00:42A platform designed to enact a movement for environmental stewardship
00:48and sustainable innovation.
00:50Today, we are not just launching a program,
00:54but empowering a generation of young minds
00:58to transform challenges into opportunity
01:01and problems into sustainable solutions.
01:04We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors,
01:07we borrow it from our children.
01:09These age-old proverbs remind us of our responsibility
01:15to leave a better world for future generations.

01:31This event will impact me on letting me know more
01:35about sustainable goals, especially in plastic
01:38because I think Malaysia is one of the bigger producers
01:41and consumers in plastics.
01:43As an innovator, I would call myself,
01:45I think I will share more ideas.
01:48If any businesses will have more considerations
01:51and they can take part of my ideas as well,
01:54I think that will be more impactful as well.
01:56I think we are still very young
01:58and then it takes a long journey for us
02:00to grow our business or create awareness.
02:03I will create my awareness around my close ones first
02:07and then when I have like a sustainable business,
02:09I will try to engage more and then create more campaign
02:12as well as like this kind of campaign for the young people.
02:16I think universities are very important
02:18because as we teach, as we walk the talk,
02:23our students will pick this up
02:25and hopefully they will bring it home.
02:27They'll bring it to their friends out there.
02:29They themselves become the change agents
02:32for the community, for their own families
02:35and we hope for the world as well.
02:37Sustainable Development Goal Number 17
02:40is actually partnership for the goals.
02:42At the end of the day, you really need to work
02:45with each other. Industries are huge
02:48and you can imagine the impact that they can make.
