Financials

Bin Ismail was listed as one of the 40 richest men in Malaysia in 2011[3] with an estimated net worth of $155 million.[6] According to Puncak Niaga Annual Report 2012, his total numeration fell within the RM33.3-RM33.4 million band during the financial year. His lucrative remuneration package has drawn public ire given the unsatisfactory level of water services in Selangor.[7] His salary is a whooping RM 5.1 million a year.[8][9]

Puncak Niaga

Puncak Niaga was founded by Bin Ismail in the 1990s.[10] The company orchestrated early water concession in Kuala Lumpur. Ismail's ties to Selangor politicians enabled him to facilitate public-private partnerships and influence the decision to employ a three-stage water treatment scheme in the region.[11]

Puncak Niaga is the parent company of SYABAS.[3] In October 2015 both companies were taken over by the Selangor state government.[12]

In 2018 Syarikat Pengeluar Air Sungai Selangor (SPLASH) filed a suit against SYABAS, claiming RM 4.22 billion in outstanding receivables. According to the chairman of the Malaysian Chinese Association (MCA), Tan Gim Tuan, since the government took over, Syabas had reported massive annual losses every year. He further claimed that the suit could bankrupt the whole state.[13]

Politics

In the political scene, Rozali was the treasurer of United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) Selangor and UMNO Hulu Selangor Division. [4]

Rozali is also the adviser for the Sultan Idris Shah Polytechnics.[14]

Rozali bin Ismail is the Chairman of Gabungan Wawasan Generasi Felda (GWGF) – a group of 14 non-government organizations that speak for settlers and their families nationwide, estimated at some 600,000 people. In 2017 he called to disclose the identity of those responsible in the land ownership transfer, to reveal the identities of those involved in the suspicious RM200 million sale of Felda's land in Jalan Semarak.[15] In 2018  bin Ismail announced that GWGF would continue to support the Barisan Nasional Party and the United Malays National Organization Government in Malaysia's 14th general election.[16]

Awards & Recognition

He was bestowed the Socrates Awards, a prestigious award given to successful businessmen around the globe who contributed their ideas and experiences to the international community. Rozali Ismail is also an activist in promoting the local economy, politics, education and Malaysian culture to the world.[17][18]
