Petaling Jaya, 5th March 2010: Almost a year after supporting Earth
Hour 2009, popular actress and entertainer Maya Karin recently
highlighted her concern about climate change by signing the “Say No to
Coal Plants in Sabah” petition.
“Climate change is considered to be one of the biggest threats facing nature and humanity today. We must explore using alternative, green energy sources to help mitigate climate change and preserve the planet for the future generation. Malaysia has been blessed with a rich natural heritage, and we should pour our efforts into conserving our natural treasures,” said Maya Karin.
“It says a lot about the level of concern when you have celebrities such as Maya Karin stepping up to sign this petition,” stated Dr. Rahimatsah Amat, WWF-Malaysia’s Borneo Programme Chief Technical Officer, who commended the well known Malaysian figure for her courage to stand up for climate change issues.
The petition was launched by a coalition of local Non-Governmental Organisations in Sabah late last year to urge the Government to opt for alternative energy solutions for the State’s urgent energy woes. Members of the public have been signing up at Green SURF’s members’ offices and events. There is also an online version which can be signed by visiting the www.nocoalsabah.blogspot.com webpage.
