  "account": "Sultan Selangor, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah, is keen to see the development of a waste-to-energy (WTE) project in his state expedited and accelerated with support from the federal government. According to a statement from the Alam Shah Palace, the Sultan hopes the federal government can facilitate the development process, which will not only reduce environmental pollution but also address the increasingly problematic issue of sanitary landfill sites.\n\nExpressing his views, Sultan Sharafuddin expects that the harmonization of the Waste Management Act 2007 and the Public Cleansing Act 2007 (Act 672) can benefit all parties involved and ensure better management levels for waste processing and public cleansing services. He emphasizes that after the agreement is signed, there will be no compromise or decline in the performance and quality of waste management and public cleansing services, including punctuality and frequency of collections.\n\nRecently, Sultan Sharafuddin visited the Amager Bakke WTE facility in Copenhagen, Denmark, which was built with the concept of integrating industrial efficiency, environmental preservation, and public welfare. He hopes that the development and acceleration of a WTE project in Selangor can be pursued with appropriate assistance from the federal government in the near future.",
