"To proliferate such an industry, Mosti much welcomes the creation of the latest technology, for example, the process of recycling used items such as plastic, which is among this country’s major efforts towards reducing carbon emissions,” he told reporters after visiting the Murni Industrial area in Senai, here, today.

Dr Adham said low-carbon towns and cities could have a positive impact on the communities, especially in reducing the effects of climate change.

"Mosti will be collaborating with the Ministry of International Trade and Industry and Malaysian Technology Development Corporation (MTDC) to achieve the aim.

"The involvement of various parties in the country and outside such as Japan and Austria to develop technology that can reduce carbon emissions will also open up more investment and employment opportunities in this country,” he added.
