Connecting a Visit to Hj Pa Jetty, Kemaman with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
Connecting a Visit to Hj Pa Jetty, Kemaman with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
A casual activity such as buying fresh fish at the Haji Pa Jetty in Kemaman actually carries a significant impact when viewed through the lens of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
When we interact with the local community to select fresh seafood, we are actively supporting economic sustainability, healthy food supply chains, and marine ecosystems.
we can connect this activity to the relevant SDGs:
1. SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production
1. SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production
Connection: Buying fish directly from the jetty reduces the transportation carbon footprint compared to purchasing imported fish or seafood that passes through lengthy middleman supply chains.
Community & Fish Selection: When you and the community choose locally caught, seasonal fish, it promotes responsible consumption patterns and minimizes food waste at the supply chain level.
2. SDG 14: Life Below Water
2. SDG 14: Life Below Water
Connection: Traditional fishing jetties often feature seafood caught using small-scale, artisanal methods that are much more eco-friendly than large-scale industrial trawling.
Community & Fish Selection: The process of "selecting fish" alongside the local community and fishermen serves as an informal space for knowledge sharing. A conscious community will avoid buying juvenile fish (fish that are too small), ensuring that fish reproduction in Kemaman waters remains sustainable.
3. SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth
3. SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth
Connection: Every ringgit spent at the Haji Pa Jetty flows directly into the pockets of local fishermen and small-scale traders in Kemaman.
Community & Fish Selection: This directly boosts the micro-economy of coastal communities, sustains traditional livelihoods, and ensures the economic resilience of the local population.
4. SDG 2: Zero Hunger & Food Security
4. SDG 2: Zero Hunger & Food Security
Connection: Fish is an affordable, accessible source of high-quality protein and essential micronutrients for society.
Community & Fish Selection: Choosing fresh fish together with the community reflects localized access to safe, nutritious food, thereby strengthening food security within the Kemaman district.
"A visit to the Hj Pa Jetty in Kemaman is about more than just getting fresh catch; it is a direct contribution to SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption) and SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth). By choosing fresh seafood alongside the local community, we are not only supporting the livelihoods of traditional fishermen but also cultivating sustainable, fresh, and low-carbon food choices. This is our small step toward safeguarding local food security in a green and harmonious way.. Hj. Pa Fishermen's Jetty (or Haji Pah Jetty) is located in Kampung Geliga, near Kuala Kemaman, Terengganu. This jetty is very popular among local residents for buying a variety of fresh seafood directly, freshly brought ashore by fishing boats at reasonable prices.

A discussion was held between the Head of the Smartgreen Unit and the Head of the Focus Area for Waste Management, alongside the Deputy Director of Academics at PSA. The discussion centered around PESIS (Pejabat Sifar Sisa / Zero Waste Office), which is set to be launched on June 26, 2026, in collaboration with SWCorp to provide exposure regarding the initiative.
This plan is highly commendable and will bring high-quality impacts to waste management, particularly at PSA. Its primary objective is to reduce waste sent to landfills through the implementation of zero-waste practices at PSA. Additionally, it aims to track the total weight (in kilograms) of waste that can be reused, converted into organic matter, and sold under the "Trash to Cash" program. This approach serves to educate the campus community, fostering awareness and cultivating sustainable habits within the institution.

Benefits of the Green Campus Centre Policy
Benefits of the Green Campus Centre Policy
The approval and implementation of this policy offer several major institutional advantages:
Structured Framework & Governance: It provides an official, legally recognized guideline that institutionalizes eco-friendly practices, making sustainability a mandatory standard for all staff and students rather than just a voluntary effort.
Cost Efficiency: By regulating and auditing energy, water, and paper usage, the policy directly reduces the institution's operational costs and utility bills over time.
Enhanced Institutional Reputation: Having a formal green policy signed by top management elevates PSA’s profile as a socially and environmentally responsible (ESG-compliant) institution.
Culture of Sustainability: It bridges the gap between theory and practice, transforming the campus into a "living lab" where students learn sustainable habits they can carry into their future careers.
Alignment with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
Alignment with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
This official policy serves as the backbone for achieving multiple global goals at the campus level:
SDG 4: Quality Education
It embeds Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) into the campus environment. Students are educated not just by text, but by the sustainable ecosystem operating around them.
SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities
A university or college campus functions as a micro-city. By establishing a green policy, the institution ensures that its infrastructure, waste management, and energy consumption are sustainable and resilient.
SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production
The policy provides the necessary authority to back initiatives like PESIS (Zero Waste Office), giving structural teeth to mandates like single-use plastic bans and green procurement.
SDG 13: Climate Action
A formal institutional commitment allows for measurable carbon footprint reductions through energy efficiency strategies, green building practices, and campus-wide carbon offset programs.

Video simulation
"crush a plastic bottle" or "flatten a plastic bottle."
Crushing plastic bottles before disposal significantly optimizes waste management logistics by reducing the volume of plastic waste. When a bottle is flattened, it takes up up to 80% less space in recycling bins and collection trucks. This volume reduction means waste management vehicles can transport significantly more materials per trip, drastically lowering the number of collection rounds needed. Consequently, this efficiency reduces fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions from transport vehicles, directly supporting SDG 13: Climate Action.
Furthermore, this simple habit plays a crucial role in promoting responsible consumption and circular economies. Empty, uncrushed bottles often trap air and take up valuable space in landfills, or worse, they easily roll away and become litter in oceans and terrestrial ecosystems. By flattening bottles and securing the cap, we prevent them from blowing away into storm drains and water bodies, thereby protecting marine life and land ecosystems. This directly aligns with the targets of SDG 14: Life Below Water and SDG 15: Life on Land.
Ultimately, crushing plastic bottles is a foundational step toward achieving SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production. It enhances the efficiency of recycling facilities by ensuring that materials arrive organized and compact, making sorting and processing more cost-effective. By adopting this minor behavioral change, individuals contribute to a more sustainable waste lifecycle, reducing our collective reliance on virgin plastics and fostering a cleaner, more sustainable planet.
