Will NEWATER and Desalination Bankrupt S'pore?

No country can ever be self sufficient. Its a delusion. Its always a balance of how much is it worth without killing ourselves. You can refuse to buy uranium but you cannot stop drinking water.
Every country exist on the premise that they have something that the world wants.
LKY's strategy of first strike upon cutting off water works. If only we build in mechanisms for inflation into water prices, everybody will be happy.
:
When LKY starts treating other gov't like the "lesser mortals" of Spore, it's more like arrogance
I've talked with indonesians, Thais, Malaysians, and SporeansI & they have few positive things to say about LKY. Unfortunately the ill will that LKY creates has a negative halo effect on us "lesser mortals".
That is one of the reasons I'm reluctant to admit to being a Sporean when I travel in this region:o

If you think about it, a lot of our suffering is caused by that old coot. His hard headed stubbornness and getting kicked out from being Malaysian PM will still have after effects for the next 5~6 generations.
Fact is Malaysian Chinese have a better life in than Singapore Chinese. Sometimes open discrimination is better than hidden ones.
Better life? How?
I agree that life as a Malaysian chinese isn't so bad. Know a number of Malaysian chinese who turned down job offers from Spore companies because they have heard about the problems working in Spore
If you are hard working you can easily do better than the laid back Malays. That's why many Malay managers are quite happy to hire the chinese
Many chinese eventually go solo, setting up their own businesses with their relatives/friends. I notice that the Malaysian chinese are more into networking than their Spore counterparts. This helps them find lobangs.Had a Malaysian chinese boss while working in a Spore MNC. This boss was very bright & everyday I would hear her talking to her kakis. They keep close touch with each other & help each other out, more than most Sporeans
She eventually left to work in HK because of the better prospects. So don't think the Malaysian chinese can't make it

HK has always been a place where people go to to make $$$
Had a relative who moved with his family from Spore to HK in the 70's. Made his $$$ & then emigrated to Aust. Even had some class mates who went there to make their $, before going to China became fashionable
On my research.
There are 2 agreement/contract.
1st contract 86million gallon/day(already expired)
2nd contract 250million gallon/day( expired in 2061)>>lucky this not expired. If not prepare for water price to be at least $3/1000 litre.
Now Singapore buy raw water at RM0.03/1000 gallon and selling back at RM.0.50/1000gallon.
1000gallon = 3800Litre
Even selling back RM0.50/1000gallon still have profit because sell it to state. No need to lay pipe to resident.
Malaysia sell water to resident from RM0.30 ~$1.50 depending on state and usage. Normally 1st 20,000Litre is less than RM0.50.
Price in RM and contract so cheap because Singapore under Malaysia.
So for raw water cost of filtering the water. I estimate about SG$0.10(or less)/1000 litre
For New Water I estimate cost is SG$0.50/1000litre
For Desalination Water cost is SG$0.70/1000 litre.
The above is water plant cost/1000 litre.
Now PUB-Singapore selling water to resident at SG$1.17/1000 litre not included tax. If included tax will be about $1.52/1000litre for 1st 40,000litre not included GST.
So will estimate the water price will increase by 30% very soon.
New water and Desalination water consume lot of energy. If oil price up cost for water will increase also.

U seem like someone who knows what they are talking about for newwater. In fact, in almost all countries that use the Newwater style water treatment process, they blend the water with their other supplies, hence watering it down. I am not aware of any place that will bottle the Newwater straight and sell it or give it as drinking water. except in singapore. U are right, there are many undisclosed costs and in addition, the costs will only get higher as the price of energy goes up. Just compare the price of fuel now to what it was last year when I started this thread. I estimated costs to be about Sgd $3 per 1000 gallons, instead of the 50 sen per 1000 gallons we could have been paying.
The other factor is the introduction of almost 2 million FTs into singapore. We could have reduce the number of desalination and new water plants if they were not here. Hence the production costs overall will be less for water. We got PAP MPs sponsoring FT "Water Festivals", limpeh cheebyes.

U just look around and see who are the rich people. U will see that most of them made their money OUTSIDE singapore. That already tells u something.
U truly are an indiot.
Blowjob award of the year goes to you...............oh wait, that was Cooleo's award. U take second place, can or not?
The problem is that Lee Con You has for ever been going around telling the world how rich we are, how high our GDP per capita is, how much billions $ we have in our soveriegn wealth fund. Like that how to negotiate with another party when they already know u have money. They will hold out for the higher price from you and try to milk you for every dollar. Better to pretend like u are poor, and cannot afford a high price. Lee Con You is inflating his own ego with our money.
Even the ritchie riches & their families have moved on to places like Australia, Canada,... :(
Over the years I've known many Sporeans, Malaysians, Indonesian, Hongkies leave Spore
Many are comfortably off as they have $$ & skills that are in demand in the 1st world. These are the types of people that make a country. Guess Spore is not big enough for the PAP & "others" to coexist
Personally made money from the US market & not from Spore
As an uncle I'm sad to see what Spore has become & the time I wasted doing NS:(
