Waste not, want not


THE Energy, Green Technology and Water Ministry (KeTTHA) is rolling up its sleeves to restructure and consolidate the country’s water sector.

The process to acquire the country’s water concessionaire companies and integrate them under the regulatory framework of WSIA must be expedited, says KeTTHA secretary-general Datuk Seri Dr Zaini Ujang. WSIA’s implementation is essential but it’s been dragging on for too long, says the 52-year-old.
