3R waste technology to rehabilitate Sandakan landfill
Davina SANDAKAN (July 22): Sandakan is set to make a leap forward in sustainable waste management with the launch of Sabah's first landfill rehabilitation project using globally patented 3R technology. IGNIS SG (Sabah) Sdn Bhd has officially signed a 12-year concession agreement, with an option to extend for another eight years, with the Sandakan Municipal Council (MPS). The agreement allows the company to rehabilitate the long-overdue Sungai Sibuga solid waste landfill, often referred to as a dead landfill. IGNIS SG Executive Director Dr Davina Marcus said the initiative addresses the mounting waste management challenges faced by Sandakan. 'This is something I've planned for a long time. I've seen with my own eyes how landfill sites are growing into mountains of unmanaged waste. The space keeps expanding, and I believe it's time for a new solution, one that tackles the problem and contributes to environmental sustainability without adding to the waste pile,' she said. Speaking during the launch of the Sungai Sibuga Landfill Rehabilitation Project on Tuesday, Davina said IGNIS SG has been given exclusive rights to develop and implement the rehabilitation works using IGNIS 3R technology, patented globally by its parent company, Ignis Environment Initiatives Sdn Bhd. 'This project will not only resolve long-standing waste disposal issues but also drive Sandakan towards green transformation,' she said. According to Davina, the IGNIS 3R system offers a comprehensive, non-incineration and non-toxic treatment process, supporting Malaysia's Net-Zero Emission 2050 target and Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) principles. 'The technology enables processing of buried waste without prior segregation, using a closed-loop zero waste-to-landfill approach. It also allows for land recovery for future use, and the extraction of reusable materials from old waste.' She further explained that the project is fully funded under a Private Financing Initiative (PFI) by IGNIS SG (Sabah) Sdn Bhd, with support from EXIM Bank Malaysia, without financial backing from the state government or local authorities. 'This shows the financial sector's confidence in the project's viability and the effectiveness of IGNIS 3R technology on a commercial scale,' she added. Currently, the project is in its initial implementation phase, with site works and mobilisation of IGNIS 3R machinery underway. The Sandakan 3R Waste Rehabilitation Project is expected to be physically completed by July 2026. 'My hopes for this landfill project are very high. I want this to inspire others to commit to protecting the environment and freeing up landfill capacity that's becoming increasingly saturated with waste. 'I also hope this project will help reduce public health risks linked to environmental pollution, add value through land reuse, and contribute towards improving Sandakan's image as a city,' Davina said.

A-G finds weak oversight in RM460mil worth of govt deals
Auditor-general Wan Suraya Wan Mohd Radzi named Felcra Bhd, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, and the army as being involved in questionable spending and weak oversight between 2020 and 2024. PETALING JAYA : A new government audit has found serious problems in how over RM460 million of public money was spent on land deals, university tenders, and defence contracts. The 2025 Auditor-General's Report Series 2, which was tabled in the Dewan Rakyat today, named Felcra Bhd, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), and the army as being involved in questionable spending and weak oversight between 2020 and 2024. In a statement, auditor-general Wan Suraya Wan Mohd Radzi said Felcra was flagged for leasing four oil palm estates worth RM241.76 million without proper board approval or expert review, which she said showed poor governance in how the land deals were handled. Wan Suraya said three UKM tenders worth RM58.45 million were given to companies that were not supported by evaluation committees. The audit also highlighted the army's failure to collect RM162.75 million in late fees for the delayed delivery of armoured vehicles and to impose RM1.42 million in penalties for delayed maintenance. The report also identified weaknesses in the implementation, monitoring, and enforcement of the subsidised cooking oil programme under the domestic trade and cost of living ministry, particularly in failing to properly target beneficiaries and the inefficient quota system. Wan Suraya also noted that the selected pre-qualification procurement method introduced by the finance ministry was found to have potential for manipulation, where ineligible companies were still shortlisted for final selection. 'The audit recommends that the selected pre-qualification procurement method should not be continued. Open tender procurement would be more appropriate to ensure accountability and transparency in the procurement process,' she said. A total of five audits involving seven ministries were conducted, covering programmes, activities, and projects worth RM48.873 billion. A total of 22 audit recommendations were submitted to the ministries, departments, and companies involved. Wan Suraya also said that follow-up audits by the national audit department from 2024 to June 2025 helped the government recover RM157.73 million, including through penalty collections, taxes, and fines.

Auditor-General flags shady deals in Felcra, UKM, and Army armoured vehicle procurements
KUALA LUMPUR, July 21 — Serious irregularities identified in three audits were detailed in the 2025 Auditor-General's Report (LKAN) Series 2, which was tabled in the Dewan Rakyat today. Auditor-General Datuk Seri Wan Suraya Wan Mohd Radzi said there were governance weaknesses in the implementation of leasing procurements for four oil palm plantations by FELCRA Berhad, involving acquisitions worth RM241.76 million from 2022 to 2024. She said there were serious irregularities and weaknesses in the tender procurement process and procurement governance at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), involving three tenders worth RM58.45 million. '(There were) weaknesses in contract administration and procurement management for the army's armoured vehicles between 2020 and 2023, including RM162.75 million in penalties that have yet to be collected and RM1.42 million in penalties not imposed on the company for delays in maintenance services,' she said in a statement. In addition, she said the procurement of maintenance services, repairs, and supply of spare parts for armoured vehicles amounting to RM107.54 million was found to have been carried out through contract splitting. The audit also found weaknesses in the implementation, monitoring, and enforcement of the subsidised cooking oil programme by the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN), particularly the absence of targeted allocation for eligible and needy groups. Wan Suraya said KPDN's efforts to reduce the subsidised cooking oil supply quota since 2016 should be continued, as this measure could have a positive impact on curbing leakages through more targeted distribution, in line with audit recommendations. She added that the Selective Pre-Q Procurement Method introduced by the Ministry of Finance allowed room for manipulation and lacked transparency, as some companies that either failed to meet the evaluation criteria at the first stage or were not invited were still selected and evaluated at the second stage. 'The audit recommends that the method should not be continued and that the open tender method is more appropriate to ensure accountability and transparency in the procurement process,' she said. A total of five audits involving seven ministries were reported, covering audited programmes, activities and projects worth RM48.873 billion. The Auditor-General submitted 22 audit recommendations to the ministries, departments and government-owned companies. Wan Suraya also stated that audits by the National Audit Department from 2024 to June 2025 had helped the government recover RM157.73 million, including through the penalty claims, outstanding rent and collection of duties and taxes.
