AWC Lands 10-Year Automated Waste Concession at Terminal Bersepadu Gombak

SUBANG JAYA: Main Market-listed engineering services provider AWC Berhad (“AWC” or “the Group”) has strengthened its foothold in sustainable urban infrastructure with a strategic win—securing a 10-year Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) concession for an automated waste collection system at Terminal Bersepadu Gombak, Kuala Lumpur.

Awarded to its wholly owned subsidiary Stream Environment Sdn Bhd (SESB), the concession is valued at RM18.4 million and runs from 15 March 2025, encompassing the construction, operation, servicing, and maintenance of the system in collaboration with Landasan Kapital (M) Sdn Bhd and Terminal Bersepadu Gombak Sdn Bhd.

“This is a significant milestone that affirms both our technical expertise and track record in delivering modern environmental solutions,” said Dato’ Ahmad Kabeer bin Mohamed Nagoor, Group Chief Executive Officer and President of AWC Berhad. “It reinforces our commitment to driving smart, sustainable solutions that align with the evolving needs of urban infrastructure.”

The award also adds a substantial boost to AWC’s environment division, increasing its outstanding order book—valued at RM163 million as of end-December 2024—and enhancing its recurring revenue stream, which currently accounts for approximately 22 per cent of total turnover.

“This BOT concession offers clear earnings visibility for the next decade and positions us well to capitalise on future opportunities, both locally and globally,” Dato’ Ahmad Kabeer added. “We’re not just managing waste—we’re redefining how public transportation hubs function by integrating environmentally friendly, high-efficiency waste solutions.”

The Gombak project marks AWC’s second BOT venture, following its successful decade-long contract at KLIA Terminal 2, which has since transitioned into a three-year maintenance agreement worth RM8.9 million. The Group sees this latest concession as a continuation of its strategy to deliver long-term value while strengthening client partnerships.

As cities accelerate their transition toward smarter, greener infrastructure, AWC’s proprietary technology and engineering capabilities are expected to play a vital role in enabling efficient, low-impact urban environments.

Singapore Leads $510 Million Push For Green Infrastructure IThe Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has successfully secured $510 million in committed capital for a new fund aimed at financing green infrastructure projects across Southeast and South Asia. The initiative, called the Green Investments Partnership, forms part of the broader Financing Asia’s Transition Partnership (FAST-P) and will focus on supporting renewable energy, energy storage, and sustainable transport initiatives. The fund has attracted commitments from a mix of regional and global investors, including HSBC, Singapore’s sovereign wealth investor Temasek, and the Australian government. Its design blends public and private capital to mitigate risk while accelerating the deployment of climate-related projects. Pentagreen Capital to Oversee Fund Management Management of the fund will be handled by Pentagreen Capital, a sustainable infrastructure debt platform jointly established by HSBC and Temasek. Pentagreen specializes in financing projects that are often overlooked by traditional investors but carry high potential for climate and social impact. “Pentagreen has brought together a diverse group of partners, participating across both commercial and concessional layers of the capital structure to de-risk and fund marginally bankable green infrastructure projects,” said Gillian Tan, MAS Assistant Managing Director (Development & International) and Chief Sustainability Officer. This layered approach allows concessional capital to attract commercial investors who might otherwise shy away from projects in markets with higher financial or political risk—a core principle of FAST-P’s strategy. Addressing Regional Transition Needs Southeast and South Asia face some of the world’s fastest-growing energy demand, while many economies remain heavily reliant on coal. Expanding access to affordable capital for renewable energy and low-carbon infrastructure is critical for aligning the region with global climate goals. The Green Investments Partnership will prioritize utility-scale renewable energy projects, battery storage, clean mobility solutions, and supporting infrastructure. MAS has emphasized that investments will be evaluated not only on their emissions-reduction potential but also on broader social benefits, such as job creation and community development. Global Significance and Policy Alignment Singapore’s fund aligns with international efforts to close the climate finance gap in emerging markets. According to the International Energy Agency, developing economies must triple annual investment in clean energy to meet global net-zero targets. By positioning itself as a hub for blended finance, Singapore reinforces its regional capital market role while advancing its own climate agenda. The initiative also complements Australia’s economic and diplomatic engagement in Asia, reflecting Canberra’s increasing focus on climate finance. Investor Implications For investors and business leaders, the Green Investments Partnership offers a model for channeling capital into markets with substantial infrastructure needs but higher risk profiles. The initiative demonstrates how public-private collaboration can be scaled effectively to mobilize resources quickly, while balancing financial returns with measurable environmental and social impact. The fund’s success will depend on effective execution: navigating diverse regulatory landscapes, ensuring capital deployment translates into tangible decarbonization outcomes, and balancing investor expectations with climate goals. If successful, it could serve as a blueprint for other regions seeking to unlock private investment for the energy transition. A Regional Initiative with Global Impact With $510 million already committed and additional fundraising anticipated, the Green Investments Partnership signals Asia’s central role in global climate action. MAS is leveraging its convening power to align governments, financial institutions, and investors, positioning Singapore not only as a financial hub but also as a key driver of the region’s transition to sustainable, low-carbon infrastructure.n Asia
