Mu seke (musseque), title of Renée Gagnon’s exhibition at Sociedade Nacional de Belas Artes
an African language spoken in Angola’s north-west
It refers to the sandy soil surrounding the city and in which
neighbourhoods were established to house old families who have been living there for a long time
consisting of photographs but also documents and a video/documentary
has as its centrepiece the city’s peripheral buildings
are the outcome of the artist’s attraction to the colours and shapes of these houses forming neighbourhoods
her eagerness to trace the meandering streets and affections
Gagnon was granted a scholarship from the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation in 1974
but her documentary and artistic research had begun two years earlier with the project entitled “Paliçadas dos Musseques de Luanda”
She returned to Luanda during the Civil War and continued her photographic research
which also had a documentary and sociological nature
These photos portray a history of vulnerability
of a community with its own spirit and which can – and perhaps should – offer a reflection on the past
“The photographer is an armed version of the solitary walker reconnoitring, stalking, cruising the urban inferno, the voyeuristic stroller who discovers the city as a landscape of voluptuous extremes”[1]
the world goes from being outside to being inside
of expanding neighbourhoods that have been turned into real labyrinths
they are intricate compositions in constant transformation and adaptation
but also of a profound rhythm of their own
fuelled by the materials that build havens together
A liberating energy that is at once cosmopolitan and an escape from control and oppression
which at the same time has an order of its own
Stories and portraits on the world “and the world in sentences, in phosphorescent lines, in revealed text, just as we say when a photograph or a secret is revealed”[6]. Mu seke 75 perhaps unveils the secret of setting up a space for the “revolutionary spirit, inspiring a generation of poets, authors and singers”[7]
She worked at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MNAC) in the Educational Services department as a trainee and for 9 years at the Palácio do Correio Velho as an appraiser and cataloguer of works of art and collecting
She took part in the Postgraduate Programme in Art Markets at the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities of Universidade Nova de Lisboa as a guest lecturer for several editions and collaborated with BoCA - Bienal de Artes Contemporâneas in 2023
She is currently working on an Art Advisory and curatorial project
collaborating with Teatro do Vestido in production assistance and has been producing different types of text

In this week’s newsletter we look at Brazil’s chances in Australia and New Zealand and their hopes for Marta’s last dance
nearly four years after Sundhage’s arrival
while the 37-year-old Marta has just recovered from an anterior cruciate ligament injury
other teammates have been doing really well both for their clubs and the national team to try to push the team to victory
Debinha has been scoring,” Sundhage told TV Globo
“We have players at this moment in the Brasileirão
What we want is to have everyone together to improve their resistance and fitness
this is why we’ve been training here [in Brazil].” The coach was speaking before one of the training sessions with 15 players based in European leagues and the US
Brazil also have one game before the World Cup: a friendly against Chile in Brasília on Sunday (2.30pm BST)
Brazil are eighth in Fifa’s women’s world rankings
They had two silver Olympic medals and a World Cup runner-up campaign in the 2000s
but since then the evolution of women’s football in different countries has left the seleção in a difficult position
The assumption that Brazilians are “football people” does not
So how can we have high hopes for a good World Cup
Cristiane and Formiga playing together are long gone

Photograph: Angelika Warmuth/ReutersAs someone who has covered and followed the women’s game in Brazil for years
my expectations fluctuate between pessimistic and optimistic about 20 times a day as we approach the World Cup
I have watched England play a few times over the last year and they are a machine
The United States know in their bones how to win a World Cup
One thing that Sundhage always says before and after every game is that the Brazilians need to learn how to push back
but they can do what they know and surprise the other side
they were able to do that at some extent against England and Germany in the last friendlies
which made me way more hopeful for this World Cup
“I think we’re a young team who had to play against the best to become one of the best
The last games were a sign that we’re on the right path
but losses are a part of growth,” said Kerolin during an interview with the Equalizer recently
If we always have Brazilians winning important titles and being great
it will be really important for young girls watching.”

