PRIVATISATION - OR - PIRATISATION?
Introduction
Rubbish is like an endemic disease with uncollected waste choking our rivers, and littering our highways and byways. The vast proportion of the waste that does get collected ends up on a dumpsite where it contaminates the environment and causes public health concerns. For, in spite of the billions of Ringgit of public money that have been spent on the collection and disposal of our Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) over the years, there are still only 8 sanitary landfills servicing the whole nation.
As 2020 approaches it is obvious that in terms of public cleansing and waste management, we are still in the dark ages when compared to developed countries.
Back in 1999 the European Union issued the European Landfill Directive for its member states with the overall aim of preventing the negative effects of landfills on the environment.
In these developed countries it is well understood that landfills result in pollution of surface water, groundwater, soil and air, and have a negative effect on the global environment in terms of contributing to the greenhouse effect, as well as presenting risks to public health. There is also the recognition that even sanitary landfills can become compromised after a period of time and offer no guarantee when it comes to keeping the toxic residues produced by MSW from entering the ecosystem.
This legislation forced the member nations to reassess how waste is handled and disposed of and by eliminating landfills the European countries have shifted the paradigm of how waste is regarded.
And herein lies the crux of the issue in Malaysia: Historically waste has always been regarded as an expensive problem, a natural bi-product of our consumer society. This is however an erroneous perception, for in reality waste is a renewable national asset, a storehouse of resources that can be reused, recycled and recovered to the benefit of the environment and society in general.
Yet, in spite of lip-service to the notion of reclaiming, reusing and recycling, the government’s master plan for waste disposal is still totally dependent on landfills, and despite the huge amounts of public funds that have been diverted into waste management, we haven’t made any progress in solving our waste problem.
In contrast, the European model of recovering as much of the waste as possible has spawned a multi-million dollar industry.
The new Act
The 2007 Solid Waste and Public Cleansing Management Act was finally enacted in September 2011. It transfers responsibility for solid waste management and public cleansing from the Local Authorities to the Federal Government. As a result, new federal institutions including the Department of National Solid Waste Management and the Solid Waste Management and Public Cleansing Corporation were established.
This Act claims to bring solid waste management (SWM) in line with global state-of-the-art practices at no additional cost to the public. It includes regulation and enforcement tools as well as imposing higher responsibilities on the stakeholders. The Act also enabled the privatization of SWM.
This privatization was bulldozed through parliament in much the same way as the recent Peaceful Assembly Bill and the development of Kg. Baru were hastily passed through the house with little debate, despite a lack of support from the majority of the people who will be affected by it.
When we take a close look at the Malaysian government’s strategy for implementing the act we find that the master plan is almost totally committed to building sanitary landfills to cope with the situation. Of course sanitary landfills are better than dumpsites, but it is clear that the same old mindset is still at play; the one that regards waste as a costly problem and not as a constant supply of untapped and renewable resources.
This shows at best how misguided the Malaysian government is in trying to provide a world-class service. At worst it illustrates that the solid waste management strategy has been developed with the interest of the industrial players in mind rather than what is best for the environment and society in general.
Lack of transparency and accountability
There is strong evidence of mismanagement and a lack of transparency in our national waste management strategy. Take, for example, the Bukit Tagar sanitary landfill in the north of Selangor, which is managed by KUB-Berjaya Enviro Sdn. Bhd. This 1,700-acre site was reportedly chosen because of its isolation from important groundwater aquifers thus eliminating the risk of water pollution. However sceptics claim that the choice of location was determined by the then minister of housing’s desire to help out a friend who had already acquired the land thinking that the new airport was going to be located nearby. Since KLIA was subsequently built in Sepang, the minister’s friend was left holding a pretty worthless piece of real estate. Then, or so the story goes, the government announced the closures of the Taman Beringen and Air Hitam dumps, in Kepong and Puchong, and acquired the land from the minister’s friend to build the Bukit Tagar sanitary landfill. In addition to the cost of the land, the government reportedly handed out RM400 million to build the landfill.
On top of that, there’s the cost to DBKL for using Bukit Tagar to consider. At present the tipping fee at Bukit Tagar is RM28.80 per ton. By this time next year it will have risen by a staggering 58.7 percent to RM49 per ton. Then there’s the cost of transporting all that waste 50 kms north, and we mustn’t forget the cost of collecting the waste; the cost of transporting it to the Taman Beringen transfer station and the compacting fee.
