Hamid Jasmin, a diligent school gardener and also a dedicated village chief told us that he quitted school when he was fourteen years old. "Despite of not receiving high education, I managed to invent this with all the knowledge that I have that God gives me.", Hamid found the solution to his village's problem, he innovated Micro Hydro Power System.
His Micro Hydro system utilizes a small river to generate enough electricity to 20 houses in the village every day. With the help of Yayasan Inovasi Malaysia and High Impact Programme (HIP6), Hamid Jasmin's innovation is now being improved and replicated to benefit other rural communities in Sabah and also in Peninsular Malaysia.
