KUALA LUMPUR: The country has the moral duty to tackle its water challenges head-on or it will end up with a major water crisis in the future, says Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof.

Fadillah, who is also Energy Transition and Water Transformation Minister, said that although Malaysia boasts one of the most advanced water infrastructures in the region, water transformation should be continuous to ensure its sustainability for future generations.
