Sultan Selangor mahu perancangan projek WTE disegerakan

Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah, the Sultan of Selangor, is eager to see the planning and acceleration of a waste-to-energy (WTE) project within the state, according to information from Alam Shah Palace. The Sultan hopes that the Federal Government will assist in making the development process more efficient, noting that the project's implementation can reduce environmental pollution while addressing the growing sanitation waste management issues.

Sultan Sharafuddin emphasized that the agreement reached after signing the Management of Solid Waste and Public Cleansing Act 2007 (Act 672), involving three parties, would benefit all parties and ensure higher standards in solid waste management and public cleansing. He also stressed that no compromises or degradation in service performance and quality are allowed, including punctuality and frequency of waste collection.

During his recent visit to Copenhagen, Denmark, Sultan Sharafuddin took inspiration from the Amager Bakke WTE facility (CopenHill), which combines industrial efficiency, environmental preservation, and public welfare. The Sultan hopes that the planning and acceleration of a WTE project in Selangor can be achieved through suitable assistance from the Federal Government in the near future.

He received meetings with the Housing, Local Government, and Public Works Minister, Nga Kor Ming, and Selangor Chief Minister Amirudin Shari, along with Selangor State Secretary Ahmad Fadzli Ahmad Tajuddin, to discuss the matter.
