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 Water Services Industry Act 2006 (WSIA) was introduced a decade ago but to date, only half of the states in the peninsula have migrated. 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.
