The globally observed 'Earth Hour' campaign is not just a symbolic act of switching off the lights for one hour, but carries a deeper message on environmental sustainability. In the country, the public has responded positively to the initiative, viewing it as an important reminder of increasingly concerning energy consumption.

'Earth Hour' is seen as the perfect platform for the community to appreciate the importance of protecting natural resources. Organised by the Survey Department, Ministry of Development, this year's event was held at Taman Mahkota Jubli Emas in the capital. The event featured astronomy activities, including observation of the moon, planets, and stars. Special equipment, such as telescopes and cameras, were provided by the Survey Department to facilitate public participation. Participants shared their views on the benefits of conserving the nation's energy resources."