According to KUB-Berjaya Enviro’s statistics, the Bukit Tagar landfill receives about 3,000 tons of waste per day. However, if this amount of waste was sent to a Waste to Energy plant and processed to extract its latent energy, it could supply up to 25MW of energy - enough to power around 50,000 modern 3 bedroom homes using 2 air conditioners, a fridge and a television. Because Waste to Energy management strategy is sustainable it’s bankable and can be funded by private venture capital. In addition, the different revenue streams that are created, which make it sustainable, ensure that tipping fees can be kept at an affordable level.
Immediately after the Solid Waste and Public Cleansing Management bill was accepted by the cabinet, the Housing and Local Government Minister, Datuk Chor Chee Heung government announced the award of contracts to three companies: Alam Flora, Southern Waste Management and E-Idaman. Besides payment from the local authorities, Chor said the companies had not been doing a good job because of a lack of funds and so they were also awarded between RM500mil and RM600mil a year from the Federal Government.This decision was made public just one day after the legislation came into force and, to the best of my knowledge, without any open tender exercise having taken place.
The Act also raises issues of accountability, for under it, the minister’s decision is final and cannot be challenged in court. Furthermore, the legislation places all decision making in the hands of the Director General of the Waste Department, with no checks and balances to ensure that abuse of power does not occur.
The ‘red tape’ associated with the Act creates a barrier to local innovators and new players trying to enter the industry. For example, the National Waste Committee, headed by the deputy prime minister, is supposed to meet quarterly to look out for new ideas, and technology that would enhance and innovate the waste industry. All potential players wanting to enter the industry or suggestions on new technology must go before the committee for consideration. However, I am reliably informed, that the National Waste Committee hasn’t met for the past year. Therefore, nothing gets done. This is a classic ‘Catch 22’ situation, and hardly an incentive to develop local technologies.
On the other hand, One German company who has been given approval to build biological composting plants are using a technology that, as far as I know, has not been proven with our waste profile. I’m not implying by any means that they are not doing a good job, but I’m sure there are Malaysian companies that could do an equally good if they had been given the opportunity.
In effect Malaysia’s solid waste management system operates like a cartel, with only a few, select industry players getting contracts. Private companies and individuals offering green technology solutions are constantly being sidelined.
Financial mismanagement
The privatisation of solid waste management comes with an additional cost of about RM250 million just to cover administrative costs. Waste disposal is already an expensive business with billions of Ringgit of the public’s money being spent to: develop new landfills, operate and maintain existing landfills, and to close old ones, therefore these new administrative charges will place an additional financial burden on the public.
With all the decision-making and purchasing power residing with the Director General, How can we be sure that the people are getting the best deal? The short answer is we cannot! And in the light of the government’s gross overspending highlighted in the recent Auditor General’s report, the public can be forgiven for being suspicious that financial manipulation is in play.
Bin buying is one area where financial mismanagement seems to have taken place. Following privatisation, the government ordered 70,000 waste bins to be dispersed to householders and the price of each bin was tagged at around RM260. This would mean additional public expenditure of RM18.2 million. However, when bought in bulk, these bins can be procured for as little as RM88 each, even my local hardware store sells them for RM150 - a lot less than the government is paying.
Wasting money in the waste industry is not a new phenomenon. Over the years, successive governments have bought expensive technology that has proven not to work with local waste parameters. Our spending on incinerators is a case in point. Let’s take the fiasco of the Labuan incinerator as an example of what I mean.
In the 1990s, George Kent (Malaysia) Berhad, were given a multi-million Ringgit contract to build waste incinerators for the islands of Pangkor, Langkawi, Tioman and Labuan. The Labuan incinerator alone cost RM40 million and was written-off without running for even one day. In fact, all of the incinerators were scrapped due to faulty design, high maintenance costs and operating expenditure. In plain language this means that the technology was unsuitable for Malaysian waste.
The incinerators that were chosen were designed to run without the need for auxiliary fuel but this wasn’t viable because of the high moisture content of the waste (60-70%). This bumped-up the operating expenditure enormously as an auxiliary fuel such as gas or diesel would be needed to actually burn the waste instead of the waste itself being the only fuel required. This is a classic case of not doing enough research before buying technology.
