Tahun 2011 pasti tercatat dalam lipatan sejarah sebagai tahun yang menyaksikan pelbagai ketidaktentuan di dunia. Bencana nuklear Fukushima, contohnya, mencetuskan lebih banyak keraguan mengenai bahan api nuklear sebagai sumber tenaga yang berpotensi bagi dunia. Banyak negara sudah berundur daripada agenda nuklear mereka. Kebuntuan ekonomi di Kesatuan Eropah (EU) yang timbul daripada krisis hutang yang meruncing di Greece adalah satu lagi tamparan kepada ekonomi dunia kerana dunia masih bergelut untuk pulih daripada krisis kewangan global yang bermula pada tahun 2008. Kejatuhan ekonomi yang melanda Greece menunjukkan tanda merebak ke negara anggota EU yang lain seperti Ireland dan Portugal. Malah, terdapat perbincangan mengenai rombakan keseluruhan EU. Mujurlah, ekonomi dunia masih bernasib baik; Amerika Syarikat yang sudah beberapa tahun mencuri tumpuan dunia kerana kemelesetan ekonominya sudah menunjukkan tanda pemulihan walaupun lemah. Sekiranya bukan kerana pencapaian kukuh negara gergasi Asia, terutamanya China dan India, penganalisis ekonomi percaya ekonomi dunia sudah pastinya menuju ke ambang kiamat ekonomi. Ramai kini melihat Asia sebagai kuasa ekonomi dunia pada tahun mendatang.

2011 must surely go down in history as a year when there were many uncertainties in the world. The Fukushima nuclear disaster, for example, created more doubts on nuclear fuel as a potential energy source for the world. Many countries have backtracked on their nuclear agenda. The economic stalemate in the European Union (EU) arising from the troubling debt crisis in Greece was another blow to the world economy as it struggled to recover from the financial setback of 2008. The Greek debacle was showing signs of spreading to other EU member countries such as Ireland and Portugal. There were even discussions about dismantling the entire EU. Fortunately for the world economy; the USA, which has for a number of years been hogging the limelight for its economic malaise, was showing signs of recovery albeit weak. If not for the robust performance of the Asian giants, principally China and India, analysts agree that the world economy would have gone the path of an economic Armageddon. Many now see Asia as the economic powerhouse of the world in the coming years. Annual Report 2011

Message from the President

Gelombang kebangkitan yang berlaku di Timur Tengah, digelar “Musim Bunga Arab”, langsung tidak membantu pemulihan ekonomi dunia. Sebagai wilayah yang membekalkan sebahagian besar permintaan minyak dan gas dunia, ketegangan sebegitu membimbangkan kerana ia boleh menyumbang kepada pergerakan yang tidak diingini dalam harga minyak global. Keadaan ekonomi Barat yang lembab turut memberi kesan kepada Malaysia terutamanya daripada segi permintaan eksport yang menurun di beberapa pasaran utama Barat. Walau bagaimanapun, kesan daripada permintaan domestik yang kukuh, negara berjaya menunjukkan pertumbuhan ekonomi meyakinkan lebih daripada 5% pada tahun ini. Tetapi, yang menjadi persoalan, berapa lamakah pertumbuhan ekonomi negara dapat dikekalkan dengan pelbagai krisis yang berterusan menimpa dunia? Bolehkah sains dan teknologi menyumbang kepada kelestarian pertumbuhan Malaysia pada masa hadapan?

The social flare-ups in the Middle East, dubbed the “Arab Spring”, were of no help to the global economy. Being a region which supplies the bulk of the world’s oil and gas demands, such tension was worrying given the fact that it could contribute to unwanted movement in global oil prices. The economic slumber in the West did affect Malaysia to some extent especially in terms of declining export demand in some major Western markets. However, thanks to robust domestic demand, the nation managed to show a credible economic growth of more than 5% for the year. But, the questions before us are, for how long will the country’s growth be sustained in the face of the many crises that continue to confront the world? Can science and technology contribute towards sustaining Malaysia’s growth going into the future?

Perubahan Iklim Tidak dinafikan pelbagai krisis berlaku di peringkat global pada dekad yang lalu. Krisis iklim yang dipercayai benar oleh saintis masih belum menunjukkan tanda surut. Dunia masih belum mencapai kata sepakat mengenai langkah pengurangan. Ancaman terhadap biodiversiti sebagai kesan perubahan iklim kekal menjadi kebimbangan dunia. Keselamatan bahan api dan tenaga, ketersediaan makanan dan kelestarian air adalah antara cabaran yang menuntut penyelesaian berkekalan dan boleh dipercayai. Kita boleh menambah senarai ini dengan ketidakstabilan berterusan dalam sistem kewangan dan pencapaian suram ekonomi global secara menyeluruh. Tidak hairanlah ramai yang tidak optimis tentang masa hadapan.

