"Through this MoU, we aim to significantly contribute to Malaysia's clean energy objectives in line with the vision of achieving 70% renewable energy capacity by 2050."

The MoU solidifying the partnership on sustainable development was signed by TNB Chief Retail Officer, Kamal Arifin A. Rahman and Sime Darby Property Chief Executive Officer, Dato' Ir. Mohd Sohimin Mohd Alayedin. This marks a significant milestone in their joint commitment in advancing a low-carbon future.