However, instead of learning from this costly mistake, the government went ahead and commissioned 5 new incinerators designed by XCN Technology, for Langkawi (100 tons a day), Labuan (50 tons), Cameron Highlands (40 tons), Pangkor (20 tons) and Tioman (10 tons). The costs range from RM20.3mil to RM68.4mil. Only the Langkawi plant will be a waste-to-energy facility, capable of generating 1MW of electricity.
Despite reassurances from Datuk Dr. Nadzri Yahaya, who is Director General of the Department of National Solid Waste Management, that these new incinerators have been custom designed to cope with the high moisture content and to run with much lower operating expenditure, it is unlikely that the tipping fee alone will be sufficient to operate these new incinerators. That means higher assessment charges or a yet another subsidy, which ultimately will come from the householder and taxpayer pocket.
By 2020 we will be spending at least RM20 billion of the public’s money on this industry with little or no accountability.
Obsession with landfills
The decision to continue with landfills as the main avenue of waste disposal also makes a mockery out of the river cleaning programme as even sanitary landfills cannot guarantee that leachate will not eventually enter the water table. This was highlighted during Hari Raya 2010 when leachate from the Sg. Kembong dumpsite entered the river and caused the closure of the Semenyih water treatment plant leaving 300,000 households (1.2 million people) without water during the festive season.
Landfill advocates are always quick to explain the virtues of sanitary landfills. It is true that some companies are now collecting landfill methane and are generating electricity. However what they do not mention is that locally developed Resource Recovery/Waste to Energy technology generates 5 times the amount of electricity and comes with the added bonus of keeping the land clear of waste, as the waste itself is processed and the energy inside it recovered for public use.
Other landfill companies are covering old landfills with expensive solar panels in order to generate electricity for the nation. However, if these old landfills were mined instead, the energy recovered from the waste would supply the national grid with renewable energy and restore the land to be used for other, more positive, purposes.
Just to give you some idea of the hidden cost of closing old landfills: the government has already given Cypark Resources Berhad more than RM400 million to close 17 landfills. Closure entails covering these old sites with soil.
Time to come clean
It is now time to question the motives that drive decision-making in the waste management industry and not just in terms of federal accountability.
Even though the Penang State government didn’t sign the privatisation agreement they still need money from the Federal Government in order to implement their waste management programme. In Penang’s case they have decided to buy an untried solution using overseas technology. In order to pay for this scheme the state government needed Northern Corridor money and in so doing needed to get approval from the EPU and Pemandu. On further investigation it would appear that their mechanism of decision making also involved issuing contracts to friends and close associates in much the same way that the non opposition states have been operating all this time.
It’s time the government and the local authorities started explaining themselves and answering some very pertinent questions:
Why doesn’t the government have a KPI to reduce landfills when we know that landfills are not the best solution and our continued use of them will act as a barrier to achieving fully developed status?
Why has the MACC not investigated, what appear to be many examples of gross mismanagement and overspending within the industry?
Why have the decision-makers decided to ignore international trends and refuse to seriously consider Waste to Energy options, which are cheaper to build and operate and are fully sustainable?
Why does the National Solid Waste Department continue to undermine local industry rather than supporting it by approving the appointment of foreign consultants who bring in their own technologies at the expense of local companies using homegrown technology?
Why are contracts still awarded without passing through a transparent tender process?
Why hasn’t the government implemented Agenda 21, which calls on governments to adopt national strategies for sustainable development? It specifically states that these strategies should be developed as a result of working partnerships with international organizations, business, regional, state, provincial and local governments, non-governmental organisations and citizens’ groups.
Lastly, Why is waste management still under the Ministry of Housing and Local Government when it would appear to be more appropriate to move it to the Ministry of Energy, Green Technology and Water?

Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "ANGRY BIRD!":
The Angry Bird has spoken. Many Malaysians from all races have been saying this ever year. But when the New year comes our leaders give a speech to welcome the new year without any reference to the previous year. All those complaints and suggestions for the promotion of a better Malaysia is thrown out of the window just like that.
