00:00I'm Mohd Ikwan bin Maksaleh, 44 years old, from Pontyan, Johor.
00:13Now I work at the Institute Kemahiran Mara, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah.
00:17The product of my innovation, me and my team,
00:20is based on our own electrical equipment.
00:23We call it Portable Hydro Electric.
00:26We make products such as mini-hydro,
00:29which can supply electricity in a small amount.
00:34It's enough to illuminate houses or hills by the river.
00:41The idea for this innovation project came to me
00:45when I went to an area in the Sabah desert.
00:49I saw a place where there are still settlements
00:53near the river that don't have electricity.
00:57They live in the dark at night.
00:59There are many beautiful rivers in Sabah.
01:01Most of my team likes to camp.
01:05When we camp, it's hard to find a source of electricity
01:09to illuminate our night.
01:11The battery and the handphone are running out of battery.
01:15It's dark at night.
01:17Is there a light?
01:19There's no light.
01:21What do we do?
01:22We don't have a light.
01:24So, what do we do?
01:26The idea for Portable Hydro Electric came to me
01:32when I saw a place where there are still settlements
01:36near the river that don't have electricity.
01:40It's hard to find a source of electricity
01:43to illuminate our night.
01:45Portable Hydro Electric
01:48At first, we only used disposable items.
01:53We used motorbikes from outdoor air-conditioning.
01:56We used used iron.
01:58We only bought bridge rectifiers.
02:01We tried to shape the project
02:04to be used in the river.
02:06Portable Hydro Electric
02:11I don't deny that there are a lot of products
02:16like solar lamps and solar spoilers that are being sold.
02:20But the products that we produce
02:22might be a choice.
02:24For example, solar products use batteries.
02:27Batteries have a life span.
02:29Our products, Portable Hydro Electric, are easy to use.
02:32It can be used day and night.
02:35It can be used 24 hours a day
02:37without batteries.
02:47My hope is that my products
02:50can encourage people
02:52to contribute new ideas
02:55for the sustainability of the country in the global world.
