The Jakarta Provincial Government, in collaboration with PAM JAYA, is\nstrengthening strategic steps to ensure sustainable clean water\navailability for residents. One such initiative involves exploring\ncooperation with Bin Zayed International, an international company\noperating in sectors such as property, energy, construction, information\ntechnology, and infrastructure, based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on\nMonday, 27 April 2026.<\/p>\n
This exploration follows a previous meeting between representatives\nof Bin Zayed and the Jakarta Governor at City Hall. PAM JAYA\u2019s visit to\nMalaysia has opened further communications regarding potential\ncollaboration, particularly in developing basic infrastructure and urban\nservices.<\/p>\n
As an initial step, both parties signed a non-disclosure agreement\n(NDA). This agreement opens avenues for data exchange, technical\nstudies, and more detailed discussions on opportunities for cooperation\nin developing Jakarta\u2019s Drinking Water Supply System (SPAM).<\/p>\n
PAM JAYA\u2019s President Director, Arief Nasrudin, stated that partnering\nwith various parties is part of the strategy to address clean water\nservice challenges. He emphasised that achieving 100% drinking water\nservice coverage in Jakarta requires support from partners with\ncapacity, technology, and experience.<\/p>\n
According to Arief, the challenges extend beyond service expansion to\nreducing water leakage rates or non-revenue water (NRW). Jakarta\u2019s\nstatus as a densely populated city with complex underground utility\nnetworks makes these efforts far from simple.<\/p>\n
\u201cReducing NRW is one of PAM JAYA\u2019s major tasks. In Jakarta, the\nchallenges are not straightforward due to building density, complex\nutility networks, and continuously increasing service needs,\u201d Arief said\nin Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on Monday, 27 April 2026.<\/p>\n
He added that collaboration with various parties, including Bin Zayed\nInternational, is crucial to explore possibilities for technological\nsupport, investment, and relevant international experience for\nJakarta.<\/p>\n
In addition to SPAM development, Bin Zayed International has\nexpressed interest in other strategic infrastructure projects, including\nthe Giant Sea Wall. This interest aligns with efforts to transform\nJakarta into a global city with resilient and sustainable\ninfrastructure.<\/p>\n
Besides Malaysia, PAM JAYA is also engaging in communications with\npartners from other countries such as Turkey and Switzerland. These\ncommunications aim to explore cooperation opportunities, knowledge\nexchange, and technology utilisation to enhance service quality.<\/p>\n
Arief stressed that the NDA signing is not merely a formality but an\ninitial step to ensure the collaboration process proceeds\nprofessionally, accountably, and based on thorough studies. He\nemphasised that the interests of residents remain the top priority.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is an entry point to ensure every collaboration process is\nconducted professionally, accountably, and based on mature studies. PAM\nJAYA will continue to uphold principles of prudence, good governance,\nand the primary interests of Jakarta residents,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Through this exploration, the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government and\nPAM JAYA hope to expand strategic collaborations in clean water\nprovision, strengthen urban infrastructure, and improve community\nquality of life. This cooperation is also expected to support Jakarta\u2019s\nefforts in building international networks towards a competitive and\nresilient global city.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/pursuing-100-service-coverage-pam-jaya-partners-with-bin-zayed-international-1777427541", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
