Tackling Modern Sewerage Challenges

  • We mark World Toilet Day by examining one of Malaysia’s most overlooked essentials, our national sewerage system. Rising costs, ageing infrastructure, climate risks and rapid urbanisation are straining Malaysia’s sewerage system. We speak to Indah Water Konsortium’s CEO Narendran Maniam, on how it is tackling this issue and more.