What we need if for some one or a group of people to produce a massive impact to turn public opinion against the present trends which is based overwhelmingly on the raced based politics that we have had for over 50 years. We need to migrate form that kind of thinking to one that will adhere to the Primary Principle of the Five year Development Plans- Eradication of Poverty Irrespective of Race.
My international experience confirms that there could be no normal political and economic development in an abnormal society. And based on what we see all around us we are one because we do things that defies the natural laws of logic.The struggle for a nonracial or race neutral Malaysia must become an integral party of our broader struggle to create a Malaysia that will become a prosperous and a respected nation in the wold.
We must be prepared to accept this change no matter how painful it may be to those who today disproportionately enjoy the fruits of the working class of this country. This is no empty call for the strengthening of society as a whole. If we do not start now we will become like other Third World countries where no Police Force, Rela or PVR, individually or combined can prevent the poor from stealing form the rich.

I think it is rather hard for Pakatan to pre-empt what UMNO is trying to do as they still control all the machineries of government. Sometimes it better to wait for UMNO to make its move first because inevitably it will shoot itself in both feet.
Come what may, the Jan 9 verdict shall be the next rallying point for Malaysians. Bring it on BN 'cos it will ricochet and cause more damage to UMNO, regardless of DSAI is imprison or not.

（这篇文章是一个叫做 “月” 的网友发送进来我的
E-mail，希望我帮他发表，而且说真的写得不错^^，赞文）
===============
大马华人必看！马华，我就是要投回教党，吹咩？
我，身为马来西亚华人，我的选区没有火箭和蓝眼，只有巫统和回教党对垒，我现在正式宣布，下届大选，我会投回教党神圣的一票！
看到马华那班无能的领袖在代表大会义正言辞全面反击什么回教党的刑事法，说什么捍卫马来西亚多元文化，我很想说一句，马华，你去死吧！
他妈的，我身为大马华人，现在就要跟马华说，我下届大选，肯定会投回教党！屌你都傻！
不要跟我说要什么会成立回教国，会砍手砍脚，他妈的，在你和巫统治理下的马来西亚，都可以推赵明福下楼啦，警察都可以随便开枪杀人啦，扣留所都打死不少人啦！我们还没有被回教党砍手砍脚之前，都可能随时被执法单位整死了！
他妈的，马华这种烂党，天天在报纸抹黑回教党，你知不知道，回教党甚至在吉兰丹州拨地给独中，以地养校；在霹雳州，回教党做州务大臣时也一样，niama，马华你做了政府这么多年，连制度化拨款给华小都做不到，你现在叫我们不要投回教党，痴线！
他妈的，一个堂堂大党，在党代表大会，竟然可以费尽全力去谴责回教理念，却默许巫统的马来种族主义横行，你说这是什么烂党？真是无可救药的腐败政党。
当巫统常常攻击华人是寄居者，还叫我们回唐山，是回教党站出来捍卫我们！
当巫统禁止非穆斯林用阿拉字眼时，是回教党站出来捍卫非回教徒的权利！
当巫统禁止非穆斯林进入回教堂时，是回教党站出来反对巫统！
当亲巫统的Perkasa常常攻击民联出卖马来人时，是回教党站出来反驳他们！
他妈的，你马华做过什么？只会讲巫统不应该这样，不应该那样，如果你厉害的话，我们华人现在还是二等公民咩？有骨气的，你退出国阵啦！笨！
讲到真是火滚，你马华吃钱吃那么多年，一个巴生自贸区就吞了125亿，开个facebook
180万，还有那种大大小小的kopi钱咧？？人民的钱是给你们独吞掉啊！回教党呢？你有听过回教党贪污吗？回教党就是出名清廉，执政吉兰丹20年，一宗贪污案件也没有，州务大臣还是住高脚屋，吃nasi
lemak啊！你们动不动就说赢了请吃龙虾，还要我们投你？
马华，你收皮啦！看到首相压力下宣布废除内安法令，就好象狗一样，立刻赞同，他妈的，你这么多年支持侵犯人权的法令时，态度可以一夜之间改变，你以为人民是傻的咩？这么多年，回教党都带领人民全面抗争，无论是反内安法令游行，还是Bersih
