PUTRAJAYA: Putrajaya has urged critics of waste-to-energy plants to be more receptive to the idea, even as the government moves to clean up the accumulated rubbish in the country.
“For the country to progress, with all the outstanding rubbish we have, I have to clean up that way,” she said in an interview held in conjunction with Pakatan Harapan’s one year in power recently. Earlier this month, the Kuala Lumpur Taknak Insinerator movement questioned how Zuraida drew the conclusion that WTE initiatives offered cleaner, more efficient and more economical alternatives to landfills, without listening to public concerns.
“We just need to transform that. It is easier. We do not have to go through the DoE process. This is because, since it is already approved as a landfill, it can be approved for WTE,” she said. The PKR vice-president said while she has spoken on enhancing and increasing activities for recycling, the approach taken by the KTI was “a bit too slow”.
