He emphasised that the development of this first sustainable R&R is a significant step toward prioritising facilities that benefit the public.
“I have travelled this highway for decades, and I have never seen an R&R as impressive and sustainable as this one. The people of Seremban and Negeri Sembilan are fortunate to have such a facility; it is a great start for both traders and the community,” he said.
“This marks a crucial milestone for our country — balancing development with addressing the needs of the grassroots. This R&R features the best surau, incorporating natural ventilation, solar energy, and water conservation. I extend my gratitude for this outstanding initiative,” he added.
“This fantastic facility is unique to Seremban. If we are committed to innovation and sustainability, we can elevate our country to greater heights,” he said. — Bernama

Petronas is set to produce Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) domestically by 2028, says Transport Minister Anthony Loke.
He said the use of SAF was crucial to Malaysia’s goal of achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050.
He said that no airlines in Malaysia currently use SAF due to high costs and limited production, but added that SAF was a low-carbon alternative to conventional jet fuel, offering a significant way to reduce the aviation sector’s carbon footprint.
“Petronas is leading the effort to produce SAF and has already started planning and developing strategies for its production. I’ve been informed that Petronas could begin production as early as 2028, with full-scale operations anticipated within the next three to four years,” he said at the launch of the Malaysian Aviation Sector Decarbonisation Roadmap (MADB) here, today.
Also present was Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability Minister Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad.
The MADB outlines a strategic framework to drive the green economy and decarbonise the aviation sector by 2050.
It includes measures to reduce emissions through aircraft technology, operational improvements, SAF use, and carbon offsetting, following the guidelines set by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO). – nst.com
