Interview with SPAN chairman Charles Santiago

FOR a body that regulates a service as important as making sure that there is enough water for Malaysians to drink, the National Water Services Commission (SPAN) sits in an unassuming building off the main thoroughfare in Cyberjaya.

Sharing a modest block with the Malaysian branch of the World Health Organisation, the office of the commission chairman is on the upper floor and is simply furnished with serviceable tables and chairs.
