JDT CREATES HISTORY, BECOMING THE FIRST MALAYSIAN TEAM TO REACH THE AFC CUP FINAL
The scheduled 2015 AFC Cup semi-final second-leg match between Johor
Darul Ta'zim and Al-Qadsia SC on October 20th will not take place
following the suspension of the Kuwait FA by FIFA that prevents its
teams from participating in any international tournament. Therefore JDT
have been awarded the win by AFC and will progress to the 2015 AFC Cup
final to face FC Istiklol on October 31st. Congratulations to JDT for
creating history and becoming the first Malaysian team to reach the AFC
Cup final. This is a great opportunity for the Southern Tigers team and
supporters to witness Johor Darul Ta'zim create history again in their
football journey under the patronage of HRH Crown Prince of Johor.
Luaskan Kuasamu Johor.
THE logistics industry in Malaysia should
prepare itself for some dramatic changes in the way products are
handled, stored and transported when permissible carbon footprints on
products traded across borders become mandatory. With various strong
global initiatives on sustainability under way, it may not be too long
before our exports which do not tally up the right carbon footprints
will not be allowed to be traded across borders.
Products which are not shipped in “green ships” for instance, or
handled at a port that is not green compliant, or transported via a
truck that is not environment-friendly or stored in a warehouse that
does not go green, may be banned in the trade across borders. Malaysia
as a heavily trade-reliant economy and 24th leading exporter nation, can
ill-afford such disruptions to its trade.
It is not unforeseeable, like the way now all aircraft (regardless of
their nationalities) that fail to acquire the Emission Trading Permit to
fly in and out of the European Union are banned (from March 2013), that
it may not be long before ports may turn away ships that are not green.
But, of course, before they do so, ports themselves must turn green
hence, the green port .
As the carbon
footprints on products receive greater attention, it is inevitable that
the whole transportation and logistics chain will come under scrutiny.
Products packed in plastics will have higher carbon footprint tally than
if packed in recycled cardboards boxes. Similarly, agricultural exports
that use chemical fertilisers will receive higher carbon footprint than
if grown organically.
The same goes
for carbon footprints on garments, fresh or frozen meat, rubber
products, electrical and electronic products and so on, and of course
the leather shoes that you wear which packs lots of carbon!
The initiatives and developments to ensure sustainability of the
logistics industry are unstoppable. Our policy planners need to
incorporate greening of the transport and logistics sector because trade
is at the core to this. While such initiatives are already adopted,
including by the Transport Ministry and other relevant agencies, there
is a need to map out a more comprehensive sustainability development
policy with a view to not just protecting our environment and, more
importantly, to ensure sustainability of our trade which is the nation’s
life-line. The policy approach could include fiscal and financial
incentives or mechanisms to encourage the adoption of technologies and
techniques that contribute to reducing CO2 emissions. It is hoped that
the ongoing National Transport Strategy study by The World Bank (to be
completed in November 2014) and the Logistics Performance and Trade
Facilitation Study (to be completed in June 2014) commissioned by the
Economic Planning Unit would also address these concerns.
In this regard I would think the players in
the logistics chain have to take their own initiatives to think
sustainably and apply sustainability, including forging collaboration
and partnerships, like between shipping lines and port terminal
operators and other transporters. Other supporters of sustainable future
must also be involved in creating sustainability awareness programmes
beyond green building, green technology and green belts, not only for
the logistics players but for all strata of society.
The higher learning institutions must actively promote this part of
sustainability as a requisite for any undergraduate course. In some
countries collaborative strategies to cost-effectively reduce CO2
emissions among players in the logistics chain have been adopted
successfully. It is time we go the same path to engage in strategies to
simultaneously advance environmental, economic and community
sustainability.
