Case for change

Our proposal

• Multiple agencies governing waste – there is no existing platform for overall waste

governance

• Multiple agencies & mandates – many ministries involved and unclear coordination

• Grey areas exist in definition of some wastes and governing bodies

• There are no clear guidelines on who has authority to divert wastes for capitalization of

opportunities whilst meeting waste diversion target

• Option 1: Set up a new Cabinet Committee

• Option 3: Add a permanent agenda (Waste

Management into KSN’s weekly meeting

with KSU’s

Key success factors

Commitment from all ministries

to resolve cross-ministry waste

issues

Open-mindedness of

stakeholders to accept and

adopt changes for the

betterment of the country’s

waste management

Cost / Funding

Totalfunding

N/A

• Option 2: Leverage on existing Majlis

Teknologi Hijau dan Perubahan Iklim

(MTHPI) Committee

Outcome

Establishment of a waste

management platform that meets

regularly to coordinate matters on

sustainable and holistic waste

management

• Option 4 (Long term): Park total waste

management under one Ministry

• Option 5: State Level Solid Waste &

Public Cleansing Governance

KPKT/JPSPN

(RMK11)

Pro’s:

• Perceived high level of commitment and more

frequent meetings

• All ministers onboard, mandate to reconcile

becomes easier

• Planning and budget all under KPKT

Concerns:

• Getting all ministers’ time for meeting– may not be as

frequent to address all issues immediately

• There is already an existing ministerial level committee –

Majlis Teknologi Hijau dan Perubahan Iklim (MTHPI)

• How to consolidate all budget under one ministry -

Distribution of budget amongst multiple ministries may be

tricky

• Multiple areas – secretariatship is questionable

OVERALL WASTE GOVERNANCE – OPTION 2

Option 2: Leverage on MTHPI as a mediating platform – add one

more working committee for waste (become MTHPIS)

Note*: Endorsed by MTHPI on 25 February 2015. Currently allocated budget under RMK11 by KeTTHA. In the midst of forming the Technical Committee, target first meeting in Q3’15.

Pro’s:

• Existing committee, just add one category (Sisa)

• Leverage on existing work already

commissioned by KeTTHA, KPKT, MPIC and

MIGHT

• Involvement of multiple ministries (14), a good

platform for open communication

• Technical Committee already up and running with

proposed programs

Concerns:

• Frequency of decision-making meeting – only

once a year

• Execution and implementation of post-

decisions (cross-ministry) may be difficult

• Budget for implementation (especially cross-

ministry) may be tricky

• Biodiversity and marine management

• Land

• Climate change

• Disaster risk reduction, preparedness and response
