A high-level delegation from Sarawak, Malaysia, led by Deputy Minister of Finance Datuk Seri Wan Lizolman Wan Omar, recently visited the Tuas Nexus facility in Singapore—the world’s first integrated wastewater and solid waste treatment project. Accompanied by representatives from China Harbour (Singapore) and UES Holdings, the delegation explored the facility’s innovative approach to simultaneous water and waste management.
The project exemplifies energy synergy, resource recovery, and space optimization through advanced technologies such as waste heat recovery, biogas utilization, and sludge recycling. These features significantly enhance efficiency while reducing carbon emissions, positioning the facility as a global benchmark for sustainable urban infrastructure.
Both parties expressed strong interest in expanding collaboration, with Sarawak officials highlighting the project’s relevance to future resource circulation and environmental governance initiatives in Malaysia. UES CEO Zhou Tong emphasized the facility’s role as a scalable model for low-carbon, zero-waste cities and pledged to promote international partnerships for smarter, greener urban solutions.
This visit reinforced bilateral trust and laid a foundation for potential cooperation in eco-friendly technology and sustainable city development between Singapore and Malaysia.