Climate Change There is no denying that numerous crises at the global level have sprung up during the last decade. The climate crisis, which scientists believe is for real, has yet to show signs of abating. The world has yet to agree on mitigation measures. Threats to biodiversity, as a consequence of climate change, remain a growing concern for the world. Fuel and energy security, food availability and water sustainability are the other challenges begging for lasting and credible solutions. We can add to the list the continuing instability in the financial system and the lacklustre performance of the global economy as a whole. It is no wonder that many are not optimistic about the future.

Pada tahun ini, ASM menganjurkan beberapa sesi dialog untuk membincangkan penyelesaian yang mungkin dalam menangani isu tersebut bagi negara. Prosiding bagi beberapa wacana ini diterbitkan dan diedarkan untuk penggunaan awam. Monograf berkaitan perubahan iklim termasuk: pengurangan risiko bencana; senario perubahan iklim; impak kesihatan; cabaran bagi pertanian dan keselamatan makanan; angkasa; kelestarian perhutanan; R&D dan isu dasar. ASM juga bekerjasama dengan ICSU dalam penganjuran Bengkel Rio+20 untuk mengumpul input kebangsaan bagi sidang kemuncak itu.

During the year, ASM anchored a number of engaging dialogues to deliberate on possible solutions to such issues for the nation. The proceedings of some of these discourses have been published and disseminated for public consumption. Monographs related to climate change include: disaster risk reduction; climate change scenarios; health impacts; challenges for agriculture and food security; space; sustainable forestry, R&D and policy issues. ASM also co-operated with ICSU to organise the Rio+20 Workshop in order to garner national input for the summit.

Masyarakat dunia bersetuju bahawa mempercepatkan pelepasan gas rumah hijau tidak memberi kesan baik kepada dunia. Ancaman kepada iklim global berpotensi membahayakan

There is agreement worldwide that accelerating greenhouse gas emissions do not augur well for the world. The threat to the global climate can be potentially disastrous for mankind. A major

manusia sejagat. Penyumbang utama terletak pada penguasaan penggunaan bahan api fosil untuk memenuhi permintaan tenaga dunia. Tahun 2011 menyaksikan R&D yang aktif di pelbagai pusat kecemerlangan saintifik di dunia. Pencarian alternatif, terutamanya pembangunan tenaga boleh diperbaharui, menjadi keutamaan penting bagi kebanyakan negara. Laporan oleh Program Alam Sekitar Pertubuhan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu menyatakan pelaburan global dalam tenaga hijau meningkat hampir satu pertiga mencecah USD211 bilion pada tahun 2010. Ladang angin di China dan panel suria bumbung berskala kecil di Eropah banyak menyumbang kepada peningkatan pelaburan itu. Tenaga solar skala kecil di Eropah meningkat disebabkan oleh tarif galakan, terutamanya di Jerman, ditambah dengan kejatuhan mendadak dalam kos modul fotovolta serta keputusan Kerajaan Jerman untuk mengurangkan penggunaaan tenaga nuklear sebagai sumber tenaga elektrik.

contributor lies in the dominating use of fossil fuels to satisfy the world’s demand for energy. 2011 witnessed active R&D in many centres of scientific excellence in the world. The search for alternatives, especially the development of renewable energy, was of high priority in many countries. It has been reported by the United Nations Environment Programme that global investments in green energy were up by nearly a third to reach USD211 billion in 2010. Wind farms in China and small-scale solar panels on rooftops in Europe were largely responsible for the rise in investments. Europe’s small-scale solar energy boom owed much to feed-in tariffs, particularly in Germany, combined with a sharp fall in the cost of photovoltaic modules as well as on the German Government’s decision to scale back on nuclear power as a source of electrical energy.

Kejutan harga bahan api pada tahun 2008, dan kenaikan berkaitan harga makanan dan komoditi, kedua-duanya menandakan kelemahan struktur dan risiko dalam pasaran dunia yang masih belum selesai. Terdapat peningkatan permintaan bahan api, seperti yang diramalkan oleh Agensi Tenaga Antarabangsa dan lain-lain, serta melaporkan “kebergantungan berterusan kepada minyak dan bahan api fosil lain dan harga tenaga yang lebih tinggi pada masa akan datang”, tatkala ekonomi dunia bergelut untuk pulih dan berkembang.

The fuel price shock of 2008, and a related flare up in food and commodity prices, both indicate structural weaknesses and risks in the world market which still remain unresolved. There is a rising demand for fuel, as forecasted by the International Energy Agency and others. They had reported “an on-going dependence on oil and other fossil fuel and much higher energy prices to come”, as the world economy struggles to recover and grow.

