Chairman’s Overview Strengthening the Grid Over the last two decades, Malaysia has experienced a substantial increase in energy consumption, with electricity demand per person rising from 1,460kWh in 1993 to 4,110kWh in 2013. Rapid economic growth leading to an increase in industrial output and demand for electricity contributed to this. As a visible outcome of a higher standard of living, more people now own and use energy-consuming technology-based appliances and devices. Urbanisation and commercialisation have also increased electricity consumption, particularly with more offices, factories, shopping malls and other entertainment outlets in operation. The National Grid – the Peninsula-wide transmission network which acts as a super-highway for electricity – plays a vital role in delivering this energy demand. It encompass the southern region and run from Yong Peng connects more than 420 major substations to 11,000 East in Johor to Lenggeng in Negeri Sembilan, thus km of transmission lines, linking them together into completing what has been described as ‘the missing a single delivery system. As part of our mandate to link’. The other stretch will be the second corridor from regulate the safe and steady supply of electricity, the Air Tawar in Perak to Bentong South in Pahang. Energy Commission plays a key role in the planning and operations of the National Grid. Both these projects are expected to be completed by 2019, and will increase the efficiency of electricity To coordinate the performance of these functions, transmission. At present, the main challenge is to Energy Commission chairs the Grid Code Committee obtain approval on land matters as the lines run (GCC) which oversees and ensures compliance with through different states. Another means by which we the Malaysian Grid Code, and is also tasked with are ensuring adequate supply of energy is through maintaining safe, reliable and secure provision of signing power exchange agreements with Thailand power throughout Peninsular Malaysia. Admittedly, and Singapore which would facilitate buying the grid has encountered a few incidents from the and selling electricity as and when we need. This time it was set up in the 1960s.

Malaysia aims to move working with other stakeholders to continually forward rapidly, and the Energy Commission is strengthen the National Grid by making sure that determined that there is sufficient power to fuel this there is enough generation capacity, and upgrading national ambition. the delivery system to cater for projected normal operations as well as foreseeable abnormalities.

Integration: The ulturC al Politics Of Migration And Nation In The ewN German Public Abstract This dissertation examines public discourse on culture and integration and asks how do mediated public discussions about integration reproduce norms of national culture and identity that operate to represent and manage “Other” (immigrant, minority, etc.) populations in the German context? Through a case study approach, this dissertation uses critical discourse theory to analyze public campaigns, media events, and mediated controversies since the mid-2000s that sought to define the qualifications for cultural citizenship. Although in recent years an increasing number of publications have addressed Germany’s diverse and transnational population, examinations of processes and policies of integration have tended to focus either on the level of the government or on the level of everyday life. Although ideas about integration and multiculturalism are predominantly forged through events and the surrounding representations in the media, the mid-level processes of the media sphere have been neglected in scholarship.
