Water flushing is done to remove sediments or other contaminants that are built up in pipes during construction over time. Flushing can help reduce corrosive conditions associated with bio-film growth that can often lead to leaks and breaks. Effective water flushing is done with high flow pumps so that scouring action is created. CESCO has a range of pumps to achieve this.
CESCO acknowledges the recent waste disposal incident in Malaysia and expresses its deepest regret over the matter. We have taken immediate steps to work in full cooperation with the relevant environmental and regulatory authorities to resolve the situation and to prevent any recurrence.
Following a comprehensive internal investigation, it was determined that the incident stemmed from actions taken by third-party contractors that violated our environmental compliance standards and internal governance protocols. The actions were not sanctioned by CESCO and are entirely inconsistent with our values of integrity, sustainability, and corporate accountability.
As part of our response, Mr. Tan Eng Yong — who was involved in the contractor selection process — has ceased all affiliation with CESCO with effect from 25 April 2025. This decision was made to reinforce our uncompromising stance on ethical conduct and responsible stewardship.
CESCO upholds the highest standards of environmental protection, transparency, and operational integrity. We are committed to strengthening our compliance framework and will continue to take all necessary measures to safeguard the trust placed in us by our stakeholders, communities, and regulatory partners.
We thank the authorities for their continued guidance and oversight during this time.