The Lost City was based at the country’s Pinewood studio
which hosts an eight-acre water tank and enough outdoor space to take in a jungle road fit for a chase scene
but the majority of the shooting (bar the volcanoes
added with CGI) was on location in the country’s diverse landscape

After the recent listing on the New York Stock Exchange of the Romanian robotics unicorn UiPath, the Croatian Robotiq.ai recently announced its new €900K investment from the Czech early-stage J&T Ventures
The interest towards startups that develop the digital workforce of the future is growing in the region
Robotiq.ai creates a robotic process automation (RPA) platform
It helps businesses optimize their workflow and reduce repetitive tasks with software robotics by combining technologies such as deep learning and chatbots.
According to the positioning of the startup
its key competitive advantage stems from the fact that its solutions can be implemented on-premise
The software robots of Robotq.ai are able to operate completely autonomously without the need for external supervision
The AI technologies used to build the RPA platform
reduce the chance of mistakes and eliminate potential problems before they arise.
the solution of Robotiq.ai is also relatively simple to operate with
The platform has one central headquarters (HQ) application
through which clients can manage all of the robots
and keep track of the status and utilization of the robots.
Despite the fact that the software robots of Robotiq.ai can work in an unattended mode
the startup’s vision is that human employees should be kept in the loop
That is why the RPA platform integrates elements such as the chatbot and the process editor that allow interaction between the robots and the employees
They enable manual modifications and seek human validation
The mediator between the human and the digital workers in the platform of Robotiq.ai is their optional chatbot component that transmits messages and information between the employees and the robots.
The role of the chatbot is to enable the engineers who design the processes to ask the employees for approval and log their answers for future references
The startup is now working on integrating the chatbot with popular communication apps such as Slack and Microsoft Teams to make communication more efficient.
AI is still an integral part of the solution of Robotiq.ai and the platform relies on machine learning and neural networks to develop robots with cognitive capabilities this means that “digital RPA workers” are able to recognize elements visually instead of using selectors which are more difficult to operate and require technical expertise.
According to one of the co-founders of Robotiq.ai
RPA solutions can do pretty much everything that a human employee
controlling or customer service does – from clicking on applications and entering and extracting data
When such monotonous tasks are taken care of by robots
the employees are left with more time to engage in more creative and complex tasks
it raises the efficiency of the organization and improves customer satisfaction
As the startup currently operates with only 10 full-time employees, one of the main internal goals would be to significantly expand its team by the end of this year. The recent investment will mainly be used to boost the sales and marketing efforts of the company by selling through partners and exploiting new sales opportunities through campaigns. As explained by Jovisic
one of the main challenges ahead of the company are market visibility
Their goal would be to accelerate their digital presence through more webinars
and sponsorship of relevant initiatives.
Those are considered to be insufficiently covered by the competitors of the Croatian RPA startup
After establishing a strong presence in these markets
Rbotiq.ai expects to also use the investment as a trampoline to enter the richer and more mature UK and US markets
which are characterized by high rates of adoption and higher competition

