Questions
1.Why MY choose to forget that she has been running ''pool type reactor'' for 25 years!?
While she is going to set up Nuclear Monitoring Facility ''
to ensure that nuclear energy use in the region is only
for peaceful purposes and not for making weapons'',
MY purposely omits to mention she has a nuclear reactor
at back yard and she aims to nuclear electricity by 2020!!

2.Why MY needs 200 ha of land for Nuclear Monitoring Facility ?
Is it for the future reactor in the name of Nuclear Monitoring Facility ?
FYI,it is near a air force base.

MY nuke history and plan
3.Malaysian Nuclear Licensing Board said that plans for nuclear power after 2020 should be brought forward and two reactors built much sooner.

Malaysia produced 78 billion kWh in 2003, 93% of this from fossil fuels - mostly natural gas, the balance from hydro.

A comprehensive energy policy study including consideration of nuclear power will be completed before 2010. The state-owned utility TNB is tentatively in favour of nuclear power and in August 2006 the Malaysian Nuclear Licensing Board said that plans for nuclear power after 2020 should be brought forward and two reactors built much sooner. This intention has since been reiterated from the Ministry of Science, Technology & Innovation.

The Malaysian Institute for Nuclear Technology Research has operated a 1 MW Triga research reactor since 1982. In April 2007 MINT was renamed the Malaysian Nuclear Agency (or Nuclear Malaysia) to reflect its role in promoting the peaceful uses of atomic energy.

Malaysia To Build First Nuclear Monitoring Facility In Asean

MUADZAM SHAH, July 14 (Bernama) -- Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak announced that Malaysia will build a Nuclear Monitoring Facility, the first of its kind in Asean, at a location in Bukit Ibam near here.

The RM100-million facility will be the 16th of its kind in the world.

"If all goes well, Malaysia will become the first developing country to have its own nuclear monitoring facility and the first in Asean," he said at a "Leaders Meet the People" function here.

Also present was Science, Technology and Innovations Minister Datuk Seri Dr Jamaluddin Jarjis.

Jamaluddin when met by reporters afterwards, said work on the facility on a 200-hectare site was expected to start by the end of the year and should be completed in three years.

"It will be managed by the Atomic Energy Licensing Board (AELB) and its main function is to ensure that nuclear energy use in the region is only for peaceful purposes and not for making weapons," he said.

Dr Jamaluddin said it was being built in collaboration with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) based in Vienna, Austria.

"It also will play a role to ensure Malaysia and the region continue to remain free of any nuclear threat," he said.

On the experts needed for it, Dr Jamaluddin said all would be locals and that 66 people had already been identified.

"Countries in South-East Asia have plans to build nuclear reactors to generate electricity. Indonesia will commence its nuclear energy programme in 2016, Vietnam in 2018 and Thailand in 2021.

"As such, this facility in Malaysia will help ensure there is no nuclear proliferation in the region," he added.

Why MY dunt mention she is also has nuke programme?

5.The Monitoring Facility is near air force base--http://www.zaobao.com/yx/yx070715_501.html
15.07.2007 zao bao

6.total area of existing 2 complex,which have been using for over 2o years, is only 109 ha.Why the new monitoring faciilty
need 200 ha?

....Infrastructural development on the 27-hectare at Bangi commenced in January 1979,....

To satisfy growing needs for additional space, a second 81-hectare, Kompleks Dengkil, site was acquired in 1984....

If MY states openly that she is also running a nuke programe and
she will has nuke generation by 2020,i would not bother.

MY acts like nuke police in SEA .She said she have to monitor
3 countries going to have nuke generators.

But MY forget she also going to nuke generation!!!

SingaporeMacross SG

Nuclear monitoring? They trying to emulate America? Laughing

What if they say we have WMDS..... -_-

maggot SG

They may have already got the info purchase in the nuclear black market

Just need a programme to hide it when some nuclear radiation emits out Laughing

Fingolfin_Noldor SG

Well done. We should call Woodbridge and tell them we have a moron on the internet blabbering about Malaysia nuking us, and at the same time, forgetting that Johor will be hit by radioactive fallout because of their relatively primitive weapons.

Oops! Laughing

miserable SG

Fear not ...... The moron can say anything, still an A+ for his trend. Cool Cool Cool

Btw check out this youtube video, let our Malaysian counterpart speaks. This will help you to relax and not so be a paranoid. Mr. Green

cloud210 SG

can’t even handle domestic issues such as the raping and robbering in JB last month den wan to handle nukes.. i have great doubts in them operating a nuclear facility

lionnoisy SG

I am very confused what MY has said and done.
Now DPM says MY NO plan to use nuclear as a source of
energy!!It contradict what i quoted here that MY will have nuke energy
by 2020.

Hydro Still Malaysia's Main Source Of Energy - Najib===General

KUALA LUMPUR, July 17 (Bernama) -- Hydro power is still Malaysia's main source of energy and the country has no plans to use nuclear as a source of energy, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said today.

He told visiting International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) director-general Mohamad ElBaradei that Malaysia proposed to use existing nuclear technology research facilities solely for research and development purposes.

