  原标题:Insights | Beijing's green development experience worth learning: Malaysian official

  (ECNS) -- With urbanization accelerating, Malaysia, like many developing nations, faces both opportunities and challenges in its urban growth. Chiong Yoke Kong, special function officer to Malaysia's Minister of Transport, recently visited China to explore the potential for cooperation between Malaysia and China in areas such as urban development and talent exchange.

  Chiong highlighted during an interview with China News Network that Malaysia can benefit significantly from global urban development models. However, while there are significant opportunities, the country faces key hurdles, including limited funding and a shortage of skilled professionals needed to manage urbanization efforts effectively.

  He noted that urban upgrades demand considerable financial resources, but for developing countries, allocating such large investments can be difficult, potentially widening the urban-rural development gap.

  He emphasized that "Beijing and several other major cities in China serve as excellent examples for Malaysia, particularly in smart city initiatives and green development."

  During his visits, Chiong observed Beijing's rapid strides toward its "dual carbon" green goals. He noted that the majority of the city's taxis and electric bikes used by residents are powered by clean energy, improving both residents' quality of life and creating a quieter, more environmentally friendly cityscape.

  Chiong, who visits Beijing every two to three years, remarked on the significant changes in the city, especially in the widespread adoption of new energy vehicles. "When it comes to urban upgrading, China is clearly ahead of us," he stated. He believes that this progress positions China as a valuable partner for Malaysia in technology transfer and talent development.

  Citing cultural heritage preservation as an example, Chiong pointed out that Chinese experts are actively working on balancing modern development with the protection of historical sites. "If we invest in cultivating talent, such as sending our students and technicians to be trained in China, they can gain invaluable insights from China's development. On returning to Malaysia, these experiences could greatly benefit our own urban projects," he explained.

  On the broader prospects for Sino-Malaysian collaboration, Chiong stressed the potential within the Belt and Road Initiative. He noted that the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL), a key infrastructure project jointly advanced by both nations, will greatly bolster Malaysia's position in international freight logistics.

  "I look forward to stronger exchanges in talent, technology, and expertise between our two countries," Chiong concluded.
