*Sarawak's Push for Green Energy Faces Scrutiny After Fatal Industrial Accidents*
John Brian commented on industrial accidents at the Samalaju Industrial Park that are becoming more frequent and costing lives. Two incidents that happened only 3 weeks apart, the first was the explosion at the OCIM sdn.bhd chemical factory which killed 2 lives and injured 8 people on 14 August 2024 and this morning there were several large explosions in the Press Metal aluminum smelting factory in Samalaju. My initial reaction is that the authorities must issue an immediate media statement to allay the public's fears. Samalaju Assemblyman Majang Renggie, Sarawak Industry Minister- Awang Tengah, Niosh chairman and DOSH chairman. So far no one has given an explanation. Both a thorough investigation should be done. I think, in Sarawak's enthusiasm to lead the green energy industry and energy transition. They lack carefulness and weak leadership in the field of job security. The work system is not organized, ministers do not understand their responsibilities and security is not tightened. In the GAS industry, smelting, chemical and so on. Will use a lot of electricity. Therefore the safety aspect is very important. The question is why Korea and Japan are willing to buy green Hydrogen from Sarawak by 2027?. Because the hydrogen production process is very risky. They are willing to buy expensive as long as they don't sacrifice the safety of their people. Due to the negligence of plant operators in the country involved, they face prison terms. This means, if Sarawak is serious about developing the hydrogen industry. The safety aspect is paramount. The explosion at the metal press factory in Samalaju happened 24 hours after the Premier of Sarawak spoke at the PetroleumAsia Pacific 2024 conference in Singapore. In his speech Abang Jo said- Sarawak wants to strengthen its position as a global leader in the green hydrogen market including ASEAN and ASIA PACIFIC