since we humans first sent our spacecraft around the back side of the moon
astronomers have put forward various ideas to explain the difference between the moon’s two hemispheres
The American Geophysical Union announced a new study on May 20
based on new evidence about the moon’s crust
suggesting the differences were caused by a wayward dwarf planet colliding with the moon in the early history of the solar system
A report on the new research was published May 20 in AGU’s peer-reviewed Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets
A statement from AGU explained:
The mystery of the moon’s two faces began in the Apollo era when the first views of its far side revealed the surprising differences. Measurements made by the Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) mission in 2012 filled in more details about the structure of the moon — including how its crust is thicker and includes an extra layer of material on its far side
There are a number of ideas that have been used to try and explain the moon’s asymmetry
One is that there were once two moons orbiting Earth and they merged in the very early days of the moon’s formation
found itself in an orbit around the sun that put it on a collision course with the moon
If the second scenario is true, it would have happened later than the first scenrio – the merging moons – after the moon had formed a solid crust. That’s according to Meng-Hua Zhu of the Space Science Institute at Macau University of Science and Technology and lead author of the new study
signs of the impact of a young dwarf planet with our moon should be visible today in the moon’s crust
The detailed gravity data obtained by GRAIL has given new insight into the structure of the lunar crust underneath the surface
Zhu’s team of researchers used GRAIL’s new findings in computer simulations
to test different early-moon impact scenarios
The study’s authors ran 360 computer simulations of giant impacts with the moon to find out whether such an event millions of years ago could reproduce the crust of today’s moon as detected by GRAIL
They found the best fit for today’s asymmetrical moon is a large body
smacking into the nearside of the moon at 14,000 miles per hour (22,500 km per hour)
That would be the equivalent of an object a bit smaller than the dwarf planet Ceres moving at a speed about one-quarter as fast as the meteor pebbles and sand grains that burn up as “shooting stars” in Earth’s atmosphere
Another good fit for the impact combinations the team modeled is a slightly smaller
object hitting at a mildly faster 15,000 miles per hour (24,500 km per hour)
the model shows the impact would have thrown up vast amounts of material that would fall back on the moon’s surface
burying the primordial crust on the far side in 3 to 6 miles (5 to 10 km) of debris
That is the added layer of crust detected on the far side by GRAIL
The new study suggests the impactor was not likely an early second moon of Earth’s
Whatever the impactor was – an asteroid or a dwarf planet – it was probably on its own orbit around the sun when it encountered the moon
Bottom line: New research suggests that a wayward dwarf planet collided with the moon in the early history of the solar system
causing the stark difference between the moon’s heavily-cratered far side and the lower-lying open basins of its near side
Source: Are the moon’s nearside-farside asymmetries the result of a giant impact?

