Air Selangor Joins Global Elite In Water Management
The recognition came during the Global Water Summit 2025, held over three days in Paris, which brought together global leaders, policymakers, and water industry experts to address pressing challenges and promote sustainable water management.
In a statement today, Air Selangor said the summit served as a platform for exchanging insights and fostering innovation in the sector.
The company's growing international presence was further bolstered by the shortlisting of its Digital Twin Project at the Semenyih 2 Water Treatment Plant (WTP) for the Water Project of the Year category at the 2025 Global Water Awards, hosted by Global Water Intelligence (GWI).
'These annual awards, presented during the Global Water Summit, celebrate excellence and innovation in the global water industry, with a focus on projects that enhance sustainability and operational efficiency,' the statement read.
It said the shortlisted Digital Twin Project has demonstrated the impactful use of advanced technology in water treatment operations. By integrating real-time monitoring, predictive analytics, and automated controls, the plant can operate with minimal human intervention from start to finish.
With an average daily output of 100 million litres and a targeted efficiency boost of up to 20 per cent, the project sets a new benchmark for reliability and performance in water treatment systems.
Air Selangor's project stands alongside globally recognised initiatives, including the Anabu Modular WTP in the Philippines, the O Casal WTP in Spain, and the Yiwu No. 3 WTP Expansion Project in China.
Commenting on the recognition, Air Selangor chief executive officer Adam Saffian Ghazali said it affirms the company's commitment to digital transformation in water services and inspires continued innovation across the industry.

Anwar's Bangladesh Visit Gave Hope In Post-Turmoil Period
WORLD KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 14 -- Chief Adviser to the Government of Bangladesh, Professor Dr Muhammad Yunus, said in a recent interview with Bernama that Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's official visit to Dhaka last year provided a much-needed morale boost to the nation as it was emerging from political turmoil. — fotoBERNAMA (2025) COPYRIGHT RESERVED By Noor Bakthtiar Ahmad and Voon Miaw Ping KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 14 (Bernama) -- Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's official visit to Dhaka last year provided a much-needed morale boost to the nation as it was just emerging from political turmoil, said Chief Adviser to the Government of Bangladesh Prof Dr Muhammad Yunus. He said Anwar's visit also brought hope to the country during one of its most challenging times. Yunus, who has been heading the interim government since Aug 8, 2024, recalled a period of uncertainty facing Bangladesh following the youth-led July mass uprising that ousted former prime minister Sheikh Hasina. He likened the situation to being struck by a 'magnitude 9 earthquake' where everything was 'destroyed, in a big mess, and nothing was functioning - only anger erupted'. 'We were given the responsibility of running the country in a very difficult situation. It was an extremely difficult job. "Not only to clean up (the mess), but you also have to rebuild everything. So we search for a way, space, and how to go about it. And while we are busy figuring out how to do that, we got the good news. The Prime Minister of Malaysia is visiting us," Yunus said. The Nobel Prize laureate reflected on Anwar's visit in an exclusive interview with Malaysian National News Agency (Bernama), led by its Editor-in-Chief Arul Rajoo Durar Raj together with Editor of International News Service, Voon Miaw Ping, and Assistant Editor of Economic News Service, Kisho Kumari Sucedaram, before concluding his official visit here this week. Anwar visited Bangladesh in October 2024 and became the first foreign leader to embark on a significant visit, two months after the Yunus-led administration was formed to put the country back in order. "He gave us hope. His visit was enormously exciting to the people. Malaysia is well known to the people in Bangladesh because so many Bangladeshis are here, and their families are here.

Malaysia Can Be 'Beneficiary Window' Linking ASEAN To South Asia Through Bangladesh
BUSINESS KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 14 -- Chief Adviser to the Government of Bangladesh, Professor Dr Muhammad Yunus, in a recent interview with Bernama, said Malaysia could serve as the 'beneficiary window' for enhancing economic connectivity between ASEAN and the populous South Asian region. By Kisho Kumari Sucedaram KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 14 (Bernama) — Malaysia can be the 'beneficiary window' in greater economic connectivity between ASEAN and the populous South Asia region, with Bangladesh's central position as a strategic trade, production and investment hub offering immense business opportunities. In spelling out Dhaka's importance to both Malaysia and ASEAN, the Chief Adviser to the Government of Bangladesh, Professor Dr Muhammad Yunus, said the populace in Bangladesh and surrounding areas alone is in excess of 170 million, offering a lucrative consumer market. It also offers the potential for regional production through the country's substantial human resources. Yunus pointed out that Bangladesh's location gives it a unique role in facilitating regional trade, particularly for landlocked neighbours such as Bhutan and Nepal, as well as India's northeastern 'Seven Sisters' states, which have no direct access to the ocean. The seven states are Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Meghalaya, Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland and Tripura. 'Many of the (economic) facilities could be located in Bangladesh because it is easier to get to the sea. For countries that have no direct access to the sea, we become the route to the world. This means Malaysia can connect its economy to an extended network of countries through Bangladesh,' he told Bernama in an exclusive interview at the end of his three-day official visit to Malaysia from Aug 11 to 13, at the invitation of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. The interview was led by Bernama Editor-in-Chief Arul Rajoo Durar Raj, together with Editor of International News Service Voon Miaw Ping and Assistant Editor of Bernama Economic Service Kisho Kumari Sucedaram. During the visit, Yunus met with Anwar, with both leaders reviewing the progress of Malaysia–Bangladesh ties, focusing on trade and investment, labour, education, tourism and defence, as well as regional and international developments of mutual interest. The Nobel Peace Prize laureate also met a few businesses and investors, including Proton Holdings, Sunway Group, Axiata Group Bhd and Khazanah Nasional Bhd. Yunus, who has headed the Bangladesh interim government since Aug 8, 2024, has cited foreign investments and global trade as crucial components in rebuilding its developing economy. Elaborating on his country's advantageous geographical position that enables access to Bhutan, Nepal and India, he said such cooperation could boost the economic growth of Malaysia and Bangladesh, with the latter helping to facilitate the transportation of goods and services. 'We welcome cooperation whereby Malaysia can be the beneficiary window, and this is absolutely what we are looking for,' he said.
