KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 23 — Yinson Holdings Bhd has inked a strategic partnership agreement with Selangor Information Technology and Digital Economy Corporation (Sidec) to implement and expand sustainable initiatives in Selangor.
Yinson and Sidec said the collaboration will begin with the promotion of electric bikes and battery-swapping solutions offered through Yinson’s green technologies business unit, Yinson GreenTech (YGT).
“The agreement aims to reduce carbon emissions, promote green transportation, and improve mobility in Selangor, aligning with the state’s aspiration to be a smart, liveable, and prosperous state as outlined within its First Selangor Plan (RS-1),” they said in a joint statement recently.
Yinson group executive chairman Lim Han Weng said the company is excited to work with Selangor, Malaysia’s primary port of entry and largest economy, to realise its transformation into Asean’s digital hub.
“We believe this agreement paves the way for Yinson’s future collaborations with other local governments towards achieving the nation’s commitment to attaining net zero by 2050.”
Sidec chief executive officer Yong Kai Ping said joint efforts between public and private sectors are needed to pursue the shared goal of developing a holistic, sustainable ecosystem encompassing both digital innovation and robust physical infrastructure.
“Only through partnerships such as these can we advance in Malaysia’s journey towards carbon neutrality by 2050.”
