While being a role model for developing nations,
Malaysia is also a transitory country by benefiting the
best from both developed and developing countries.
ISWA World Congress in 2018 will provide the platform
for both worlds to learn by highlighting the needs and
interests of each region with priority given to the issues
that are consistent to developing economies. It would
attract more participation from developing countries as
well as a convenient location for delegates from
Asia to travel particularly from the economic giants of
China, India and Australasia.
WMAM would target to draw participations from the
regions and would enlist the support from ISWA
members and counterparts in the region especially in
Singapore, Indonesia, and Thailand. This would
ultimately contribute towards increasing the number of
ISWA membership worldwide.
This goes back to the basic objectives of this congress;
To learn from ISWA members and practitioners from
around the world; To share on our practices on waste
management as well as from those from neighboring
countries; and, To exchange knowledge, best practices
and latest advancement in research and practices as
well as networking opportunities for practitioners, policy
makers and students in the region with fellow members
and experts of ISWA from around the world.

Dear Mr. Koller,
EXPRESSION OF INTEREST TO HOST THE INTERNATIONAL SOLID WASTE
ASSOCIATION (ISWA) WORLD CONGRESS 2018 IN MALAYSIA
It is with great honour that I wish to inform you that the Waste Management Association of Malaysia (WMAM) would like to
express our interest in hosting the prestigious International Solid Waste Association (ISWA) World Congress, to be held in
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in 2018 after failing to win the bid for ISWA World Congress 2017.
WMAM and the city of Kuala Lumpur are well equipped to host this prestigious event and in this bid, we aim to make a very

Minimization” for ISWA World Congress 2018 in Malaysia.
3. Hosting Country - Malaysia
Malaysia is strategically placed to stage international conventions. English is widely spoken yet it is multilingual. Malaysia’s mix of
Malay, Chinese, Indian, Middle Eastern and Western cultures means it can cater well for a diversity of food, language and cultural
needs. With its strategic location at the heart of Asia, great value for money and world-class infrastructure, it’s easy to see why
more and more conferences are being held in Malaysia.
Malaysia’s bustling economy is at the heart of the world’s largest economic growth region. The nation is a key player within
ASEAN and the South East Asia (SEA) region, which has a population of over 600 million.
Under the government’s Economic Transformation Programme (ETP), with the goal for Malaysia to achieve developed nation
status by 2020, the country has become a role model for the developing world with a growing diversity of industry sectors.
Substantial investments have been made in infrastructure, research, education and urban development over the last few
decades, which have helped create a vibrant and dynamic economy.
There are two parts to Malaysia, with 11 states making up Peninsular Malaysia, bordered by Thailand to the North and
Singapore to the South, as well as the states of Sabah and Sarawak, that make up East Malaysia. This makes Malaysia
geographically diverse as well, from white sandy beaches, to lush tropical rainforests rich in flora and fauna to cool, crisp
highlands, including Mount Kinabalu, the tallest mountain in South East Asia.

Strategic Location
Malaysia is located in the heart
of Southeast Asia and between
two giant economies, China and
India. Asia is also where over
50% of the world’s population
resides. Malaysia is easily
accessible from all parts of the
world by air, land and sea. It also
serves as the travel hub for the
Southeast Asia region, being the
first-entry destination within the
region.

Excellent Value for Money
With accommodation, transportation and food being very competitively priced, Malaysia is ranked as one of the world’s best
value-for-money destinations. This is a major draw for delegates from developing nations that had resulted in high attendance
numbers in previous conferences.
Easy Access
There are 2 major international air terminals in Kuala Lumpur. Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) is the main travel hub
of Malaysia with direct flights from most Asia Pacific countries within 1 to 6 hours. There are over 60 international airlines that
fly directly to KLIA connecting 113 major cities including Australia, the UK and the USA, making Malaysia easily accessible
from anywhere in the world.
The KLIA 2 is built to be Malaysia’s Next Generation Hub. It is Kuala Lumpur International Airport’s newest terminal, built to cater for
the explosive growth in low cost travel with seamless connectivity for both local and international low-cost plus full-service carriers.
Please refer to Appendix VI for the list of airlines flying into Malaysia and the List of Countries with Direct Flights to Malaysia.
Safety, Stability and Security
One of the strong assets that draw international visitors and tourists is the politically stable country and diversity of Asian cultures.

