The signing ceremony began with welcome remarks from Prof. Shahir Liew, followed by a speech from Dato' Setia Dr. J.P. Tan. Both leaders expressed enthusiasm for the partnership and a shared commitment to advancing work in renewable and green energy. The formal signing was followed by a discussion on potential projects and the way forward. 

Looking ahead, Hualang Renewable Energy will propose specific collaboration projects to UNM, with both parties exploring opportunities across the renewable energy space. Upon securing funding, there will also be possibilities for UNM postgraduate research students to be appointed as Research Assistants on joint projects, providing valuable research experience at the intersection of academia and industry. 

The execution of this MoU marks another milestone in UNM's ongoing efforts to forge meaningful industry partnerships that translate academic expertise into real-world impact.
