Siemens Malaysia rewarded the creativity and passion o f Malaysian studentscompeting in the German electronics firm's SieMyCity Competition to build city-management simulation games for an ideal and sustainable Kuala Lumpur.

During the presentation o f prizes to the top three teams, Siemens Malaysiapresident and chief executive o fficer, Prakash Chandran, said: "In 2050, it isexpected that 70 percent o f the world's population will be living in cities like KualaLumpur."

"Cities are engines for growth, employment and prosperity but the downside to thisdevelopment is evident in no ise, slums, po llution and traffic chaos," said Chandran."We created the SieMyCity Competition to get the youth o f today thinking about asustainable tomorrow."

"We wanted the young participants to understand the trade-offs invo lved inaddressing real challenges that cities face - climate change, urbanisation,globalisation, safety and security," he said. "We wanted to encourage the youth totranslate their approaches to urban sustainability into a platform that would be fun,yet educational and informative."

The prize winners were The Rook (1st Prize) and Greenpeas (2nd Prize), both fromUniversiti Kebangsaan Malaysia and Noedar (3rd Prize) from Asia Pacific University.

The teams were judged principally on the ability to 'inject the concept o f sustainablecity development into the game while maintaining the core factors that make anygame a success - playability, ease o f navigation, design and o f course enjoyment.'