With classes returning to in-person this semester and COVID restrictions being lifted
journalism student Sara Belas decided to come to campus to hang out with her two friends on one of her days off
Belas and her other friend worked on assignments together until the class was over
“All three of us were like ‘we’ll just go for one drink and then we’ll go home,’“ said Belas
But the three friends ended up staying at the bar until 2 a.m
we just kept going and it was such a fun night with my two best friends
It felt like what I had hoped university would feel like.”
This desire for the social aspects of the university experience is something that resonates with students. Throughout the pandemic, some students have felt like they missed out on the social experiences of university that existed pre-pandemic. According to a 2020 study by the Ontario Confederation of University Faculty Associations (OCUFA)
nine per cent of students listed the lack of social dynamic and university experience as the main reason their university experience has been negatively impacted by the pandemic.
This social experience includes class activities as well
In the upper years of the Ryerson urban planning program
students get to go on field trips to different cities around the world as part of their mandatory courses
The graduating cohort of this year did not get this full experience
“One of the best parts about the urban planning undergrad program is you get to go on these fun trips,” Panday said.
meeting with local planners in Vancouver with the rest of his class
In October 2021 he attended a virtual field trip to Chicago
But the experience is not the same as the actual trip would have been
The way that the trips are structured is to spend the day fulfilling the academic requirements
but then the evenings are times when students can socialize and explore the cities they are visiting
“that social aspect was totally taken out of the equation,” said Panday.
This loss of experience is something felt by many university students. Some of the more significant losses for young adults during the pandemic were related to education and important social events or milestones, according to a 2021 study
during the university period where people are investing in goals and socializing.
After two years of learning during a pandemic
fourth-year international economics and finance student Rima Thakkar is ready to graduate and be done with school — at least for now.
“It made me just want to take a break,” Thakkar said
“I feel like this (online) transition was just too taxing
and then having to go back (to school) again
would be too much of an adjustment for me.”
According to OCUFA
16 per cent of students say that burnout and bad experiences with online learning were the main reasons why their university experience has been negatively impacted by the pandemic
Thakkar is not alone in this desire for a break from school
Fourth-year York University environmental studies student Maya Adachi said that she feels the same way about returning to school
“I don’t think I could do grad school right away after graduating (from undergrad)
I’m going to leave a bit of a gap before going back for sure.” She recently accepted a contract for a job after her graduation and said that she is primarily trying to focus on that right now
Panday said that after the two years of online school
he is looking forward to “finishing and graduating and starting to work.” He has a full-time job that he is set to begin in June
and he is ready to move on from university
“I’m ready to start the next chapter in my life,” he said
“I can understand the feeling of wanting to stay in school for a bit longer
It does give structure and stability,” said Adachi
But she says she is ready to be done with university and move on to the rest of her adult life
I will miss that opportunity to learn and the community that comes with being a student,” she said
“I’m ready to go off and find something else to do.”
If Thakkar was to go back to school for a post-graduate degree
it would be for the professional experience of the degree
not chasing the social experience of her undergraduate degree
“I don’t think I would be seeking the same things I was seeking from undergrad from a post-grad degree … Definitely not the social aspects of it
because I don’t think it’s possible (to replace that) anymore.”
While Panday lost the experience of an in-person trip in his upper years
he still looks back fondly on the social experiences he had in his first two years of pre-pandemic university
He recalled one day when a group of his friends were working on an assignment together and had suddenly realized that they had worked straight through the day and had yet to eat anything
The group of friends ended up going to the Ryerson campus pub
like in the grand scheme of things it wasn’t that important
these kinds of memories and social experiences are what she looks forward to continuing to develop in her time in university
“I’ve always heard people talk about their university experiences like it’s the best time of their lives
They’re core memories that are locked in,” said Belas
When the COVID-19 pandemic hit in the Winter 2020 semester
Belas had been finishing up her first year of university
she decided to become a part-time student rather than continue to take a full course load
Online university was difficult for her to focus
and online school was not delivering the university experience that she wanted
so she decided to drop the number of courses she was taking
like she had assumed she would when she was 18
extending it made me more excited to continue doing university,” she said
“I have accepted (that) I’m going to take a really long time with the university experience
But it makes me kind of glad that I’m taking a long time
because I can still get the actual university experience I wanted.”
When thinking about the experiences she wants to have during her degree
Belas says that the simple idea of doing her work in a coffee shop
and going out for happy hour drinks are the kinds of things she is looking forward to.
“That was what I was really looking forward to and I still am really looking forward to,” she said
“I’m a bit more hopeful because people are vaccinated
Now that she has gotten to experience some of these things
Belas is feeling excited about what is yet to come in her extended degree
“The few experiences I’ve had that match my expectations I had about university are some of the best memories of my life.”

