The keynote speech discusses Malaysia's rural electrification efforts through renewable micro grids. It provides background on Malaysia's rural development journey since independence, outlining various national policies to improve rural infrastructure including electrification. TNB's perspective is presented, highlighting its extensive experience providing renewable micro grids using solar hybrid, mini hydro and biomass systems across rural and island communities in Malaysia since the 1970s. Challenges and the benefits of micro grids for reliable and cost-effective rural electrification are discussed.

sustainable by the
year 2020.
• Continuation of NEP’s
strategy, with a focus
on balanced growth,
elimination of social
and economic
disparity and national
integration, among
others
• Human capital
development being
given priority as a
means to increase
socio-economic
wellbeing
• Streamlining and
rationalizing roles of
Agencies
• Aimed at national
integration through
poverty eradication
and economic
restructuring to
eliminate the
identification of
ethnicity with

• Creation of new
agencies
• New land
development/In-situ
• Resulted in increased
economic growth, but
the socio-economic
engineering process
needed more time
Pre-New Economic
Policy (Growth)
• Developing the
economy focusing on
rural sector – RED
