“And to those of my friends in PH who questioned this matter, I want them to review it, as we all made the decision together. Today, PN just continued the decision made by them,” he added.He also said that the contract was awarded to a private company — Mainiza Teknitek Recowaste Sdn Bhd — because it has vast experience in waste management and could cooperate with the state-owned Majuperak Holdings Bhd .
“Since the privatisation concession is a monopoly in nature, it is a concern of many that the prices or service charges will inevitably increase and will add burdens to the lives of many people who are facing unemployment and economic hardship.