Host City: Kuala Lumpur
As the nation’s capital, Kuala Lumpur is a major cultural, financial, economic and education centre for the South East Asia Region.
The city is a kaleidoscope of fascinating sights and sounds, with all the buzz of a modern city, yet rich in culture and heritage.
There is a stunning contrast in this city, on one end of the spectrum is the modern PETRONAS Twin Towers and on the other, are
numerous pre-war heritage buildings, which reflect Kuala Lumpur’s rich past, that blends nicely with the modern architecture.
With massive investment in venues, transportation and
technological infrastructure over the last two decades,
Kuala Lumpur is fast becoming a popular destination for major
events and conventions.
Getting There
Kuala Lumpur is ranked 31st in the World and
8th in the Asia Pacific region for the number of
international conventions held in 2012
(International Congress and Convention Association)
Travelling time between KLIA and Kuala Lumpur is only 28 minutes on the KLIA Express Rail Link (ERL) and 45 minutes’ drive
by direct motorway link. Local transport options include rail, monorail and taxi services at very economical prices.

THEME: Sustainable Consumption towards Waste Minimization
Human civilization has created a consumer society where higher purchasing parity translated into higher economic status.
Unfortunately, this creates an unsustainable society where consumption is based on ‘want’ rather than ‘need’. Current rate of
consumption had exceeded the earth’s carrying capacity that on average each human has an ecological footprint of 1.5. This
unsustainable way of life has led to the generation of ever increasing waste and the depletion of natural resources. Thus, this needs to
be changed drastically in order to reduce our ‘pollution footprint’ and ‘loaned natural resources’.
This can be achieved via various ways of sustainable consumption. Consumption reflects waste generation quality and quantity.
Minimization could be achieved with the implementation of an integrated system and instillation of 5R concepts of Rethink, Repair,
Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. Not only the actions reduce the waste generation but it will also encourage a more responsible utilization
of natural resources.
WMAM has proposed a scientific programme that covers all topics of interests that will appeal to solid waste management and studies.
The vision of our proposed scientific programme is to cover 3 key objectives:
•
To learn – from ISWA members and practitioners from around the world. Effective management of solid waste is one of the
prerequisites for Malaysia to achieve a developed country status. It is generally recognized that there is a strong relationship
between the effective management of solid waste and a good quality of life and a healthy environment. The attractiveness
of the country to foreign visitors and investments is very much influenced by a clean and healthy environment. ISWA and its
global representation of practitioners will provide the exposure for the local practitioners in Malaysia to learn the best of SWM
practices;
•
To share – on our practices on waste management, the pitfalls and successes as well as challenges faced with the
implementation of the National Strategic Plan for Solid Waste Management for the country. This strategic plan, released in
2005 serves as a guide in planning and allocating resources based on national priorities and consensus. We would also like
to share the waste management practices undertaken by our South East Asian counterparts as well as with the others around
the world on SWM practices through regional or international collaborations, education and training in developing the waste
reduction, re-use and recovery elements in SWM towards sustainable production and consumption.; AND,
•
To exchange – knowledge, best practices and latest advancement in research and technologies as well as networking
opportunities for practitioners, policy makers and students in the region with fellow members of ISWA from around the world.
This will help to promote international awareness and support developing and emerging economies to establish sustainable
waste management practices.
The Keynote Lecture will cover Malaysia’s solid waste policy, to be delivered by the most renowned Malaysia figure. Malaysia is the first
country in the world that federalised the management of solid waste through the Solid Waste Management Act 672. Through ISWA
World Congress 2018, we would like to showcase how Malaysia has achieved this feat. Being a developing nation, we would like to
leave a legacy to the other developing nations to bring waste management knowledge and practices to be at par with the developed
nations. In its effort to ensure a coordinated, effective and efficient SWM, the Federal Government has embarked on a process of
federalisation of SWM for the country and privatising the collection and transportation of solid waste so as to reduce the financial
pressure on the local authorities. This is a long term measure to ensure a coordinated approach in SWM is taken in consideration of,
and in tandem with, the overall sustainable development planning for the country.
There will be case studies that would be beneficial for practitioners to learn how the others have done it as well as exchange knowledge
on successes and challenges faced in SWM.
The topics would be relevant to global audience especially towards developing countries. New subjects of current interests are also
being highlighted such as marine and coastal waste management. Malaysia has a very long coast lines and have many beautiful
beaches that are an attraction to local and foreign tourists. Management of wastes along these beaches are therefore very important
to the tourism industry.
Malaysia, being a prominent and active member in ASEAN will draw its ASEAN Ministers responsible in Waste Management to
participate in a forum at ISWA 2018. The scientific programme will end with an ASEAN forum on revaluation in waste management,
policy and practices which hopefully would create or set a more sustainable approach in SWM.
What WMAM would like to achieve from ISWA 2018 is to educate the community, the practitioners,
governments and consumers on sustainable consumption. To go back to the basics in respecting
our natural resources through education and awareness and how to utilise our natural resources in
a responsible manner. Through sustainable consumption, wastage could be minimised thus reduce
cost and build a stronger economy to the community.
Pre-congress Workshop (1 day)
Informal Sector and Waste Recycling in Developing Countries: Impact on Landfilling
Informal sectors play a crucial role in recycling in developing countries. However, there are pros and cons of the involvement of
this sector. This workshop is dedicated to highlight the issues pertaining to informal sectors and landfilling. This would be a one-day
pre-congress workshop and the speakers will be experts invited for the Congress.
Topics to be discussed would be social economic impacts of informal sectors in waste recycling, waste reduction, safety and health
aspects, policy and regulations pertaining to recycling, and climate change.
Between the Congress days, the social programmes of Welcome Reception and Gala Dinner will also be included to showcase to the
international participants of ISWA World Congress 2018 the rich culture and warm hospitality of the local host.

