The Ministry of Energy Transition and Water Transformation (PETRA) took part in the Singapore International Water Week (SIWW) 2024 to explore new collaborative opportunities in the water management sector. The event was held at the Marina Bay Sands Expo & Convention Centre from June 18 to 19.
SIWW, a biennial event, marked its 10th edition this year, serving as a platform for government stakeholders, industry players, academics, and the public to share experiences and best practices in water management. This year’s SIWW was held alongside the CleanEnviro Summit Singapore (CESG) 2024.
PETRA’s delegation, led by Deputy Minister Tuan Akmal Nasrullah Mohd Nasir, participated in the Joint Opening Ministerial Plenary session on June 19. He was a panel member in the forum session, discussing regional approaches to the climate change crisis, specifically in water management and sustainable development policies post-COP28.
During his visit, the Deputy Minister observed Singapore’s successes in wastewater management and reuse at the Water Reclamation Plant (WRP) and NEWater Plant in Changi.
Additionally, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed between Indah Water Konsortium Sdn. Bhd. (IWK) and the Administrative Staff College of India (ASCI), witnessed by the Deputy Minister. This agreement focuses on sharing experiences in IWK’s business recovery, technological innovations in wastewater management, and mutual capacity building.
