ABU DHABI: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak said a study will be conducted on alternative energy being developed by Abu Dhabi to see whether the technologies involved can be adopted in Malaysia.

"If this is the case, then we'll encourage Masdar City and the Mubadala Development Company to invest or collaborate with partners in Malaysia to develop alternative energy in our country," he said.

He told the Malaysian media this before departing for home after a one-day working visit to Abu Dhabi where he opened the "Invest Malaysia 2011" forum Sunday, Jan 30.

Najib took the opportunity to visit Masdar City, a carbon-neutral development costing billions of dollars in the desert of Abu Dhabi.

Masdar City is a high-density and pedestrian-friendly development where current and future renewable energy and clean technologies are showcased, marketed, researched, developed, tested and implemented. — Bernama