We enter the body of Rui Matos’ exhibition A Sequência dos Dias and are suddenly struck by vibrant forms in black tones
and twist and turn throughout the gallery space
white walls of the gallery and wind through the space
in a play of oppositions between concave and convex
small sculptural elements follow one another and punctuate the space in different directions
even if it is morphologically close to what precedes or succeeds it
we can see forms that allude to a certain geometry
and other forms that seem to suggest animal horns
There are also holes in the base that cause the formation
Throughout the exhibition there is a frequent play of shadows caused by the metal structures that
Ballets of lines cover the wall and give the forms greater prominence
they allude to mysterious architectural spaces
that lead the gaze to the interior of matter and
These tunnels will then open in another part of the piece
Rui Matos’ structures are not made to be predictable
The way in which they challenge the observer and surprise him is what most defines the artist and his greatest coherence
But it is not possible to forget what is unique in matter and what cannot be translated into words
It is on matter that we can focus our attention
it is as if we were dealing only with what is concrete in matter
matter that contains its own way of communicating and that cannot be described in words
And throughout the exhibition there are so many moments in which matter dictates so many things that cannot be transformed into a verb
sometimes through pieces that evolve in space and remind us of modernist furniture
Are shelves and tables intended to prefigure symbolic exchanges
Or rather semantic games that spring from the life and daily life of men
The games of light and shadow perpetuate themselves in space
Shadows of their own and projected shadows
The allusion to the transversality of disciplines is also clearly visible
both in the human-scale structures and in the small coloured models that are fixed to the wall
And that remind us of an older project by Nuno Matos Thinking another scale
In them we can build plots and imagine narratives
giving body to a drama or an unsolvable story
The colour palettes of the sculptures also leave us ambivalent about whether they are paintings or three-dimensional objects
Were we not once avid readers of Clement Greenberg
we would be confused and left with few tools to unravel the mystery
There is even a group of pieces hanging on the walls that vary according to the colours applied
stimulated to move from the imaginary of pure drawing to the architectural imaginary
from the pictorial to the architectural/sculptural
who said: “Il n’y a pas d’immobilite
(…) Cessez toute resistance au changement”
or the pieces Configurations and Tell me stories
evoke precisely this interdisciplinary fluidity
The artist’s most recent works also seem to evoke music
the 20th century composer Cornellius Cardew
Cornellius called for improvisation and a sense of freedom in the interpretation of his work
said: “absolute objectivity is a mere dream”
A Sequência dos Dias by Rui Matos is on show at the Sociedade Nacional de Belas Artes until 15 October.
She studied Drawing in Ar.co and Design of Equipment at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Lisbon
Completed his Masters in Visual Arts Teaching
She also participates in editions such as FRAME

Stan and Amanda are champions of volunteering and look forward to their next challenge
At Galeria Quadrum we can visit Sara & André’s latest project
The artist duo continues the work in circuit
dialoguing with the art system and its actors
I would say that Sara & André’s plastic and visual work is as important as the communicating thread that unravels the agents of their proposals
Although it is a work marked by the sheer force of the idea
it is at the intersection with the presentation – in this case
27 similarly shaped paintings – that the duo’s work becomes effective
O Colecionador de Belas Artes is the outcome of contact established with private collectors in Portugal and their archives
Following the choice of some works by the collectors
it was possible to make the paintings that we can find at Galeria Quadrum
I highlight three points in Sara & André’s proposal
The first is about the citation work in the way the exhibition is thought out
The project is a direct dialogue with António Areal’s work
Areal presented 15 paintings at Galeria São Mamede
In them we could find an anonymous silhouette
similar to the one in Sara & André’s paintings
Areal presented the collector carrying a work in the foreground
At the time, Areal’s proposal was to destabilize concepts, in particular the concept of authenticity[2]
Another reading of Areal’s work has to do with the mercantile character of the artistic object
The collector and the spectator are agents who legitimize the work as merchandise
this hypothesis is in Sara & André’s update
it seems that the duo’s aim was to affirm and empower the collector’s attitude
Sara & André explored aspects such as collectors’ motivations
or the collectors’ contribution to the development of discourses on works of art
Something that can be understood as a curatorial work – completing a collection
thinking and choosing works for a particular exhibition
there seems to be a balance between intuition
Finding what is missing or sometimes hopelessly lost
The exhibition, O Colecionador de Belas Artes, by Sara & André can be visited at the Quadrum Gallery until June 19

The aestheticians of the escape are just that – not of the fact

but which disturb cultural concepts and precepts”

