Air Selangor App now lets users report leaks in real time
KUALA LUMPUR: A total of 9.62 million water consumers in Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, and Putrajaya can now report pipe leakages through the upgraded Air Selangor 2.0 app, effective today, said Pengurusan Air Selangor Sdn Bhd (Air Selangor) chief executive officer Adam Saffian Ghazali. He said the improved mobile application now features a 'Report Leaks' function, allowing users to report leaking or burst pipes, faulty meters, and illegal connections in real time. 'This initiative aims to reduce the Non-Revenue Water (NRW) rate and ensure more efficient water management,' he said in a statement today. He said the Air Selangor 2.0 app was revealed during the MADANI Smart Water Campaign launched by Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof earlier today. Adam Saffian added that the app also includes a water usage monitoring feature through the Litres per Capita per Day (LCD) indicator, allowing consumers to assess and manage their daily water consumption. 'They can compare their consumption against the benchmark recommended by the National Water Services Commission (SPAN), which is 160 litres per day, and receive water-saving tips tailored to their household profile,' he said. According to Adam Saffian, Air Selangor has implemented multiple digital initiatives as part of its sustainability commitment to promoting smart water usage among consumers. On the MADANI Smart Water Campaign conducted by SPAN and the Ministry of Energy Transition and Water Transformation, he said it is a national initiative to nurture prudent water usage among the public to ensure water supply sustainability. He said the campaign aligns with the memorandum of collaboration signed between Air Selangor and Monsta Studios Sdn Bhd in April to bolster efforts to raise water-saving awareness among the younger generation. The three-year collaboration aims to implement more creative programmes and activities involving the younger generation to raise awareness about water conservation from an early age, he added.

Empowering schoolkids to save water brings rewards
HEADMASTER Md Zainudin Ngadiman and teacher Rashide Roziman of SK Polis Depot Kuala Lumpur decided to teach their pupils about water conservation by making them peer educators. Zainudin and Rashide encouraged the pupils to act out water-saving methods in one-minute videos for social media to promote awareness of the importance of water conservation. Zainudin then submitted the content to the 'Save Water Mission together with BoBoiBoy' competition last year. BoBoiBoy is a Malaysian animated television series created by Monsta Studios that sees the main character involved in water conservation. Thanks to the pupils' efforts and creativity, SK Polis Depot Kuala Lumpur won the competition by Air Selangor Sdn Bhd, earning the school RM15,000 worth of beautification work. Three consolation winners – Azan Integrated Islamic School in Sepang, SK Seri Fajar in Kuala Kubu Bharu and SK Taman Tasik in Ampang – each won RM5,000 for school beautification, with prizes handed out by Air Selangor chief executive officer Adam Saffian Ghazali at the ceremony in Subang Jaya. SK Polis Depot Kuala Lumpur pupils Nur Hawa Syaurah Hasrin Faisal and Afiq Irfan Mohd Khairy, both 12, said with the hotter weather, water was a valuable resource that could not be wasted. Afiq Irfan said the knowledge he had gained was being shared beyond the classroom, as he was informing his neighbours about the issue as well. Adam Saffian said last year's competition was open to primary schools but this year, the competition in conjunction with World Environment Day in June, will be open to both primary and secondary schools. At the event, Air Selangor signed a memorandum of collaboration with Monsta Studios to strengthen joint efforts in promoting water-conservation awareness. Adam Saffian said the memorandum outlined a three-year collaboration, starting from this year until 2027. 'We aim to implement various programmes and produce a series of cartoons over the next three years to instil sustainability values,' he said. Monsta Studios managing director Kee Yong Pin said Monsta remained committed to raising awareness and educating on water conservation.
