The Sarawak Corridor of Renewable Energy (SCORE) is a new development corridor in central Sarawak, a state of Malaysia that is part of the island of Borneo. SCORE was launched on 11 February 2008. It is one of the five regional development corridors being developed throughout the country. According to promotional material, it aims to accelerate the state's economic growth, as well as improve the quality of life for the people of Sarawak. Overseas interest is key to the development of SCORE with investment now totalling about US$30 billion in the aluminium, the polysilicon, and minerals-based industries as well as agriculture including aquaculture and the halal hub. In addition Chinese investors have recently pledged US$11 billion and Arab investors US$7 billion in the energy and aluminium clusters.

Famous quotes containing the words corridor and/or energy:
“And now in one hour’s time I’ll be out there again. I’ll raise my eyes and look down that corridor four feet wide with ten lonely seconds to justify my whole existence.”
—Colin Welland (b. 1934)
“Because humans are not alone in exhibiting such behavior—bees stockpile royal jelly, birds feather their nests, mice shred paper—it’s possible that a pregnant woman who scrubs her house from floor to ceiling [just before her baby is born] is responding to a biological imperative . . . . Of course there are those who believe that . . . the burst of energy that propels a pregnant woman to clean her house is a perfectly natural response to their mother’s impending visit.”
—Mary Arrigo (20th century)
