Turning waste into wealth


The Pantai 2 regional sewage treatment plant was officially launched by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak on May 25.

PEOPLE generally do not bother where their refuse goes. And for sewage, that is even more so, and can pose a major problem if it is not disposed of safely.

According to Indah Water Konsortium Sdn Bhd (IWK) chairman Tan Sri Abu Zahar Ujang (pic), Malaysians produce 5.1 million cubic metres of sewage everyday – easily filling up 2,000 Olympic-sized swimming pools.
