SUPRA International and Air Selangor Sdn. Bhd. Malaysia Explore Strategic Alignment for Capacity Building in Water Utilities
SUPRA International and Air Selangor Initiate Strategic Dialogue on Regional Water Sector Development
Kuala Lumpur, December 18th 2024 – SUPRA International recently held a preliminary dialogue with Adam Saffian Ghazali FCA, CEO of Air Selangor, to explore potential areas of collaboration aimed at strengthening institutional capacity within the Southeast Asian water sector. The meeting served as an initial step in what both parties hope will evolve into a broader engagement focused on operational excellence, knowledge exchange, and long-term sustainability.
The discussion was framed by a shared understanding that the region’s water utilities face increasing complexity, from aging infrastructure and resource constraints to rising climate pressures and expanding urban demand. In this context, leaders from both organizations emphasized the importance of building capability not only through technology and infrastructure, but through human capital and cross-border knowledge networks.
While no formal program has yet been launched, the early exchange highlighted several potential focal areas for future cooperation, including non-revenue water (NRW) management, utility optimization, and the development of technical talent across institutions. The emphasis was not on importing solutions, but on creating platforms for peer-to-peer learning grounded in practical experience.
Adam Saffian Ghazali noted the importance of investing in people alongside systems: sustainable services, he argued, rely on operational leadership and institutional learning as much as on physical assets. His perspective aligns with a growing regional shift toward performance-based approaches to utility management.
For SUPRA International, the dialogue reflects its continued commitment to supporting water utilities through engineering expertise, structured collaboration, and system-level thinking. As the company expands its footprint across Southeast Asia, it sees value not only in delivering projects, but in co-developing capabilities with trusted local partners.
This meeting with Air Selangor represents a promising starting point. Both parties recognize that impactful solutions will require sustained engagement, shared frameworks, and mutual trust. SUPRA welcomes further dialogue with regional stakeholders, including water utilities in Indonesia, who share an interest in building more resilient, efficient, and future-ready systems.
