Hanoi (VNA) – Brunei plans to build a wasteincineration plant that can process 800 to 1,000 tonnes of waste per day togenerate electricity, according to Minister of Development Dato Haji MohdJuanda.

Speaking at the 19th meeting of the Legislative Council on the ministry's annual budget on March 19, the minister said thatthe waste incineration plant will help achieve more resilient and efficient solidwaste management and much smaller area for landfills.

He stressed problems such as odour and leachate thatare usually associated with landfills can be avoided.

With the incorporation of the latest solid wastemanagement technologies, pollution problems such as gas emissions fromincinerators can be dealt with as best as possible. This approach also ensuresmore effective waste management for the next 20 years, he added.

Indonesia seeks urban infrastructure to combat flooding

Indonesia, with over 17,000 islands, is among the countries most vulnerable to rising sea levels, storms, flooding and seismic activity. Jakarta, in particular, is experiencing severe land subsidence — with some areas sinking by as much as 25 centimetres per year — which, coupled with tidal surges, has led to increasingly frequent and severe flooding.
