Deputy Prime Minister who is also the Minister of Energy Transition and Water Transformation, Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof emphasised that this achievement marks a significant milestone for both the company and the nation as a whole.
It is inspiring to witness Malaysia step onto the global stage, standing shoulder to shoulder with leaders from the utilities industry worldwide. This recognition IWK has achieved certainly fuels our longstanding commitment to a greater green and sustainability mission, aligning with Malaysia’s MADANI aspirations.