Tidak dinafikan perubahan iklim merupakan salah satu cabaran hebat pada abad ke-21. Ia adalah ancaman sebenar dan semakin berkembang. Kesannya sudah dapat dirasakan di seluruh dunia. Ini dapat dilihat menerusi peningkatan frekuensi dan intensiti keadaan cuaca ekstrem seperti gelombang panas, kemarau teruk, banjir yang mengakibatkan kemusnahan luar biasa dan siklon tropika dalam beberapa dekad kebelakangan ini. Perubahan iklim juga memburukkan lagi kekurangan bekalan air, mengekang pengeluaran pertanian dan mengancam keselamatan makanan. Ia juga menyebabkan kebakaran hutan, degradasi pantai serta meningkatkan risiko kesihatan. Maka, perubahan iklim kemungkinan besar akan menjejaskan usaha dunia dalam mewujudkan pembangunan lestari melainkan tindakan segera diambil untuk mengurangkan tahap pelepasan gas rumah hijau.

Climate change is undoubtedly one of the greatest challenges of the 21st century. It is a real and growing threat. Its impacts have already been felt worldwide. This is reflected by the increasing frequency and intensity of extreme weather conditions such as heat waves, chronic drought, unusually devastating floods and tropical cyclones in recent decades. Climate change is also exacerbating water shortages, constraining agricultural production and threatening food security. It is also causing forest fires, coastal degradation as well as increasing health risks. Thus, climate change is likely to affect the world’s quest for sustainable development unless action is taken soon to reduce the levels of greenhouse gases.

Malaysia sebagai sebahagian daripada masyarakat global tidak kebal kepada perubahan iklim; lebih-lebih lagi dengan garis pantai yang panjang, penumpuan penduduk dan aktiviti ekonomi yang tinggi di kawasan pantai; dan kebergantungan yang tinggi pada pertanian, sumber asli dan perhutanan. Langkah adaptif seperti penyimpanan dan pemuliharaan air,

Malaysia being part of the global community is not immune to climate change; more so with her long coastlines, high concentration of population and economic activity in coastal areas; and heavy reliance on agriculture, natural resources, and forestry. Adaptive measures such as storing and conserving water, engineering new plant

kepelbagaian loji baharu kejuruteraan yang boleh bertahan dengan cuaca ekstrem, menanam lebih banyak spesies hutan tahan kemarau yang efisien dalam pensekuesteran karbon, mempunyai sistem kesihatan awam yang efisien dan protokol perancangan yang efektif dalam projek pembangunan yang mengurangkan impak perubahan iklim adalah strategi utama yang memerlukan penilaian terperinci.

varieties that can withstand extreme weather, planting more drought tolerant forest species that are efficient in carbon sequestration, having an efficient public health system and an effective planning protocol in development projects that minimise the impacts of climate change are key strategies that require detailed evaluation.

ASM pada tahun 2011 menjalankan beberapa wacana saintifik untuk membincangkan impak perubahan iklim kepada kesejahteraan sosioekonomi Malaysia. Perbincangan tertumpu kepada langkah mitigasi dan penyesuaian sebagai tindak balas kepada perubahan iklim. Laporan mengenai perubahan iklim dan air juga dihasilkan pada tahun ini. Kajian Rangka Kerja Sains Mega bagi Pembangunan Kebangsaan Berterusan (2010–2050), dimulakan untuk mengenal pasti peluang S&T serta menyediakan cadangan mengenai sub-sektor yang perlu diberi fokus oleh Malaysia, menyediakan penilaian masa hadapan beberapa sektor utama negara, juga menyentuh impak pola cuaca ekstrem yang memberi kesan kepada beberapa sektor. Empat laporan mengenai air, tenaga, kesihatan dan pertanian yang dihantar kepada kerajaan pada tahun ini termasuk perbincangan mengenai implikasi perubahan iklim terhadap sektor itu. Ekspedisi saintifik yang dijalankan oleh Felo ASM di beberapa lokasi bio-pelbagai di dalam negara melaporkan beberapa penilaian kualitatif mengenai impak perubahan iklim terhadap landskap dan geologi, flora dan fauna, hidupan akuatik, eko-pelancongan dan masyarakat tempatan. Walau bagaimanapun, masih jelas banyak usaha perlu dilakukan bagi membangunkan penyelesaian berdaya maju untuk memerangi impak berpotensi perubahan iklim kepada sumber negara.

