Ker-Iz Consulting

In my final week in Malaysia, I participated in two significant events in Kuala Lumpur supported by MDEC: One ASEAN Startup Award (ERIA) and Integrating ESG Principles into Industrial Solutions (Eurocham) . These experiences further fueled my commitment to innovation and sustainability.

The workshop at Bangkok Metropolitan Administration City Hall explored urban resilience, livability, and governance reforms towards 2050. Discussions centered on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and transforming public policies, with participation from Thai, French, and international experts.

Attending Malaysia’s SBTi & Climate Symposium 2024 highlighted action over pledges, emphasizing the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) for systemic change. I also had the opportunity to reconnect with Hasrol Rosli, the sustainability visionary from PRASARANA MALAYSIA BERHAD at the event.

At the World Cities Summit 2024, I immersed myself in a session hosted by the UNDP Global Centre in Singapore. Reconnecting with the forward-thinking team at Arup solidified my dedication to sustainable urban development. Interactions with Malaysian leaders Dr. Maimunah Mohd Sharif and Nga Kor Ming resonated deeply.

Delighted to reconnect with Dr. Anbumozhi Venkatachalam, Director of Research Strategy & Innovations at ERIA (Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia). Our shared passion for smart and sustainable cities has sparked groundbreaking research discussions. Stay tuned for actionable policy recommendations!