British holidaymakers and golfers have enjoyed a long and happy romance with Portugal
centred mainly on the beaches and courses of the southern Algarve
Now it is the turn of the western coast, close to newly fashionable capital Lisbon, to offer holiday homes with sporting benefits
Belas Clube de Campo is a residential golf resort in a pine and eucalyptus forest 25 minutes from Lisbon
2,500-acre site has views north to the historic Palace of Sintra and west to the surfing beaches at Cascais
The first owners at Belas arrived in 1997 and today 800 families live there
Owners cover 27 different nationalities though the majority are Portuguese — initial sales were focused on Portugal
“Lisbon was not a destination for overseas buyers in the Nineties,” says Bruno Martins
“British buyers generally went to the Algarve but over the past decade that has changed
Lisbon has gained a reputation as a good-value destination with good wine
good weather and world-class chefs like José Avillez
Belas’s developer is the André Jordan Group
André Jordan himself is considered the “father of golf and tourism” in the Algarve
creating one of the Algarve’s best-regarded and most expensive golf resorts
and owned the marina and golf resort in Vilamoura
“We were market drivers in the Algarve and aimed to do the same at Belas,” he says
to incorporate homes and leisure in a natural and beautiful setting with an informal but strong community spirit.”
The average age of owners is a rather youthful 44 and many families span three generations
Along with the championship 18-hole golf course — the closest to Lisbon — facilities include tennis courts
This autumn Belas Clube de Campo launches the second phase of properties
and Jordan aims to ensure continued tranquillity and low density
contemporary homes priced from £310,000 for generously sized one- to three-bedroom flats and from £800,000 for three- and four-bedroom townhouses
Villa plots start from £310,000 with a typical build costing about £665,000
Monthly service charges start from £90 with townhouse furniture packages from £71,000. Comparable property at Quinta do Lago would cost between two and three times more
One hour south of Lisbon at the start of the rural Alentejo region
the flat Tróia peninsula also has an 18-hole championship golf course

Here we are 20 minutes from the capital Lisbon and the coast
there is plenty to do and the views are beautiful.”

A local instrumental technician trainee with the St Barbara Simberi Operations
joined the company’s Apprenticeship Program
Elizabeth Belas joined the company for her on-the-job training this year and was fortunate to be accepted to be in the apprenticeship training program
She signed a contract with the National Trade Testing Board and is the second of two female employees in male dominated fields that are fortunate to be selected through a stringent process into the apprenticeship program
Fred Daniels emphasised that the signing was worth recognising because it signifies the beginning of a successful career for Miss Belas
Miss Belas said: “Although it’s a male dominant profession in the country
working alongside male counterparts for these 13 months feels no different
“What they do regarding work is the same as what I can do
I do not feel different from my male colleagues
and I am grateful for working with skilled and experienced colleagues.”
Edward Belas said it is important that employees are qualified and certified in their field because through this they will be compensated well for the work that they are doing and with it comes certain benefits and opportunities
“I am thankful to the company for putting my daughter into this training program
because my wife and I have struggled to make sure that our children get a decent education so that they can get better paying jobs and support us.”

