your 10 questions for datuk ahmad faizal abdul rahman
Dato\' Ahmed faizar Abdul Rahman answered your 10 questions.
When can Malaysians drink taps like developed countries?
Vincent Khoo of MalaccaTo is safe to drink from the tap, the entire water supply chain must reach a certain quality, and this infrastructure must be maintained continuously.
The water treatment process starts at the entrance, then is delivered to the treatment plant for processing, and finally is delivered to the various houses, factories and buildings through the water supply system.
When the treated water leaves the treatment plant, the quality has been tested to ensure full compliance with the requirements of the Ministry of Health (MOH)
World Health Organization (WHO)
Therefore, drinking is safe.
However, before arriving at the individual residence, it will balance the reservoir through the pipeline from the treated water pump and then store it in the service or in the local reservoir/water tank.
At any point in the distribution system, if the system is not properly or regularly maintained, the previously drinkable treated water may be contaminated with silt, organisms, metals, etc.
Regular cleaning and flushing is required for reservoirs, pipelines and internal mesh systems.
This includes storage tanks in each individual house or building.
In addition, some pipes in the distribution system are made of asbestos cement, which is easier to burst.
This is not in our high country.
Level of income (NRW).
The constant repair of these pipes may further lead to these contamination through penetration or penetration.
In developed countries, it is possible to achieve the level of safe drinking water for faucets due to several factors;
For example, the quality of the materials used, such as stainless steel pipes or directly pumping the treated water from the treatment plant to the home.
In order to ensure that each consumer keeps the internal water system to a certain standard, punitive regulations have also been formulated.
However, all of this is a significant price paid by consumers we may not be able to afford or are not prepared to do in Malaysia.
All in all, when most of the aging pipes are refurbished or replaced, we can only expect to drink water directly from the faucet (
NRW levels below 10% will be ideal)
The operator and the public or building management department carry out the appropriate maintenance plan.
This can only be achieved if the income from the sale of treated water is sufficient to fund operations and maintenance.
How do you describe the \"water\" status of the water industry in Malaysia, especially Selangor?
Lam Lee Cheng of KLIn Selangor dessapark City has been working to consolidate the industry for the past few years, but so far, policymakers have failed to reach a practical compromise.
We are very concerned that due to the lack of capital development activities to improve and increase infrastructure and processed water supply, the impasse will lead to an inevitable water crisis in the near future.
This development cannot be achieved overnight.
Currently, most, if not all, of Selangor\'s water treatment plants operate continuously at full capacity without any reserve profit (
During peak hours)
The past year has seen strong domestic and industrial demand in Klang Valley.
This cannot continue indefinitely as equipment wear will eventually occur.
As long as our population and economy continue to grow, demand for water will continue to grow.
As a result, the situation that demand will soon exceed supply is imminent.
Is there a plan for the local water authority to convert seawater into drinking water or for industrial use?
PenangNaturally\'s Bernard KH Lim has conducted extensive research on the possible use of seawater.
China has abundant surface water resources (
Mainly from rivers)
It is one of the highest rainfall countries in the world.
In Malaysia, only about 10% of the available water sources obtained from rivers are used.
The development of these water resources is much more economical than the construction of desalination plants, and the cost of desalination plants may be as high as 5 times.
There are still some underground water resources to be fully developed.
At present, only one groundwater is formed.
Accounting for 4% of the total raw water extraction.
Unless all other water resources are exhausted, desalination plants will not be considered.
The most critical factor is insufficient supply of drinking water/treated water in the near future.
Our high NRW is a major contributing factor, currently 37% at the national level.
This means that in every liter of water produced/treated, 37% of the water flows out of the drain mainly through a pipe leak.
Reducing NRW will reduce the loss of water and will eventually provide more water for consumers.
How do you describe the quality of treated water in Malaysia compared to other Asian countries?
Tabitha CC Boi, PenangThe quality of treated water in Malaysia is in line with the Ministry of Health\'s \"national standard for drinking water quality in January 2004\" and in line with WHO global standards, including national standards in Asia.
Aset Air Bhd, penrushan (PAAB)
Efforts have been made to exceed minimum standards, especially in the development of new water treatment plants.
For example, the Ministry of Health stipulates that the turbidity of the treated water shall not exceed the Turbidity Unit (NTU)
But we design our factory to produce 1 or lower NTU water, usually similar to treated water in some advanced countries in Asia and Europe.
To ensure compliance with safe water standards, the Ministry of Health conducts regular testing of samples at different random locations.
