Water,Datuk Dr Amarjit Singh

In a world where environmental sustainability is increasingly paramount, initiatives that empower youth to become stewards of the planet are more valuable than ever.

KOTA KINABALU: Drastic action with the proper allocation of roles and responsibilities in water governance is needed to solve Sabah’s continued water woes, says former Water Department director Datuk Dr Amarjit Singh .

“Encourage policy coherence through effective cross-sectoral coordination, especially between policies for water and the environment, health, energy, agriculture, industry, spatial planning and land use,” he said in a statement. Efficiency relates to the contribution of governance in maximising the benefits of sustainable water management and welfare at the least cost to society, he added.

“It is about mainstreaming integrity and transparency, managing trade-offs across water users, rural and urban areas, and generations, and promoting regular monitoring and evaluation to make adjustments when needed,” he added. “Besides that, we also suspect some acts of sabotage after we recently discovered some of our valves had been tampered with,” he told reporters on Friday.