"I told him hydro would be our option," said Najib, who is also Defence Minister, to reporters after meeting ElBaradei at the Defence Ministry.....

2.At least in Nov 2006,MY has not decided this issue.

(Science and Technology Minister Jamaluddin Jarjis was quoted as saying by the national news agency, Bernama).Jamaluddin said Malaysia hasn't decided whether it wants to try to use nuclear technology as an energy source, but added that it might consider doing so if gasoline prices rise too much

"The site, covering some 200ha, will be run by locals. We have 66 scientists who are expert in nuclear-related subjects. Many of them are already involved in various multi-lateral works with the International Atomic Energy Agency," he added.

Hmmm.....Maybe SAF should send you on a covert operation to seek to the real truth. Rolling Eyes

How about u go KL and kidnap their Prime Minister then extract the real truth from him ??? Mr. Green

ferryman2393 SG

confusing. as far as i’m concerned hydro has never been MY main source of energy.

tankfanatic SG

dude last time i check they use the reactor for argricultural research

ferryman2393 SG

MY used to have a 4 energy source policy ie oil, gas, hydro & coal to avoid over dependency on a single source. now it is 5 energy sources with the addition of bio based fuel. nuclear energy was never taken seriously.

beavan SG

hydro?

they have dams? i never knew.

tankfanatic SG

ofcourse.. the kenyir lake is the result of that dam. oh how i miss the fish there….

lionnoisy SG

2.My opening post shows that 7% power from hydro.
So DPM seems has hidden agenda!!

caksz SG

7 % is from hydro and the rest is unrenewable source , nuclear power is the
only good source to cover the 93% need of energy . With limited budget and treaty when will they produce their own reactor. Better start now , even it's take 20- 30 years you still learn something through the process. At some point countries had to change to nuke for energy , nuke is the current alternative energy that can generate huge amount of power Surprised

lionnoisy SG

MY is marching forward to get nuke energy!!

Treaty of the Southeast Asia Nuclear Weapon-Free Zone, December 1995

Abstract: This treaty was written in affirmation of the necessity of a Southeast Asia Nuclear Weapon-Free Zone in order to realize the Zone of Peace, Freedom and Neutrality advocated in the 1971 ZOPFAN Declaration. It plans for the progressive undertaking of concrete action by ASEAN towards general and complete disarmament, and the upholding of the international non-proliferation system. This treaty allows for nuclear energy to be used for peaceful purposes particularly economic development and social progress on condition of conformity to International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) guidelines and standards.

These Basic Undertakings, to be binding both inside and outside the Zone, are indicative of the emphasis being placed on establishing shared norms (in this case, of anti-nuclearization) among ASEAN states, not merely common action.

A number of mechanisms have been put in place to enforce the implementation of the treaty, including allowances for information exchange, clarification and fact-finding missions, as well as a system of controls and safeguards. Cooperation with international organizations is encouraged to facilitate the enforcement of the treaty. The treaty is to remain in force indefinitely, and any partys breach of it will give other States the right to withdraw from it.

at the Fifth ASEAN Summit in Bangkok, on 15 December 1995. Of the ten countries that signed the SEANWFZ Treaty, Brunei Darussalam was represented by H.R.H. Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah, Indonesia by President Soeharto, the Kingdom of Cambodia by both of its power-sharing Prime Ministers, viz, its First Prime Minister HRH Prince Norodom Ranaridh, and Second Prime Minister Hun Sen, the Lao People's Democratic Republic by Prime Minister Khamtay Siphandone, Malaysia by Prime Minister Dato' Seri Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, the Union of Myanmar by its Chairman of the State Law and Order Restoration Council and Prime Minister, General Than Shwe, the Republic of the Philippines by President Fidel V. Ramos, the Republic of Singapore by Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong, the Kingdom of Thailand by Prime Minister Banharn Silpa-Archa, and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam by Prime Minister Vo Van Kiet.

As provided for in Article 16 of the SEANWFZ Treaty, it entered into force on 27 March 1997, upon the deposit of the instrument of ratification of the seventh ratifying State, by Cambodia. Malaysia deposited its instrument of ratification in 1996, and, to date, all of the signatory States have ratified the SEANWFZ Treaty, with the exception of the Philippines.

Following its entry into force on 27 March 1997, a Commission responsible for overseeing the implementation of the SEANWFZ Treaty, and ensuring compliance with its provisions, was established in pursuant to Article 8 of the Treaty. The Commission, composed of the Foreign Ministers of each State Party, is assisted by the Executive Committee, which is a subsidiary organ established under Article 9 of the Treaty and composed of senior officials of each State Party.

The inaugural meeting of the SEANWFZ Commission was held in Singapore on 24 July 1999, in conjunction with the 32nd ASEAN Ministerial Meeting. In that inaugural meeting, the Commission directed its Executive Committee to prepare the draft rules of procedure, and to initiate all necessary actions to ensure compliance with the Treaty, including consultations with the nuclear weapon States, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), and other related bodies.

but a treaty is just a paper... its worth is measured by the integrity, honor and trustworthiness of the parties involved..... which in the case of malaysia... they score rock bottom low on all 3. Laughing