The Department of Chemistry also tested other parameters not covered by the Ministry of Health.
Each water treatment operator is required to conduct their own tests at their factory at least every 2 hours.
But that alone is not enough to guarantee the quality of the treated water.
There are other factors that need to be taken into account, especially the quality of the distribution and the internal grid or piping system.
If so, what laws would you change to allow consumers across the country to enjoy clean water at a fair price?
Bulbir Singh of SerembanTo achieved a long-term
The long-term sustainability of water supply, the management and funding of water supply must be better organized and managed, and the National Water Service Commission (Span)and PAAB.
Of course, there may be a lot of initial problems that need further improvement.
Water Services Act (WSIA)
It wasn\'t launched until recently and we are in the first operating period.
Let\'s focus on the gradual implementation of the bill, rather than considering amending or introducing new laws, and perhaps fine-tuning any gaps or weaknesses in the process.
What has PAAB done for rakyat since the establishment of the unit?
The main goal of Eugenie Devan of KLPAAB Bangsar is to develop water assets and assist in the restructuring of the water services industry.
We have made positive progress in developing water assets in our relocated states, and as of April 2011 we have allocated 2010 of our capital expenditure to these states.
A large part of the allocation is to repair the pipes and connections to reduce NRW in their respective states.
This will effectively reduce the incidence of pipe burst, which will directly affect the stability of the consumer\'s water supply.
A 0. 105 billion liter/day water treatment plant was also developed at Selangor Sg Labu to ensure the safety of water supply at Kuala Lumpur International Airport and its vicinity.
The first phase was completed in June and will be fully completed in December.
Would you say that PAAB is \"still on track\" in achieving the goal of integrating the entire water sector across the country?
Wu Weilong, Taman DESA, KLWe is very likely.
When I took this responsibility, I was fully aware of changing this important thing that has always been national --
The park, which has been under control for decades, will not be a leisurely walk.
As we are in the final stages of negotiations with several other countries, five have been fully relocated and are optimistic that these discussions will be completed in the near future.
The water industry has been very fragmented and there are many issues to consider.
Since taking over from your former CEO, what\'s your biggest achievement in PAAB?
Since the establishment of PAAB in 2007, Ginger Leong, CherasThere has had several important milestones.
As CEO, my task is to continue the existing efforts to develop new methods, plans and strategies for achieving the national water structure adjustment policy.
To this end, every step of the process is an achievement.
During my tenure, PAAB not only completed the immigration of Perlis and Penang, but also started the operational development of the water infrastructure in the immigration state.
We also managed to secure an Islamic bond project totaling 40 yuan on 2009 and 2010.
So far, we have issued about 3 yuan at the most competitive interest rate in the capital market.
This is a key achievement because without competitive funding we will not be able to play the ultimate role as a major developer of National Water Resources.
As far as we are concerned, the water restructuring agreement we have recently reached with Penang is particularly important because it emphasizes the importance of federal state cooperation and shows that in ensuring the sustainability of water supply, the interests of the people are above all else.
Different operators charge different water charges.
Will most states have a flat rate one day?
TL Ong, Segamat, JohorUntil, the level of basic water infrastructure and service standards reaches the common level of all states in Malaysia (if not most states), and the consistency of rates cannot be valid
For a larger country, it is much more difficult to reach the required level of infrastructure in a short period of time due to the huge differences in geographical regions and topography, capital and operating costs and raw water quality from rivers or catchment areas.
Since independence, the states have developed water infrastructure, and the fiscal capacity or funding priorities of the states vary.
Solve the problem of imbalance (
Infrastructure)
Huge capital expenditures are needed and converted into higher costs, which must eventually be compensated by raising tariffs.
In order to ensure that consumers do not bear the burden of substantial tariff increases, PAAB is considering achieving a more balance in immigrant countries Johor, Malacca, Negri Sembilan, Peris and Penang
At the very least, it may take more than several decades to reach a level of similar infrastructure quality and capabilities in each state.
What are your interests in the water industry?
Norwahid, the mobility of the Petaling JayaThe water sector and the many challenges it presents are one of the main factors that interest me in the water industry.
The low water cost and the abundant water supply in our country make people take water for granted.
Per capita/Daily national consumption is about 220 liters (lcd)
Is the highest in the world (
156 LCD in Singapore, 187 LCD in Hong Kong).
Our relatively low tariffs and lazy attitude towards water conservation play a big role in this regard.
I keep learning about new exciting developments, especially in the field of water treatment.
It is true that this is a steep learning curve, but it is a full and challenging one.
