  • Marine Renewable Energy Legal Framework in Malaysia: a Way Forward
    Journal of Sustainability Science and Management eISSN: 2672-7226 Volume 15 Number 3, April 2020: 101-112 © Penerbit UMT MARINE RENEWABLE ENERGY LEGAL FRAMEWORK IN MALAYSIA: A WAY FORWARD FARAHDILAH GHAZALI*1 AND MAIZATUN MUSTAFA2 1Institute of Oceanagraphy and Environment, Universiti Malaysia Terengganu, 21030 Kuala Nerus, Terengganu, Malaysia. 2Ahmad Ibrahim Kulliyyah of Laws, International Islamic University Malaysia, Jalan Gombak, 53100 Selangor, Malaysia. *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract: Being a nation that is surrounded by seas, Malaysia is seen to have the potential to harness energy from the sea. At present, renewable energy is already considered to be an important focus within the country’s low emissions strategy particularly through the enforcement of the Renewable Energy Act 2011. However, the scope of this Act is inadequate to include energy from the sea as it is confined only to eligible renewable energy sources under the feed-in tariff scheme. The objective of this paper is to highlight the legal and regulatory requirements governing marine renewable energy development in Malaysia particularly in sustainably capturing tidal and wave potential. As an alternative, this paper explores the viability of ocean energy as another source of renewable energy. The paper adopts a doctrinal approach and suggests some measures within the law and policy which when considered would help towards the development of marine renewable energy. The authors recommend for Malaysia to adopt the Nova Scotia’s legal framework. This model could well be applied provided that there is a strong political will and policy drivers to achieve the national objectives in accelerating renewable energy sector, particularly from marine sources.

    Jebat: Malaysian Journal of History, Politics & Strategy, Vol. 40 (1) (July 2013): 1-20 @ School of History, Politics & Strategy, UKM; ISSN 2180-0251 (electronic), 0126-5644 (paper) A RAHMAN TANG Abdullah Universiti Malaysia Sabah REVISITING THE WATER ISSUE ACROSS THE CAUSEWAY: THE ORIGINS OF WATER SUPPLY FROM JOHOR TO SINGAPORE (1904-32) This article discusses the origins and historical development of the water supply between Johor and Singapore from 1904 to 1932. It reveals the events that preceded the formative stages of the water-supply scheme; analyses the 1927 water agreement and its implications; and examines the dynamics of water supply to Singapore before the Second World War. It demonstrates that the political framework underpinning the supply of water between the two countries has been determined in favour of Singapore as a matter of colonial legacy. Singapore has traditionally enjoyed a strategic advantage over Johor because the former was more developed, a fact that resulted in part from the British authorities’ prioritisation and promotion of the island as the seat of their imperial power in Southeast Asia during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. As a result, Singapore flourished, becoming more prosperous than her neighbouring states by generating surplus revenue from their economic resources on the strength of their capitalist framework. Consequently, Singapore was able to exploit the water deal to her advantage during the colonial period. Despite the importance of the water deal in the two countries history, it has not been discussed by historians whose writings tend to focus on water issues post-1961. Keywords: water supply, waterworks, Johor, Singapore, causeway Introduction Most of the existing writings on the water supply between Johor and Singapore are focused on contemporary developments.

  • Dam Operation Under Changing Climate: Analysing Water Availability and Hydropower Production from Murum Dam in Sarawak
    K. W. Yusof, et al., Int. J. Sus. Dev. Plann. Vol. 14, No. 3 (2019) 237–244 DAM OPERATION UNDER CHANGING CLIMATE: ANALYSING WATER AVAILABILITY AND HYDRopowER PRODUCTION FROM MURUM DAM IN SARAWAK KHAMARUZAMAN WAN YUSOF1, MUBASHER HUSSAIN2 & MUHAMMAD RAZA UL MUSTAFA1 1 Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS, Sri Iskandar, Malaysia. 2 Hydro Department, Sarawak Energy Berhad, Kuching, Malaysia. ABSTRACT In this study, we assessed the climate change impact on water resources availability and hydropower energy yield from the Murum Dam in Sarawak state of Malaysia. Precipitation ensembles of three general circulation models from Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) were used to simulate daily inflows at Murum Dam for the historical period of 1976–2015 and for the future period of 2011–2100 under two future scenarios (RCP4.5 and RCP8.5). A rainfall-runoff model was developed using Australian Water Balance Model approach to simulate river inflows atM urum Dam. Reservoir operation model was developed using HEC-ResSim to simulate the operation for Murum Reservoir under the historical and future projected inflows. It is noted that the mean river inflow at Murum Dam would increase by 4% and 11% during 2080s under RCP4.5 and RCP8.5, respectively. Similar results are noted while simulating the Murum reservoir operation; it is noted that the average annual energy from Murum Hydroelectric Plant would increase by 5% and 12% during 2080s under RCP4.5 and RCP8.5, respectively. Keywords: climate change, hydropower, reservoir operation, Sarawak, water resources. 1 INTRODUCTION Hydropower is the major source of global renewable energy production as it is the most eco- nomical source of renewable energy.
