PETALING JAYA: The government will introduce Natural Gas Roadmap (NGR) as early as the first quarter of 2021 because natural gas will continue to be the energy of choice as the world goes through an inevitable energy transition to tackle the issue of climate change, according to Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.

He pointed out that the NGR would form a key part of the larger National Energy Policy that would be a policy framework in the country’s energy sector under the 12th Malaysia Plan, 2021-2025.