1或2 ，回教党都是站在反暴政的最前线，为人民挡催泪弹，顶水泡弹！
709的时候，巫统在谴责我们街头游行的时候，回教党志工在危难时刻，杀出一条血路，然后说“让华人先离开，我们保护他们。”他妈的，你们马华呢？当时躲在哪里？现在还要叫我们不要投回教党？你去死啦！
他妈的，做政府做那么多年，那个三级片总会长还在台上，促请政府这个。。。促请政府那个。。。你到底有没有当过自己是政府啊？？如果自己做不来，做不到，换人做啦！笨！
最够力的是，那个廖中莱，挑战行动党退出民联，他妈的，你们巫统议员当初在吉兰丹和丁加奴议会通过回教法时，高举双手赞成啊！行动党一票也没有投过啊！你不现在带领马华退出国阵？？
回教党要实行回教刑事法，那是他们党的最高理想，就好象民进党要台独一样啦，但是总会不成，因为政治现实不允许，何况回教党是跟民联两个党结盟，执政的时候是以民联的橙皮书执政，不是回教党或行动党自己党的最高理念。那当然会有华人问吉兰丹怎么办呢？
我很想问回他们，即使吉兰丹实行又怎样？你不是回教徒，关你什么事？何况，你等民联拿到2/3多数议席来修宪才谈啦，现在连政府都还没有换啊！现在一大堆幽灵选民啊，民联甚至分分钟守不住1/3的议席啊！
又有很多华人问，民联拿到2/3时不是惨咯？我说他妈的，惨你的头，如果民联可以拿2/3，行动党在里面肯定有50席，行动党只要不投支持票，修宪就不成了咯。
然后又有更多的华人问，如果行动党缩春，支持修宪落实回教法呢？屌，如果你不喜欢，你不是换回国阵咯。难道下届选举，换了政府之后，我们改次就不会再有选举咩?选举就是给我们不认同那个政府的政策时，换一个政府改善它的嘛！
有些华人真是很愚昧，我是有那句讲那句，如果下届大选，我们因为害怕一个根本还没有出现过的回教法，而去支持一个存在已久的贪污腐败，侵犯人权的政府，那我只能说，我们华人犯贱！我们华人和人民的命运就是栽在自己的手上！
华人，你醒醒吧！不要再给马华蒙骗了！要改善我们华人在这片土地的命运，我们只有投火箭，投蓝眼，投月亮，团结一致换掉这个烂政府！如果你爱你的民族，你爱的人民，你爱你的国家，请把这个文章share给每一个你的朋友。下届大选，让我们一起高唱“月亮代表我的心”！

Here is an edited version of "Chinese
Malaysians must read! MCA, I want to vote for PAS!"
As a Chinese Malaysian, there is no
Rocket or Keadilan contesting in my constituency, only a direct clash
between UMNO and PAS. Now, I'm officially announcing it here - in the
next GE, I will vote for PAS!
Looking at the MCA leaders attacking
Islamic hudud laws during their annual general assembly on the pretext
that they are protecting Malaysian multi-culturalism, I wish to say,
MCA, go to hell!
As a Chinese in Malaysia, now I wish
to tell MCA, in the next general election, I will vote for PAS! I
don't want to entertain you anymore!
Don't tell me that by forming an
Islamic country, hands and feet will be chopped off. Malaysia under
your rule and Umno - even Teoh Beng Hock can fall from a building!
Cops can shoot as they please! Not to mention the ones that died in
custody! Before our hands and feet are chopped off by PAS, we might
die abused by you - the authorities!
MCA, a pathetic party, tarnishing PAS
in the papers everyday.
Do you know, PAS allocates land to
'support' Chinese secondary schools in Kelantan.
In Perak, the same thing happened when
a PAS leader was the Menteri Besar. @#@ MCA, you've been the
government for many years, but failed to institutionalize allocations
for Chinese schools, and now you're telling us not to vote for PAS,
crazy!
@#@, MCA you are a huge party but in
your general assembly, the time was used to attack Islamic idealism,
but at the same time you quietly bow to Umno's narrow racist mind,
what kind of a pathetic party is this? A pathetic party that cannot be
saved!
When Umno attacked, saying Chinese are
"immigrants", telling us to go back to Tongsan, it was PAS who came
forward to defend us!