ASM in 2011 undertook a number of scientific discourses to deliberate on the impact of climate change on Malaysia’s socio-economic well-being. Discussions centred on mitigation and adaptation measures as responses to climate change. A report on climate change and water was produced during the year. The Mega Science Framework Study on Sustained National Development (2010– 2050) was initiated to identify S&T opportunities as well as providing recommendations on which sub-sectors for Malaysia to focus. It provides an assessment of the future of some key sectors of the country, also touching on the impact of extreme weather patterns impacting some sectors. The four reports on water, energy, health and agriculture which were submitted to the government during the year included discussions on the implications of climate change on the sectors. Scientific expeditions undertaken by ASM Fellows to some bio-diverse locations in the country have reported some qualitative assessment on the impacts of climate change on landscape and geology, flora and fauna, aquatic life, eco-tourism and the local community. However, it is clear more work is needed to develop viable solutions to combat the potential impact of climate change on the country’s resources.

Keselamatan Makanan Keselamatan Makanan terus menjadi isu yang membimbangkan dunia. Kebetulan, Anugerah Sains Mahathir 2011 oleh ASM yang diberikan kepada penyelidik cemerlang yang berjaya membuat penemuan saintifik yang diiktiraf di peringkat antarabangsa dalam sektor pertanian tropika, dianugerahkan kepada Prof Yuan LongPing, “Bapa beras hibrid”. Usaha beliau bukan sahaja mengubah China daripada sebuah negara yang kekurangan bekalan makanan menjadi negara yang mencukupi bekalan makanannya dalam masa tiga dekad, malah teknik beras hibrid beliau juga dikomersilkan di seluruh Asia, Afrika dan Amerika.

Food Security Food Security continues to be an issue of concern to the world. Coincidently, the Academy’s 2011 Mahathir Science Award, which is given to outstanding researchers who have made internationally recognised scientific breakthroughs in tropical agriculture, was bestowed on Prof Yuan LongPing, the “Father of hybrid rice”. His efforts not only transformed China from a food deficiency country to that of a food sufficient nation within three decades, but also his techniques for hybrid rice have been commercialised throughout Asia, Africa and the Americas.

Prof Yuan LongPing menyampaikan syarahan beliau mengenai beras hibrid. Prof Yuan LongPing presenting his lecture on hybrid rice.

cabaran utama adalah memastikan semua orang mendapat akses kepada sumber makanan. Pertubuhan Kesihatan Sedunia (WHO) mentakrifkan keselamatan makanan sebagai “apabila semua orang pada setiap masa mendapat akses makanan yang mencukupi, selamat, berkhasiat bagi mengekalkan kehidupan yang sihat dan aktif”. Pemahaman global mengenai masalah keselamatan makanan sangat diperlukan meskipun wujud keperluan mendesak bagi penyelesaian kerjasama untuk menampung keperluan makanan kepada populasi dunia yang semakin meningkat. Berpandukan desakan ini, tiga komponen utama keselamatan makanan dikenal pasti. Komponen ini adalah (a) Ketersediaan makanan―di mana kuantiti makanan yang mencukupi tersedia secara konsisten; (b) Akses makanan―termasuk mempunyai sumber yang mencukupi untuk mendapatkan makanan bersesuaian bagi diet berkhasiat; dan (c) Kegunaan makanan―di mana penggunaan makanan yang bersesuaian berdasarkan pengetahuan tentang nutrisi dan penjagaan asas, serta air yang mencukupi dan sanitasi.

making food available to all will be a major challenge. The World Health Organisation (WHO) has defined food security as “when all people at all times have access to sufficient, safe, nutritious food to maintain a healthy and active life”. A global understanding on the problems of food security is urgently required albeit the need for collaborative solutions to feed the exploding world population. Guided by this urgency, the three core components of food security have been identified. These are (a) Food availability―where sufficient quantities of food are available on a consistent basis; (b) Food access―include having sufficient resources to obtain appropriate food for a nutritious diet; and (c) Food use―where appropriate use based on knowledge of basic nutrition and care, as well as adequate water and sanitation.

