Kuala Lumpur, November 18 – Leveraging Malaysia’s heavy rainfall as part of its sustainability strategies, the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (the Centre) reveals its newly installed zero-energy rainwater harvesting system, designed by its own team member.
Designed to effectively utilise the Centre’s architecture, the gravity-reliant system is comprised of four 300-gallon tanks constructed on the venue’s rooftop with the potential of harvesting up to 60,000 gallons of rain water a year. The collected water will primarily be used for day-to-day and post-event housekeeping works such as cleaning of loading bays and to provide non-chlorinated water to plants.
The Centre’s General Manager, Alan Pryor, said, “Water scarcity is a global problem and Malaysia is fortunate, due to its geographic location, to have a robust natural resource as a counter measure. We experience a high rate of rainfall thanks to the tropical rainforests and seasonal wind shifts which presents us with opportunities to derive sustainable solutions.”
The Centre’s Director of Facilities, Yugatheeswaran Arjunan, said, “The successful installation of this rainwater harvesting system is the realisation of our long-time dream. When first conceived about ten years ago, our biggest challenges were around cost and energy-efficiency. Our energy manager, Vikneswaran Murgaiah, designed a system that leverages gravitational energy making it not only 100% energy efficient but also cost-friendly, reducing almost 80% of the initial quotation. Since its installation, we have saved 5% of tap-water consumption used for our operational and maintenance activities.”
The global society’s shift towards a more socially conscious and responsible lifestyle is reflected in delegates and participants’ decision to choose events that have a powerful sustainable agenda over those with minimal social impact or none. As a result, having a strong sustainability policy and programme has transitioned into a critical requirement when organisers consider a venue from a cherry-on-top-of-the-cake mind set.
Pryor continued, “The industry requires an end-to-end approach in addressing this global change towards sustainable living and business. Venues have a fundamental role in helping the supply chain deliver to this need. This rainwater harvesting system is one of the many initiatives we have rolled out in achieving our sustainability goals that are aligned to the city’s developmental strategies, aimed at making Kuala Lumpur a world-class sustainable city.”
As an infrastructure asset for the capital city and Malaysia’s premier venue, the Centre constantly looks to transform the way it conducts business to be on par with the international standards of the business events industry.
“This installation, a pilot project with plans for expansion to increase savings, has inspired further interest within the KLCC precinct for wider implementation, with the desire of making the entire city-within-a-city development comprised of 5-star hotels and restaurants, world-class meetings and events venue, popular premium lifestyle and entertainment outlets, a sustainable destination for business and leisure travellers alike,” concluded Pryor.
NI (Nasdaq: NATI) has donated RM830,000 to Penang Science Cluster (PSC), an industry-led initiative, in collaboration with the Penang state government. This amount will be distributed over the next four years to fund the Girls in Engineering and Tech (GET) Program following the successful completion of a pilot program this year.
The GET Program will be an annual program providing participants with 21st century capabilities including technical skills, soft skills, and character development. It is designed to encourage girls to pursue their studies and career pathways in engineering and technology and provide a long-term and sustainable supply of female students in both engineering and technology. This donation is aligned with NI’s “Changing the Faces of Engineering” policy, which is part of its 2030 Corporate Impact Strategy.
“This initiative is well aligned to our purpose in making a difference in the community where we live and work. I’m also excited to strengthen our collaboration with PSC to run and evolve the GET Program together,” said Selvam Chinappan, Managing Director of NI Malaysia Sdn Bhd and Sr Director for APAC Manufacturing.
“Penang Science Cluster is grateful for this grant from NI. We are proud to collaborate with NI to significantly benefit and inspire our female students in Penang and Malaysia to pursue their studies and future careers in engineering and technology,” said Ooi Peng Ee, CEO of PSC.
