Malaysia is facing a growing water crisis that extends far beyond dry taps and household rationing. For businesses, water insecurity is emerging as a serious operational, financial and economic risk. According to the World Bank, climate change could shave up to 8.3% off Malaysia’s GDP by 2050 in a worst-case scenario, highlighting how water security is evolving into a significant operational, business and economic risk.

We discuss: 

• Why can Malaysia experience both floods and water shortages at the same time

• What households, businesses, and industries should be doing now to prepare for future water stress, from conservation measures and storage solutions to reducing dependence on treated water systems.

• Why water security is becoming a critical issue for investment, operations and long-term national resilience.

• How Malaysia loses around RM2 billion annually through non-revenue water 

• Why fixing the system could require up to US$70 billion in investment over the next 25 years
