I am pleased to welcome all delegates and participants to the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre for the 6th ELECTRICASIA Expo & Forum, the Asian International Electrical Engineering & Power Industry Show which is formerly known as TENAGA Expo & Forum to reflect its position as one of the primary industry gatherings for the power and energy sector in the region to update on the latest technology, developments and opportunities for new business partnerships. As Malaysia's largest power company, TNB is entrusted with the responsibility of ensuring sufficient, reliable and quality electricity supply to meet the current and future needs of home, commercial and industrial users at an affordable cost. In spite of the spike in crude oil and coal prices in recent years, accompanied unabated by increase in raw material prices, electricity costs in Malaysia remain one of the lowest in the region. We will continue with our programme to improve efficiencies in all areas including leveraging on both new human resource tools, latest technologies and best management practices. At the same time, we will continue to support the growth of local manufacturers through the TNB Entrepreneurs Development Programme by focusing on improving quality and capacity to compete in the global market. The future for power producers will certainly be a challenging one. High fossil fuel cost is here to stay. More importantly, the world is waking up to the impact of the green house on global warming. There is an urgent need for the energy sector to play and active role in limitng greenhouse gases emission and at the same time, moving towards a more proportionate renewable and eco friendly enery sources. As such, ELECTRIC ASIA 2008 Expo & Forum will be a timely platform for the industry to share experiences, network and examine the latest technologies and solutions in electric generation, transmission, distribution and installations, TNB is please to extend our support to this initiative undertaken by AMB Exhibitions Sdn Bhd. Make your participation at ELECTRIC ASIA 2008 Expo & Forum be a fruitful and rewarding experience.
