate an
02:19energy literate society by understanding energy supply, sources,
02:25consumption patterns, and the environmental implication of each
02:30decision of our choices. Recognizing this need, the Matadi government has
02:36established the Malaysia Energy Literacy Program, or in short MELP, an
02:42initiative aimed at educating our citizens with reliable energy
02:47information and fostering a community of informed decision makers ready to
02:54advocate energy sustainability.
