Malaysia aims to introduce alternative private financing to ensure the financial sustainability of water sector programmes, reducing dependency on government expenditure and strengthening water security. Deputy prime minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof said the private sector’s involvement is crucial to meet the substantial investments required by the water sector transformation plan. The transformation plan’s strategic objectives include increasing clean water and sewerage coverage in rural areas by 98 per cent and reducing non-revenue water to 31 per cent by 2025.
