KUALA LUMPUR (June 1): Renowned experts, consultants and industry practitioners from over 15 countries would converge remotely for the Global Net-Zero Action Conference 2021 from June 8-11, to promote transformation towards a net-zero economy. Datuk Dr Abdul Aziz S.A. Kadir, chairman of Confexhub, the conference co-organiser along with the Malaysian Industry-Government Group for High Technology (MIGHT), said the group has prepared the forum for the need of systemic shifts that are expected to change the trajectory of greenhouse gas (GHC) levels in the atmosphere, which in turn will promote transformation towards a net-zero economy.

Can truth be stranger than fiction? Perhaps in a world gone mad, the lines between truth and fiction are sometimes blurred.
Certainly, with the stories in the
Kisah Futures Anthology, anything is possible.
Utopian and dystopian stories both make an appearance in this compilation of stories.
There is time travel, robots and holographic transmissions, but also tales of delivery people, frontliners and vaccines. A fan of science fiction, romance or adventure? You will find something here.
“Most anthologies are carefully curated, sitting within specific bookseller genres, whereas this one is as ‘majmuk’ and multifarious as our population. What also makes this anthology special is that the stories are written by our people - Malaysians and Malaysian residents - from all walks of life, says Maya Tan, Think City brand and communications lead.