Keselamatan makanan di Malaysia sering kali menjadi isu yang kontroversi. Wujud keperluan untuk menghasilkan makanan mencukupi bagi menampung populasi yang semakin meningkat dan pengurangan tanah pertanian. Selain

Food security for Malaysia is always a contentious issue. On one hand is the need to produce sufficient food to feed its growing population and declining arable land, while on the other hand is the higher

itu, terdapat peluang keuntungan yang lebih tinggi daripada tanah sekiranya digunakan untuk pengeluaran tanaman bukan makanan serta industri. Keseimbangan sangat diperlukan. Malahan, keselamatan makanan bukan setakat menghasilkan beras mencukupi (penggunaan per kapita akan menurun apabila negara menjadi lebih maju), tetapi juga meliputi keperluan bagi sumber protein, vitamin dan mineral, dan serat pemakanan yang mencukupi untuk memastikan diet yang sihat dan seimbang. Masalah kesihatan berkaitan makanan pada abad ke-21 termasuk obesiti, diabetes, hipertensi dan penyakit kardiovaskular kini menjadi satu cabaran bagi negara. Oleh itu, ASM juga meneroka kemungkinan perkongsian dengan Wellcome Trust, UK untuk memudahkan penyelidikan dalam bidang ini.

return from the land if used for the production of non-food crops as well as for industry. A balance is undoubtedly needed. Furthermore, food security is not about just producing enough rice (the per capita consumption of which will decrease as the nation becomes more developed), but also covers the need for sufficient sources of protein, vitamins and minerals, and dietary fibre to ensure a healthy and balanced diet. Food related health problems of the 21st century including obesity, diabetes, hypertension and cardioâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;vascular diseases have become a challenge for the country. As such, ASM is also exploring the possibility of partnership with the Wellcome Trust, UK to facilitate research in this area.

Jawatankuasa Pertanian ASM telah menganjurkan pelbagai perbincangan bertujuan memberikan input berwawasan kepada negara. Laporan kajian Sains Mega mengenai pertanian mencadangkan beberapa strategi pembangunan untuk menambah baik keselamatan makanan negara.

beberapa pemahaman mengenai idea baharu pertanian bandar termasuk penggunaan struktur bertingkat tinggi untuk menanam tananam makanan. Selain had tanah, kebimbangan utama dalam bidang pertanian berkaitan dengan ketersediaan air berterusan yang menjadi bahan penting dalam pertumbuhan tanaman.

shared some insights into new ideas on urban agriculture including the deployment of high rise concrete structures to grow food crops. Apart from land limitations, a major concern in agriculture relates to the continued availability of water which is a key ingredient in plant growth.

Masa Hadapan Air Kekurangan air tawar sudah menjadi masalah global. Ramalan mencadangkan jurang yang semakin meningkat menjelang tahun 2040 antara permintaan air tawar tahunan dan bekalan boleh diperbaharui. Situasi ini akan menjadi bertambah buruk dengan peningkatan permintaan makanan dan perubahan iklim yang semakin ketara. Begitu juga, harapan untuk sanitasi yang lebih baik kelihatan suram bagi lebih daripada 2.5 bilion orang. Lebih daripada 884 juta orang masih kekurangan akses untuk mendapatkan air minuman bersih (World Water Development Report 2012). Secara kolektif, krisis ini memberi impak yang teruk kepada keupayaan kita untuk mengekalkan kemakmuran di seluruh dunia dan mencapai Matlamat Pem-bangunan Milenium (MDGs) yang bertujuan mengurangkan kadar kemiskinan ekstrem di dunia. Sekali lagi, ramai yang percaya penyelesaiannya wujud dalam sains dan teknologi, khususnya pembangunan sistem penyahmasinan berdaya maju.

Water Futures Freshwater scarcity is already a global problem. Forecasts have suggested a growing gap by 2040 between annual freshwater demand and renewable supply. The situation will worsen as food demand rises and climate change intensifies. Similarly, the outlook for improved sanitation looks bleak for over 2.5 billion people. More than 884 million people still lack access to clean drinking water (World Water Development Report 2012). Collectively, these crises are severely impacting our ability to sustain prosperity worldwide and to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) which aim to reduce the incidence of extreme poverty in the world. Again, many believe the solutions lie in science and technology, especially the development of viable desalination systems.

Malaysia mempunyai sumber air yang amat banyak. Min air larian tahunan sebanyak 566 bilion meter padu dan 64 bilion m³ imbuhan air tanah diterjemahkan kepada ketersediaan air kasar purata tahunan sebanyak 28,000 m³ per kapita. Jumlah penggunaan air di Malaysia pada masa ini adalah kira-kira 12.5 bilion m³/ setahun ataupun kurang daripada 3% air larian sedia ada (Mega Science Framework Study Water Report 2010). Memandangkan bekalan air begitu banyak, keselamatan air di Malaysia lebih menjurus kepada pengekalan ataupun peningkatan kuantiti, kualiti dan aspek kesihatan sumber air, serta meningkatkan penggunaan air yang efisien.

Malaysia has abundant water resources. The annual mean runoff of 566 billion m³ and 64 billion m³ of ground water recharge translate into an annual average gross water availability of 28,000 m³ per capita. The present total water consumption in Malaysia is about 12.5 billion m³/year or less than 3% of the available runoff (Mega Science Framework Study Water Report 2010). Owing to such abundance of supply, water security in Malaysia is concerned more with maintaining or improving the quantity, quality and health aspects of water resources, as well as increasing efficiency of use.

