60 Earth Hour


1. WWF Malaysia had initiated a campaign to save energy for Malaysia and the World. It was launched on Monday 16th February at the KL Tower. Our ambassador is Ms. Yasmin Ahmad, a well-known film producer

2. The Earth Hour Malaysian chapter will be officially observed at 2030 hr on Saturday 28th March and it would be for an hour.

3. Many Ministries, government departments, business outlets, TV stations, hotels and the public have signed for it. WWF Malaysia is still pursuading Petronas to switch the lights on the iconic Twin Towers for just an hour.

4. Dato' Dr. Sheikh Mudzaffar and Mr. Alex Yoong have been on the air campaigning so that millions of Malaysian join the World's citizens to save some energy. Just imagine if half of the 25 million Malaysians just switch their light for one hour on the coming Saturday, how much energy is saved!

5. TNB has already generated excess energy for the country and yet the government had contracted the private sectors to generate extra electrical energy at the expense of the tax payers money.

6. Let's come together as a sign of national solidarity and switch off your house lights between 2030-2130 on 28th March

7. My daughter is planning to have a candle light barbeque on that evening and I myself is planning to sit in the dark for an hour at my kampung house at Kampung Tok Betek, Kota Bharu, Kelantan

Dear Kee & Syazni

That is the least we can do to register our concerns to our government and policy makers about the effects of global warming and conserving energy. Switching lights for an hour is just a gesture, nothing more than that but we hope to be able to send the message loud and clear

TNB lah yang paling sedih sebab akan hilang pendapatan berjuta ringgit pada 28hb ni......

Well, kalau betul nak jimat dan kenakan TNB ... tutupkan aircon 1 jam lebih awal sebelum bangun (gunakan sleep mode) ...

at least masa rasa panas tuu, maksudnya bangun 1 jam lebih awal ... dan jimatan bulanan boleh mencecah 3 angka ohhh ...

mulakan dengan diri anda dalam penggunaan harian, bukannye sekadar 1 jam dalam setahun.

Dear Sdra Khairil & Sdra Fat Miao

1. Apa tujuan yang WWF Malaysia ingin sampaikan kepada masyarakat Malaysia dan dunia ialah suatu isyarat untuk menjimatkan tenaga khususnya bahan api yang tidak lestari. Tidak lebih daripada itu.

2. Ada perkara lain yang lebih penting seperti jangan membakar secara terbuka, jangan membuang sampah dalam sungai, jangan membazir air, dll.

3. Ya kita harus bermula dari diri sendiri, pihak swasta juga harus mulakan, pemerintah harus peka dll

4. TNB tidak pernah rugi. Yang TNB rugi ialah membayar berjuta-juta RM setahun kepada penjana tenaga swasta yang tidak harus menjana tenaga. Negara telah ada lebih tenaga!

Dear All

In spite of what some of the Malaysians felt, the TNB boss was happy with the success of the earth Hour (See today NST). It was not easy to get all the people together to voice an opinion for a good cause, but at least we in the WWF Malaysia had tried.