Technical Tours: 25 - 26 October 2018
We have planned an exciting and educational technical visits to unique venues for delegates to choose that will be of interests
in their field of study, research and profession in SWM.
1. Bukit Tagar Landfill
This is one of the largest and most advanced engineered sanitary landfill in South East Asia that adopts a
holistic approach to sustain our natural resources and integrity of the environment. The objective of bringing
solid waste management in the context of landfilling to the next level by implementing several groundbreaking innovations and technologies, such as the Zero-discharge policy for treated effluent, reed bed
polishing and a comprehensive landfill gas management system for optimal environmental protection.
2. Melaka Sungai Udang Sanitary Landfill
The Sungai Udang Sanitary Landfill receives between 1200 and 1800 tonnes of municipal solid waste per
day. The landfill caters to the disposal needs of the State of Melaka. The treatment facilities at site include
a leachate treatment plant, materials recovery facility, weighbridge-scale, landfill gas utilization plant and
infrastructure facilities such as an administration centre, access roads and washing facilities. Phase 2
expansion plan includes 32.1 acres of land for a Waste-to-Energy facility and ash landfilling.
3. Bukit Nanas Toxic Waste Facilities
This facility, located at Bukit Nanas, Negeri Sembilan some 70km from city centre completes the service
chain of offering a complete cradle to grave services on hazardous waste management solution to its
wide customer base. This facility incorporates the latest technologies and is especially efficient in recycling
and recovering the various categories of hazardous waste based on the 4R concept (recycle, reduce,
reuse and recover). The aim is to minimise waste disposal costs whilst maximising the levels of recycling
through combination of management and technical expertise to deliver solutions for recycling-led waste
management services.
4. Pajam Integrated Energy Park
The Park is a 26 ha former landfill that has been transformed into an Integrated Renewable Energy Park
in Pajam, 70km from Kuala Lumpur. In Phase 1, 32,000 photovoltaic (PV) panels were installed, currently
supplying 8MW to the National Grid. Under Phase 2, another 20,000 solar panel will be added and biogas
produced from the landfill will be harnessed to fire 2 gas engines. Once completed the Park is expected to
be the single biggest solar farm in Southeast Asia capable of producing 19GWh of electricity per annum from
solar and another 17GWh from biogas.
5. Sungai Kertas Construction & Demolition Waste Recycling Facility
This inert waste landfill is located in Kuala Lumpur. Construction waste makes up 80% of solid waste that
is illegally disposed and to ensure a more organised system is in place so the waste could be recycled,
it is mandatory for construction waste to be disposed at a proper waste landfill. The landfill is specifically
provided for inert waste such as construction and demolition waste, soil, tyres, garden waste and other
dry, non-leachable waste. The capacity of this inert landfill would be expended with new machines such as
mobile crusher to accommodate the burden of 1.04mil metric tonnes of construction waste disposed
annually within the city and is expected to increase to 1.34mil metric tonnes a year by 2020.
Social Programmes
Gala Dinner
Istana Negara, The National Palace that was once the official residence of the King of Malaysia would create a majestic setting
for an evening of dining and socialising for the delegates. Istana Negara adapts the style of Neo-Palladian architecture, which
originated in England in the early 18th century. This outstanding piece of structure is now open to the public as nostalgic icon

