KUALA LUMPUR: The government has identified 18 possible sites for proposed waste-to-energy plants that will serve the needs of every state in Peninsula Malaysia, says Nga Kor Ming .
“The ministry will continue to find the best model so its implementation is the best for the country.Nga added that the ministry will continue to raise public awareness on the viability of using WTE plants as opposed to building more landfills to dispose of solid waste. “This new technology does not require a large area of land and does not produce leachate, foul smell or methane gas that has a negative impact on public health and the environment.Replying to a question from Kuantan MP Wan Razali Wan Nor, Nga said the government is conducting comprehensive reviews on countries that have used WTE technology.
