Foxconn under Hong Hai is reported by internew news sources to undercut worker wages grossly to maintain their competitive edge quite some time ago, like 3-4 years back.

Not to worry, it will backfire. For me, time to great ready for internet shopping for US products.

One of the reasons why people are very weak to is due too much antibiotic consumption. Antibiotics kills everything of the good bad, and ugly of bacteria in your body, which we need. Still, zap the suckers with UV before I drink my Singapore Chateau Evian with a slice of cheese.

worked with Zeeweed hollow fibres modules (From Canada, but got acquired by GE), Weise flat sheet UF modules (this is from Germany) > Yes GE is really pretty smart. They made the Germans jump when GE bought over Jenbacher, the pride of German CHP. I remember some Germans boasting about...

Oh, Prof GMS, since you still like to linger on the topic of water standards with regards to NEWater, check this site out. I forgot about it as I left this topic of research and comparison more than 1 year ago. http://www.pub.gov.sg/newater/Quality/Pages/default.aspx You may want to refute the...

>electrical heating may be safer and more deployable and serviceable in distributed systems. True, but I would like to harvest waste heat for work, whether for pressure or cooling where possible. That is where the sensible Holy Grail should be. You know, to be really holy, one needs to do the...

I rest my case, Prof GMS of GMS Public Policy and Administration with no figures nor facts. I have no doubt that Hong Kong does offers interesting areas of reference for study. You fail to mention that Hong Kong water is subsidized in its 4 tier system, free for the first 12m3, at cost for the...

Yup, precisely my concerns. The other way to get round loading on roofs is to store below ground of HDBs. I am seriously not sure what they run underground in Singapore and also the construction costs and complications of having underground or basement tanks. It will of course solve issues of...

What kind of price differentials do you think we are looking at in terms of opex per cubic metre? For power requirements, any idea for individual HDB blocks? I was toying with decentralized power implementation before with poly-generation. As Trout has mentioned with the 40-foot container units...

I do not know which financial engineering textbook or top university in the world you go to. Perhaps it must be Goh Meng Seng School of Public Policy making. No concept of ROI, no concept of policy making time frame, no concept of material lifespan for accounting and architectural legal...

>If one want to minimize opex costs, generally the capex goes up. You are right, general rule of thumb. I am not sure if we can depress wages in Singapore forever if land and property prices continue to rise. That will really screw the balancing of equation. >However, what one gain on...

The technology was never Singapore Singapore to begin with. We took Japanese and US technology but did better at business marketing. If I remember correctly, the US Army was motivated to convert pee into water in desert condition, much like Dune.

The last publicized cost was $1.15/m3 last year or the year before. Somebody probably wants to accelerate the payback time.

> Well, its not like the malaysian water we get is very clean to begin with, and we've been quite happy with it for a very long time. You are right, the point I was trying to drive across to some idiot. I could do it even more graphically, but it would be religiously insulting...

I toyed with the idea before I gave it up. The problem with decentralized water sources is how decentralized you want to go? Every HDB block or district? You need to consider the targeted storage amount and storage space. We have to realize Singapore is a dense urban country which means that...

There are implications by making the statements that the Leegime did. A private company makes that kind of guarantee based on the going concern premise. CPF Life is a sovereign state run pension with no sovereign guarantee. Leegime is implying that it is not representing a nation nor a company...

Sure, let us hire Latin Americas that only speak Spanish to spice the driving experience! They will always say more than one word with passion but not in English. Maybe I get to practice my Spanish too!

Sorry, not interested.

Clearly, you are the rambling and have no common sense. You know nothing and are thickheaded. You are the one that talks about high level technology and science, but get exposed as a fraud. Do you know how much does a water urinal cost today, do you know how cheap it can get with large scale...

First, you are the one rambling. If you work with waterless toilets you can convert existing toilets effectively. Large scale production is making payback possible in a shorter time. Waterless toilets potentially saves more and we need less investment costs as compared with an alternate piping...