When Umno prohibits non-Muslims from
using the word Allah, it was PAS who came forward to defend
non-Muslims' rights!
When Umno prohibits non-Muslims from
entering mosques and suraus, it was PAS who came forward to oppose
Umno!
When the pro-Umno Perkasa attacked
Pakatan Rakyat for betraying the Malays, it was PAS who came forward
to stop them!
@#@, what are you doing, MCA? Only
capable of saying Umno should not be like this, like that.
If you are really great, why is is
that the Chinese are still second class citizens?
If you really do have a backbone, the
get out of Barisan Nasional, stupid!
My anger is raging. For so long you've
taken money, one PKFZ project you took RM12.5 billion, one Facebook
you took RM1.8 million, and the other ones? You took the people's
money!
PAS? Have you heard of PAS taking bribes?
PAS is known for its honesty, 20 years
of ruling Kelantan, not one corruption case, the Menteri Besar is
still living in a 'kampung' house, eats nasi lemak! You guys simply
say if you win you'll eat lobster, and you still want us to vote for
you?"
MCA, get lost! When the Prime Minister
announced he will abolish ISA because of pressure from the people,
like a dog, you immediately agreed! @#@, for so long you've been
supporting that draconian act, and now you've changed in a blink of an
eye? You think the people are stupid?
For so long, PAS led the people to
fight, either in the anti-ISA rally, Bersih 1.0 or Bersih 2.0, PAS is
always in the front-line to fight against tyranny - facing tear gas,
and water canons!
On 9 July, Umno attacked us for
rallying on the streets.
At a critical moment, Unit Amal PAS
made way, and said "Let the Chinese out first, we protect them!" @#@,
where were you MCA?
Where did you hide at the time?
Now you're telling us not to vote for
PAS, to hell with you!
@#@, for so long you've been ruling
us, that porn video president is still on the stage urging the
government to do this and that.
Have you ever thought of yourselves as
the government?
If you yourselves can't do it, then
switch! Stupid!
The best thing is, Liow Tiong Lai,
challenged DAP to get out of Pakatan Rakyat.
When Islamic law was passed in
Kelantan and Terengganu, Umno state assemblymen supported by raising
both of their hands.
Not one vote was given by DAP.
Why don't you lead MCA to get out of
Barisan Nasional?
PAS wants to implement hudud Laws,
this is the party's ultimate goal. It is like the Progressive
Democratic Party in Taiwan who fought for independence, which surely
won't happen, because it is not allowed in the political reality.
Furthermore, PAS is cooperating with
the other two party components in Pakatan Rakyat, who will surely
govern based on the Orange Book - not just the ultimate goal of PAS or
DAP.
Maybe some will ask, what about Kelantan?
I would like to ask them, even if it
is implemented in Kelantan, what's the fuss?
If you're not a Muslim, what has it
got anything to do with you?
Furthermore, you should wait until PAS
wins two-thirds majority to amend the constitution.
For now, the government has yet to be
even changed.
Now with the amount of phantom voters,
it would difficult for Pakatan Rakyat to win one third of the seats!
Still a lot of Chinese are saying,
we'll die if the Pakatan Rakyat gets two-thirds majority.
I say @#@, my foot, if Pakatan Rakyat
wins two-third, DAP will surely have 50 seats.
If DAP would not vote for it, there
would be no amendments.
And then, more Chinese are asking,
what if DAP become cowards and support the implementation of hudud
laws?
If you don't like it, then switch back
to Barisan Nasional!
Is it that there can't be no more
elections after the change of government in the next GE?
Aren't elections about giving us the
opportunity to change the government if we don't agree with its
policies?
Some Chinese are just stupid, I'm
saying it openly here.
If in the next election, we support a
government that have been corrupt for so long, just because we are
afraid of hudud laws that are not even there, then the Chinese are a
real disgrace.
The fate of the Chinese community will
be destroyed by their own hands!
Wake up, and don't be fooled by MCA!
Only when we vote for Rocket, Keadilan
and Moon and unite to change this pathetic government can we fix the
conditions of the Chinese community in the country.
If you love your race, if you love
your people, if you love your country, share this writing with all
your friends.
In the next election, we sing together
the song "Moon is the shape of my heart" (a famous Chinese song)!
