Sarawak Premier Abang Johari has proposed introducing electric buses in Miri to reduce air and noise pollution as part of the city's low-carbon development plan. Speaking at the Taste of Borneo Cultural Carnival, he said the buses would produce no smoke and operate quietly, improving urban air quality. He also mentioned a 500 MW gas turbine power project in Miri, with plans to add another 500 MW by 2029, to support the city's growing electricity needs. The proposal aligns with broader efforts to decarbonize transport in Sarawak. The article also notes the Miri Smart City Command Centre, which uses digital tools for city management and public safety. While the electric bus plan is still a proposal, the gas turbine expansion shows a concrete step toward increasing low-carbon power generation in the region.