Kajian Rangka Kerja Sains Mega ASM mengenai Sektor Air memberi cadangan untuk menguasai peluang masa hadapan dalam bidang STI bagi air dan mengguna pakai teknologi bersesuaian yang boleh meningkatkan lagi keselamatan air di Malaysia. Jawatankuasa Air ASM menganjurkan Kolokium Tasik Kebangsaan pada tahun 2007

in 2007 to discuss the strategic roles of lakes in water management. Brief reports on such discussion were published. The committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ground water and demand management studies attracted a lot of participation from the relevant stakeholders. A water demand colloquium held in 2009 provided an effective platform for experts in the country to further deliberate on the findings of the studies. An Advisory Report entitled Strategies for the Sustainable Development and Management of Ground Water Resources in Malaysia aimed at providing advice to the government with respect to better management of the ground water resources was submitted in 2011.

Tenaga Permintaan tenaga dan perkhidmatan berkaitan, untuk memenuhi pembangunan sosial dan ekonomi dan meningkatkan kesejahteraan dan kesihatan manusia, semakin meningkat. Semua masyarakat memerlukan khidmat tenaga untuk memenuhi keperluan asas manusia (contohnya, lampu, keselesaan ruang memasak, kemuliaan dan komunikasi) dan untuk menyediakan proses yang produktif. Sejak tahun 1850-an, pengunaan global bahan api fosil (arang batu, minyak dan gas) meningkat dan menguasai bekalan tenaga yang menyumbang kepada pertumbuhan pesat dalam pelepasan karbon dioksida (CO2).

Energy Demand for energy and associated services, to meet social and economic development and improve human welfare and health, is increasing. All societies require energy services to meet basic human needs (e.g. lighting, cooking space comfort, nobility and communication) and to serve the productive processes. Since the 1850s, global use of fossil fuels (coal, oil and gas) has increased to dominate energy supply, leading to a rapid growth in carbon dioxide (CO ) emissions. Â˛

Pelepasan Gas Rumah Hijau (GHG) yang berpunca daripada penyediaan perkhidmatan tenaga memberi sumbangan besar kepada peningkatan bersejarah dalam penumpuan GHG di atmosfera. Laporan Penilaian Keempat Panel antara Kerajaan Mengenai Perubahan Iklim (IPCCAR4) menyimpulkan bahawa “kebanyakan peningkatan yang diperhatikan dalam suhu purata global sejak pertengahan abad ke-20 kemungkinan besar disebabkan oleh peningkatan yang diperhatikan dalam penumpuan gas rumah hijau antropogenik”. Pelepasan terus meningkat dan penumpuan CO2 meningkat kepada lebih daripada 390 ppm, ataupun 39% di atas tahap pra-perindustrian menjelang akhir tahun 2010 (IPCCAR4).

Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions resulting from the provision of energy services have contributed significantly to the historic increase in atmospheric GHG concentrations. The Inter-Government Panel of Climate Change Fourth Assessment Report (IPCCAR4) concluded that “most of the observed increase in global average temperature since the mid-20th century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentrations”. Emissions continue to grow and CO concentrations have increased to over 390 ² ppm, or 39% above pre-industrial levels by the end of 2010 (IPCCAR4).

conservation and efficiency, fossil fuel switching, renewable energy, nuclear, carbon capture and storage.

Malaysia mempunyai begitu banyak hidro, suria dan biojisim dengan potensi angin di kawasan pantai dan pulau. Sumber boleh diperbaharui yang terdapat di Malaysia adalah biojisim, suria, kuasa mini hidro, sisa perbandaran dan biogas. Kini, tenaga geoterma sedang dibangunkan di Tawau, Sabah, untuk menyediakan bekalan elektrik ke kawasan bandar. Hampir 60% dari Malaysia didominasi oleh hutan dan 15% lagi dikongsi oleh penanaman pertanian yang disokong oleh cahaya matahari yang banyak dan pemendakan yang diperlukan untuk pertumbuhan tanaman yang pantas. Oleh itu, terdapat potensi yang besar untuk pembangunan biojisim dan tenaga suria. Sebagai contoh, tenaga suria bukan sahaja merangkumi penukaran fotovolta kepada elektrik, tetapi juga pemanasan suria dan penghawa dingin secara langsung, manakala biojisim merangkumi pembakaran langsung tumbuhan sebagai bahan api bio dan biogas. RE di Malaysia diberi suntikan perangsang dengan pelaksanaan Skim Tarif Galakan (FIT), di mana seseorang individu boleh menjual tenaga yang dijana kepada syarikat utiliti pada kadar premium tetap untuk jangka masa tertentu. Ini adalah selaras dengan dasar untuk mengurangkan keperluan loji kuasa bahan api fosil tambahan dan pada masa yang sama mengurangkan pelepasan karbon.