This announcement was made at the commencement ceremony for the construction of NI Malaysia’s new supply chain distribution hub that is expected to be completed in Q2 2022. The construction project is part of the broad-based expansion that NI announced in November 2019, and includes $40 million USD (RM170 million) in capital investment and the creation of 250 new jobs across research and development (R&D), manufacturing and sales capabilities.

Kuala Lumpur 17 November, 2021 – School going children from PPR Desa Rejang Setapak received health supplements to build strong body defence in light of the current situation. This was made possible as Amway Malaysia, a health and wellness company embarked on a programme with the Department of Social Welfare. The initiative was aimed at improving children’s body defence while empowering urban families on the importance of strengthening natural resistance and growth development.
Some 100 children from PPR Desa Rejang Setapak received close to 200 Nutrilite™ health supplements from Amway. They will continue to receive the supplements for a period of six months.
“We hope this initiative will help strengthen the children’s natural defence and growth development as well as contribute towards their overall health during this pandemic. As children have begun going back to school, and the rolling out of the COVID-19 vaccination plan for kids under 12 years old has not been finalised, we still need to be vigilant and protect our young children. Even if they are vaccinated, they will still need to have strong body defence,” added Mike Duong, Managing Director of Amway Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei.
“Guided by our vision of helping people live better lives, Amway believes in the importance of supporting and making a difference in the lives of the community where we operate. Amway is committed to this partnership with the Department of Social Welfare to help support the PPR community in an effort to build a healthy society,” he added.
Through November 2021, Malaysia has recorded over 340,000 children COVID-19 cases, which raises concerns on the pandemic’s long term effect on children’s health and growth development. Amway’s partnership with the Department of Social Welfare is very relevant in ensuring the children stay healthy and safe.
“We are very grateful to have Amway Malaysia support the Department of Social Welfare in our effort to reach out and care for these children, especially during this time when they are not protected and have to attend school physically. We believe by enhancing the children’s immune system it would be beneficial to these children and their overall health,” said Che Samsuzuki bin Che Noh, Director, Department of Social Welfare.
The pilot programme involved 35 families from PPR Desa Rejang Setapak. During the presentation of the Nutrilite™ health supplements, the Amway team shared the importance of building stronger immunity and knowledge of eating healthier to reduce the risk of infection.
“I am very thankful to Amway Malaysia for guiding us to live healthier and sensibly. This initiative to provide extra protection to our children with credible products and to ensure they have stronger body defence to live beyond the pandemic is truly appreciated. It is good to know that people do care about us.” Siti Rozaini Binti Hassan, a 39 year old mom from PPR Desa Rejang Setapak shared.
“I was very concerned about my kid having to go to school. Now with this contribution to help boost his immunity, I am relieved that he is getting the right protection. Thank you Amway for helping us.” Fazila, a mum aged 39 who benefited from the program commented.
Nutrilite Bio C Plus All Day Formula, Nutrilite Botanical Beverage Mix Cherry With Licorice & Turmeric, and Nutrilite Kids Flavoured Gummy With DHA were some of the Nutrilite™ health supplements presented. These products are ensured to be pure, safe and effective as all the ingredients in the Nutrilite™ range of products are traced. Hence, consumers will be aware of where the dietary supplements come from and how they are made.
Amway has collaborated with the Department of Social Welfare since the 1980s. The company funded the RM555,000 project to build six foster home units in Kuala Selangor. Over the years, Amway and the Department of Social Welfare have worked on various projects namely, One by One Programme, Projek HeadSTART, and many corporate social responsibility initiatives to reach out to impacted families within the community.
As COP26 ends in Glasgow, there could be growing pressure on companies to review their objects and for joint ventures to review their goals. Malaysian regulators such as the Securities Commission and Bursa Malaysia are already thinking of setting higher standards of disclosures in relation to ESG and sustainability for listed companies.
The need for objects clause in companies’ constitutional documents has been removed in many jurisdictions around the world (including in Malaysia with our Companies Act, 2016) but companies are usually allowed to self-impose their own objects.
