Melaka Will Be The First State In Malaysia To Use Electric Bus

As we know, Melaka is well known as the ‘Green Technology state’ in Malaysia. In June 2013, Historical City of Malacca has earned a place in the international arena after being honoured with an internationally acclaimed Green Apple Environment Award in recognition of the council’s environmental best practice. The award was accredited for the first time to a local authority in the country. It shows the commitment of the state of Melaka in supporting the use of green technology.