Malaysia has abundant hydro, solar and biomass with wind potential in the coastal areas and islands. Renewable resources available in Malaysia are biomass, solar, mini-hydro power, municipal waste and biogas. Geothermal energy is now being developed in Tawau, Sabah, to provide electricity to the township. Almost 60% of Malaysia is dominated by forest and 15% is shared by agricultural cultivation backed by abundant sunshine and precipitation for rapid plant growth As such, there is great potential for the development of biomass and solar energy. For example, solar energy not only includes photovoltaic conversion to electricity, but also direct solar heating and air-condition, while biomass includes direct combustion of plant matter as biofuel and biogas. RE in Malaysia is given a boost with the implementation of the Feed-in-Tariff (FIT) scheme, where individuals can sell the power generated to utilities companies at a fixed premium rate for specific period. This is keeping in line with the policy to minimise the need of additional fossil fuel power plants and at the same time reducing carbon emissions.

ASM melalui Jawatankuasa Tenaga menyediakan input berwawasan kepada pihak berkuasa masing-masing untuk meningkatkan pengambilan RE serta amalan kecekapan tenaga (EE). Amalan EE dapat diibaratkan sebagai “buah yang bergayut di dahan rendah” di mana hanya pelaburan sedikit diperlukan untuk memperoleh manfaat yang besar. Langkah EE juga termasuk penggunaan motor berkecekapan tinggi, penebat premis dingin udara yang mencukupi, penggantian penyejuk penyaman udara lama dengan penyejuk EE, penggunaan peti sejuk EE dan langkah penjimatan tenaga dalam kemudahan Kerajaan.

ASM through its Energy Committee had been providing insightful inputs to the respective authorities on improving RE up-take as well as the practice of energy efficiency (EE). The practise of EE is likened to “low hanging fruits” where little investments is required for the fairly substantial benefits. EE measures also included the use of high efficiency motors, adequate insulation of air conditioned premises, replacement of old A/C chillers with EE chillers, use of EE refrigerators and energy saving measures in Government facilities.

Komunikasi Sains Transmisi sains, teknologi dan inovasi merentasi sempadan negara sedang berkembang dan dimanifestasikan sebagai kemajuan dalam teknologi maklumat dan komunikasi. Setiap negara mempunyai kapasiti berbeza dalam penggunaan peluang yang dicipta melalui kemajuan saintifik dan teknologi, dan perkembangan ekonomi negara itu dan daya saingnya tidak dinafikan ditentukan bukan sahaja dengan cara mereka mengurus dan menghayati pengetahuan dan teknologi itu, tetapi juga bagaimana mereka memindahkannya menjadi tindakan. Ini memberi petanda perlunya komunikasi sains yang efektif merentasi pelbagai suasana sosial dan platform media. Cabaran sebenar adalah memahami bagaimana untuk menggunakan komunikasi untuk menaja dialog, menggalakkan perbezaan perspektif, memudahkan penyertaan awam, mencapai kata sepakat dan belajar daripada perselisihan pendapat untuk menyampaikan mesej sains dan teknologi.

Science Communication The transmission of science, technology and innovation across national borders is growing and is manifested by advances in the information and communication technology. Countries differ in their capacities to capitalise on the opportunities created through scientific and technological advancements, and their economic progress and competitiveness will no doubt be determined not only by how well they manage and embrace such knowledge and technologies, but also by how well they are able to transmit them into actions. This calls for effective science communication across a diversity of social settings and media platform. The challenge here is to understand how to use communication to sponsor dialogue, invite differing perspectives, facilitate public participation, reach consensus and learn from disagreement to put across the message of science and technology.

ASM telah menjalankan pelbagai program komunikasi sains yang melibatkan sektor masyarakat yang berbeza dalam usaha untuk meningkatkan pemahaman awam mengenai sains dan teknologi dan antara program itu termasuk siri syarahan ASM seperti Syarahan Tokoh Terkemuka ASM, syarahan umum dan jalinan sains dengan sekolah melalui National Science Challenge serta Program Kembali ke Sekolah ASM.

ASM had undertaken various science communication programme to engage the different sectors of society in trying to improve public understanding of science and technology. Among the programme included the ASM lecture series such as the ASM Eminent Persons’ Lectures, public lectures, and science engagement with schools through the National Science Challenge as well as the ASM Back to School Programme.

