“…Our planet has given us a great deal, but only some have access to it or know how to utilise it effectively, so millions of people are famished. If new technologies and equitable distribution systems are used to promote sustainable agriculture, it will be possible to feed the entire world's population and eradicate hunger forever (Nik Athirah Nik Mahdi et al, 2022). The fourth Sustainable Development Goal focuses on education quality and equity, while SDG 5 addresses gender equality by emphasising eliminating discrimination against women and girls everywhere.…”

The Malaysian Parliament established the All-Party Parliamentary Group Malaysia on the Sustainable Development Goals (APPGM-SDG) in response to growing public awareness of Sustainable Development Goals 2030 (SDG, 2030). One of the purposes of this researchis to examine the SDG implications of beneficiary solution projects as part of a bipartisan endeavour to improve the implementation of SDG targets in Malaysian parliamentary seats. In the Central Region, which encompasses the parliamentary seats of a few districts in Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, and Pahang, a team is entrusted with compiling a report to combine the impact evaluation of SDG efforts. From October to December 2022, the regional research examined the effects of psychology and these projects' knowledge, skills, networks, and systems on the beneficiaries of the solution projects via document analysis, focus group discussions, and site visits. The effectiveness of solution providers in managing and carrying out projects, the effect on the beneficiaries, the alignment and mapping of the impact evaluations of the solution providers with the SDG goals and APPGM-SDG modules, and the identification of challenges and suggested fixes are also covered in the paper. The research also presents the quantitative analysis performed by the evaluators using standardised questionnaires that gauge six (6) essential factors: Deep, Wide, Clear, High, SDG, and Gender. The main finding is that eradicating poverty isthe aim of every solution projects. Mostparticipants areunacquainted with the SDG, and COVID-19 has stifled most of the discourse. The research recommends combining online and offline approaches andadding employment possibilities toenhance communication between parties and give more significantopportunities for society after project execution.

“…This study’s findings on the benefits of GFT provide promising opportunities for smallholder rice farmers in Malaysia to improve soil fertility, reduce input costs, and increase yields. Moreover, promoting sustainable agricultural practices such as green fertilizers align with Malaysia’s commitment to achieving the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, including Goal 2 of zero hunger and Goal 15 of life on land (Mahdi et al, 2023). In particular, this research study’s implications are of great significance in the Malaysian context and could positively impact the country’s agricultural sector’s sustainability and resilience.…”

This study investigates the relationship between socio-psychological factors, innovation attributes, behavior intention, and green fertilizer technology (GFT) adoption among Malaysian paddy farmers. The study also examined whether behavior intention mediated the relationship between socio-psychological factors and green fertilizer technology. The study collected data from 170 paddy farmers in Malaysia’s Kedah and Perak states. The study used a quantitative research design and analyzed the data using the SmartPLS 4 software. The study’s results indicate a positive and significant relationship between the socio-psychological factors, innovation attributes, behavior intention, and the adoption of GFT. Specifically, the study found that the socio-psychological factors significantly positively affect farmers’ behavior intention to adopt GFT. Further, innovation attributes significantly impact farmers’ behavior and intention to adopt GFT. The study’s findings provide several implications for policymakers, extension agents, and other stakeholders interested in promoting the adoption of GFT among Malaysian paddy farmers. The study suggests that promoting positive attitudes toward GFT, creating awareness of the benefits of GFT, and improving farmers perceived behavioral control may increase farmers’ intention to adopt GFT. Additionally, policymakers should develop GFT that is simple and compatible with farmers’ needs, making it easier for farmers to adopt. Moreover, this study contributes to the literature on adopting green technologies by highlighting the importance of socio-psychological factors and innovation attributes in shaping farmers’ behavior intention to adopt GFT. The study’s findings have practical implications for policymakers and other stakeholders interested in promoting the adoption of GFT among Malaysian paddy farmers.

“…As a result, the number of electrical consumers has increased steadily [2]. In accordance with the Malaysian government's commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), solar energy adoption has increased dramatically [3][4][5]. Moreover, the increase in electric vehicles and the establishment of charging stations for electric vehicles demonstrate the nation's support for the SDGs and its desire for a greener environment [6,7].…”

The Voltage Regulating Distribution Transformer (VRDT) is a tap-changing transformer that regulates the voltage across all three phases. However, its application in the context of renewable energy penetration into low-voltage grids remains understudied. This paper addresses this research gap by presenting a refined voltage drop model tailored for the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) distribution network. Based on a derived mathematical equation, the model is validated and analyzed using Simulink's modeling platform. Simulations are performed without and with the VRDT, revealing that renewable energy penetration can cause instability, leading to voltage deviations proportional to the injected renewable energy. Incorporating the VRDT in the low-voltage grid allows for voltage adjustment under loaded conditions, ensuring uninterrupted renewable energy injection. Voltage stability analysis is conducted using actual load consumption data from the IIUM network for 2020 and 2021, offering valuable insights despite assuming equal energy consumption across buildings. Most hostels exhibit stable distribution systems with solar energy, but instability arises when solar energy comprises 100% of the input for the Safiyyah and Zubair hostels' 11kV distribution transformers. Implementing the VRDT regulates this instability, restoring system stability. This study highlights the importance of VRDT integration in high renewable energy proportion low-voltage grids, enabling voltage regulation and stability under variable renewable energy injection scenarios. The findings demonstrate that VRDTs mitigate voltage instability caused by renewable energy, providing a reliable solution for incorporating renewables into low-voltage distribution networks. It contributes to understanding renewable energy's impact on distribution system stability and offers guidance for VRDT implementation in similar contexts.