BURSASGXHomeEdge WeeklyBy This article first appeared in The Edge Malaysia Weekly on November 27
the sanitary landfill operator owned by Perbadanan Kemajuan Negeri Selangor (PKNS)
is building up its portfolio of waste-to-energy (WTE) plants
with its latest win being the Bukit Payong WTE project in Batu Pahat
which is being developed together with Shanghai Electric Power Generation (M) Sdn Bhd in Jeram
while its second is located in Tanjung Dua Belas
“The Jeram WTE project is currently being financed through project financing with a combination of equity and debt
“Being one of the first WTE plants in Malaysia
the Jeram WTE project financing has undergone extensive due diligence by independent professional advisers and will set a precedent in the market for WTE financing,” says Worldwide in a written response to The Edge’s questions
The Jeram WTE project is expected to cost about RM1 billion and will be developed over two phases
news reports stated that the Tanjung Dua Belas WTE project was estimated to cost around RM500 million
we have started the pre-development works for the Tanjung Dua Belas (TG12) WTE plant and the procurement process is ongoing
we are not able to expose the cost,” the group states
Worldwide will explore various debt project financing instruments
to determine the best limited recourse financing plan for the project
Worldwide’s success in securing the Bukit Payong WTE project is a setback to Cypark Resources Bhd
which had been eyeing the project as its second WTE project after the Ladang Tanah Merah WTE project in Port Dickson
Cypark announced in March 2021 that it had entered into a cooperation agreement with Permodalan Darul Ta’zim Sdn Bhd (PDT) to participate in the WTE project in Johor
PDT is a Johor state investment holding company
A request for proposal for the Bukit Payong WTE project was called in August 2020
with the multibillion ringgit investments needed to finance the three WTE projects
it will have to consider corporate exercises to raise funds for them
Worldwide will list its renewable energy (RE) and environment business in the near future to fund the projects
the company states that no corporate exercises have been planned for the near term
The funding of WTE projects is challenging
This is because of the high capital intensity of the project as well as the feed-in tariff (FiT) regime that have made WTE projects less attractive for banks to lend to compared with conventional power plants
“The last quoted FiT won by SIPP Power Sdn Bhd was 37.5 sen per kW
Worldwide somehow gets only 42 sen per kW for its Jeram WTE plant
The difference is only four sen to five sen per kW
Are you really promoting renewable?” asks an industry insider
the rate difference there is 10 sen per kW — that’s how you promote renewable energy
If the difference is just four sen to five sen per kW
we might as well invest in conventional power plants like SIPP,” he says
It has to be noted that the government is not looking at WTE plants as an RE play
but rather as a method to better manage domestic waste
In addition to the FiT from the power generated
a WTE operator is also paid a tipping fee for the waste sent to its facilities
the tipping fee is about RM55 per tonne and paid by the municipal councils from where the domestic waste comes from
another industry insider revealed that Worldwide is getting a tipping fee of RM77 per tonne for the Bukit Payong WTE plant
Worldwide did not provide any information on its FiT rate and tipping fees for the purpose of this story
It is understood that Worldwide has not achieved financial close for both the Tanjung Dua Belas and Bukit Payong WTE projects
it reveals its aspiration to be a leading player in RE
“RE is an emerging sector and Worldwide is actively exploring opportunities that have high growth potential
especially in championing the WTE business at the national level,” it tells The Edge
Selangor seems to be aggressively pursuing WTE projects
considering that the state has the biggest population in Malaysia
Another state-owned entity that is embarking on a WTE project in Selangor is KDEB Waste Management Sdn Bhd
a subsidiary of Menteri Besar Selangor Inc (MBI)
KDEB Waste Management is partnering with YTL Power International Bhd to develop a green energy park in Rawang
called the Sultan Idris Shah (SIS) Green Energy Park
at an expected cost of around RM4.5 billion
The SIS Green Energy Park will be developed over four phases of 10 years
The first phase will see the development of the WTE plant
which has the capacity to process 2,400 tonnes of municipal waste per day as well as generate 58mw of electricity
the first WTE plant will be upgraded and expanded to process up to 100 tonnes of scheduled waste per day and generate 4.5mw of electricity
managing director of KDEB Waste Management
told The Edge at the company’s headquarters in Shah Alam
the second WTE plant with the capacity to process 1,200 tonnes of municipal waste per day and generate 23mw of electricity will be developed
This will be followed by a floating solar power plant with a capacity to generate 45mw of electricity
“So we foresee this [green energy park] to be the best and fastest and [have] the most efficient technology to deal with 2,400 tonnes of waste per day,” says Ramli
Together with Worldwide’s investment in the Jeram WTE plant
the current investment in Selangor’s WTE projects amount to RM5.5 billion
for which costs have yet to be finalised by Worldwide
Selangor contributes about 29% of the daily national waste generation
and this does not include the waste coming from Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya that are also dumped in landfills in the state
as land that could have been used more efficiently for the growth of the state and the enjoyment of its people is currently being used as dumping grounds for waste
we are collecting close to 7,000 tonnes of domestic waste per day and also 3,000 tonnes of public cleansing and bulky waste per day
The national rate is about 34,000 to 35,000 tonnes per day
[Selangor is] the highest generator of waste in the country,” says Ramli
Together with waste coming from Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya
Selangor receives about 13,000 tonnes of waste per day
there is not even a single year that has shown a decrease in waste generation
there is an increase of about 2% in the population in Selangor
but an almost 6% increase in waste generation
“That is why the Selangor government had to think of the best way to manage the waste that is more efficient