7. Approach and Beneficial Attributes by WMAM towards Government,
Academic, Private, Public and Institutional Sectors
WMAM is made up of policy makers, practitioners as well as academicians from public and private institutions whose main
objective is towards waste management for sustainable future. WMAM will identify the key personnel from government
agencies, experts from universities and private sectors that will support towards the success of ISWA World Congress 2018.
Government Engagement
There are 2 principal government ministries which are the key supporters of WMAM’s effort in bidding for ISWA World Congress
2018. The Ministry of Urban Wellbeing, Housing and Local Government (UHLG) is the custodian of the National Strategic Plan
for Solid Waste Management and a strong promoter of ISWA’s mission and objectives. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Energy, Green
Technology and Water Malaysia (MEGW) ensures sustainable waste management in tandem with environmental conservation.
Through our Ministries’ supports, this would draw the
participation from the South East Asian region especially
ASEAN Countries. Lawmakers and practitioners would be
Ministry of Urban Wellbeing,
Ministry of Energy,
involved and moving forward, regional and international
Kuala Lumpur City Hall
Housing and Local Government
Green Technology and Water
collaborations on education, training and knowledge
exchanges would be signed. This would ultimately create the media interest towards ISWA 2018 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Thus helps to publicise ISWA’s mission and global objectives to promote and develop sustainable and professional waste
management worldwide.
7
Academic, Private, Public/Institutional Sectors Engagement
Malaysia is an educational hub within the South East Asia region. The Institute of Biological
Sciences, Faculty of Science at University Malaya, will provide the academic input and participation.
The University of Malaya is a public research university located in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, the oldest educational institution and
the top university in Malaysia.
As the country’s foremost Institute of Biological Sciences, there are eight undergraduate degree programmes: Bioinformatics,
Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Biohealth Science, Microbiology, Ecology & Biodiversity, Genetics & Molecular Biology, Science
& Environmental Management. The postgraduate programmes offered are Masters and Ph.D. (by research) and also three
taught Master programmes, namely the Master of Biotechnology, Master in Technology (Environmental Management) and
Master in Bioinformatics.
The Institute of Biological Sciences will continue to strive to be a centre of excellence and in addition, through its
international network of universities it will be able to garner more interests especially in attracting participation of students or
young professionals from the region and from developing economies.
8. Involving ISWA Members, the Working Groups and STC
Working in tandem with the ISWA Scientific Technical Committee, WMAM will ensure the objectives of ISWA World Congress
2018 are met.
While being a role model for developing nations, Malaysia is also a transitory country by benefiting the best from both
developed and developing countries. ISWA World Congress in 2018 will provide the platform for both worlds to learn by
highlighting the needs and interests of each region with priority given to the issues that are consistent to developing
economies. It would attract more participation from developing countries as well as a convenient location for delegates from
Asia to travel particularly from the economic giants of China, India and Australasia.
WMAM would target to draw participations from the regions and would enlist the support from ISWA members and
counterparts in the region especially in Singapore, Indonesia, and Thailand. This would ultimately contribute towards
increasing the number of ISWA membership worldwide.
This goes back to the basic objectives of this congress; To learn from ISWA members and practitioners from around
the world; To share on our practices on waste management as well as from those from neighbouring countries; and, To
exchange knowledge, best practices and latest advancement in research and practices as well as networking opportunities for
practitioners, policy makers and students in the region with fellow members and experts of ISWA from around the world.

operational cost and making it affordable for participants especially from developing nations to come and participate through
provision of affordable congress fee to maximise the attendance in ISWA World Congress 2018.
An interesting and comprehensive Scientific Programme which covers various aspects of Solid Waste Management.
Strong local and regional supports from South East Asian and ASEAN Countries and strong industry sponsorship for
maximum revenue, maximum media interests towards sustainable solid waste management and maximum impact on
education, training and knowledge sharing. Malaysia has established itself as the education hub within the region due to its
high quality education system and ease of communication.
A country that is rich in biodiversity which needs to learn from the world experts and practitioners on how to maintain its rich
natural resources through sustainable and professional waste management efforts towards cleaner environment through
scientific, economic and social instruments.
Bringing together more members especially from developing countries and attracting newer members into International Solid

budget level of the participants of ISWA World Congress 2018.
14. Legacy
Being a developing nation, we would like to leave a legacy to the other developing nations to bring waste management
knowledge and practices to be at par with the developed nations. In its effort to ensure a coordinated, effective and efficient
SWM, the Federal Government has embarked on a process of federalisation of SWM for the country and privatising the
collection and transportation of solid waste so as to reduce the financial pressure on the local authorities. This is a long term
measure to ensure a coordinated approach in SWM is taken in consideration of, and in tandem with, the overall sustainable
development planning for the country.

Testimonials
70th Internal Auditors Conference (IIA) 2011
“With members in 165 countries, Malaysia’s diversity and cultural richness provides a perfect
background for our conference. Malaysia is an affordable – yet still a world-class destination in
the middle of a growing Asian market, which makes it very attractive to a conference of our size.”
Mr Augusto Baeta
Manager of Global Professional Development, Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA), Florida, USA
18th World Congress of Accountants 2010
“What will always remain with me is the sense of being cared for and looked after: from the
greeting in the airport and personal escort to the hotel; to the aid provided to speakers on the day
of our presentations; to our escort to the airport for the return trip home. The bar has been set
very high for future World Congresses.”
Mr Phil Cowperthwaite
Chairman, International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB)
43rd Union World Conference on Lung Health 2012
“Malaysia provides a compelling setting for the Conference that brings together views from
around the world to call for action against lung disease. We are also very pleased with all the
collaborations and support which we have gained from local sponsors and partners who offered
excellent advice on a variety of local matters.”
Dr Nils E Billo
Executive Director, International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease (The Union)
