SAM says the likelihood or perception of the potential for a conflict of interest remains despite Abdul Kadir Din’s resignations from private water and waste management-related firms.
PETALING JAYA: An environmental group is insisting that Abdul Kadir Din’s appointment as chairman of the National Water Services Commission be revoked despite him resigning from his posts at private water and waste management-related firms. Sahabat Alam Malaysia said Kadir’s resignation from these posts “does not provide sufficient comfort and assurance”.
She said the chairman of any commission must be independent and, in this case, remain unconnected to the water supply or sewerage services industry. Yesterday, the energy transition and water transformation ministry confirmed that Kadir had resigned from his posts at private water and waste management-related firms, amid concerns over a possible conflict of interest.The ministry said Kadir had also stepped down “several years ago” as adviser to Ranhill Holdings Bhd, which provides water supply services and operates water and wastewater treatment plants, among others.
