Malaysia’s Carbon Future: Progress Or Pitfall?

The Carbon, Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) Bill 2025 is a key milestone in Malaysia’s low-carbon transition, but uncertainties linger over its execution and impact. The government sees it as crucial for carbon regulation, while industry leaders argue it’s vital for competitiveness. Critics warn of weak oversight, and with Sabah and Sarawak excluded, its broader economic and environmental implications remain in question. Senior Lecturer at Asia School of Business (ASB) weighs in.