Pada tahun 2010, menurut sistem pemantauan berita Meltwater, ASM telah dipaparkan sebanyak 111 kali dalam media cetak dan elektronik berbanding 181 kali pada tahun 2011. Dengan ini, keterampilan ASM meningkat sebanyak 64%. Ini menandakan bahawa maklumat berkenaan

In 2010, according to the Meltwater news monitoring system, ASM was featured 111 times in the print and electronic media compared to 181 times for 2011. Thus ASM’s visibility increased by 64%. This suggests that information on S&T

isu S&T dan inisiatif yang diungguli oleh Akademi telah berjaya disebarkan dengan baik dan mencapai golongan penonton sasaran.

issues and initiatives designed by the Academy were well disseminated and have reached the intended target audience.

Mengukuhkan Keupayaan STI ASM juga menguruskan Program Nobel Laureate yang bertujuan menyediakan platform untuk komuniti saintifik Malaysia, akademik, penyelidik, penuntut pasca siswazah dan pelajar yang akan dibimbing dan belajar daripada saintis terkemuka terutamanya pemenang Hadiah Nobel dan pusat kecemerlangan yang diiktiraf di peringkat global untuk memperoleh inspirasi, idea, jaringan kerjasama ke arah mencapai kecemerlangan dalam bidang STI, serta menanda aras keupayaan mereka dengan saintis terbaik dunia, ke arah menghasilkan saintis berkaliber tinggi yang mampu menyumbang kepada kemajuan komuniti saintifik global serta untuk faedah manusia sejagat. Sehingga kini, 24 Nobel Laureate telah menjalankan pelbagai aktiviti di Malaysia di bawah Program ini. Pada tahun 2011, ASM menandatangani Hasrat Kerjasama (EoI) dengan Pertubuhan Eropah bagi Penyelidikan Nuklear (CERN), Geneva untuk memudahkan kerjasama penyelidikan dan pembangunan modal insan. Pemeteraian EoI menyediakan peluang besar bagi penyelidik dan saintis muda dari Institusi Pengajian Tinggi dan institut penyelidikan di Malaysia untuk melibatkan diri dalam penyelidikan bersama dengan saintis lain yang melakukan penemuan canggih di CERN serta berpeluang menerima latihan di CERN. CERN merupakan salah satu daripada pusat penyelidikan saintifik yang terbesar dan paling dihormati di dunia serta menjadi contoh ulung dalam kerjasama antarabangsa.

Strengthening STI Capabilities ASM also manages the Nobel Laureate Programme that aims to provide a platform for the Malaysian scientific community, academics, researchers, post-graduates and students to be mentored by and learn from renowned scientists particularly Nobel Laureates and globally recognized centres of excellence to obtain inspiration, ideas, linkages towards achieving excellence in STI, as well as to benchmark their capabilities against the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best, towards producing high calibre scientists capable of contributing to the advancement of the global scientific community as well as for the benefit of humanity. To date, 24 Nobel Laureates have conducted various activities in Malaysia under this Programme. In 2011, ASM signed an Expression of Interest (EoI) with the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), Geneva to facilitate research collaboration and human capital development. The signing of the EoI provides a tremendous opportunity for researchers and young scientists from Malaysian institutions of higher learning and research institutes to be involved in joint research with other scientists who are making cutting edge discoveries at CERN as well as be trained through attachments at CERN. CERN is one of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest and most respected centres for scientific research that has become a premier example of international collaboration.

Di antara isu yang telah dibincangkan semasa ‘IdeaXchange’ adalah aktiviti ASM, penyusunan semula program ASM, peristiwa akan datang, keterampilan ASM dan sebagainya. Melalui ‘IdeaXchange’, satu kumpulan kajian telah dibentuk untuk menghasilkan kertas cadangan berkenaan penembusan jalur lebar di Malaysia. Pada tahun ini, lima perjumpaan telah dianjurkan.

A monthly gathering of ASM Fellows and Associates (‘IdeaXchange’) was initiated by the Academy in 2011 to provide a platform to discuss interdisciplinary matters. The objective is also to facilitate high level discussions among ASM Fellows and Associates to generate new ideas for the Academy. ‘IdeaXchange’ has enhanced member’s interaction and provided an effective platform for intellectual discourse. Some of the issues that have been discussed during the ‘IdeaXchange’ are ASM activities, re-alignment of ASM programme, upcoming events, visibility of ASM and the like. Through the ‘IdeaXchange’ a study group to produce a position paper on broadband penetration in Malaysia was initiated. For the year, five meetings were held.

Felo sedang berbincang semasa ‘IdeaXchange’. Fellows in discussion during the ‘IdeaXchange’.
