DPM hints price of water may rise

[griffin]

DPM Tharman and 2nd Min for Env Grace Fu have dropped broad hints of a looming water shortage inferring a rise in water rates. Why is there going to be a water shortage despite spending millions on Newater and desalination to bolster traditional raw water from Malaysia? Simple answer: We have more than 2 million foreigners who are siphoning off and sponging on our water. Must Singaporeans suffer because we have to share our life giving water with pesky foreigners. They have stolen our jobs, our housing, our individual space, our transport and what not. Now they want to steal our precious water.
If there is a price increase, PAP will face an unhappy local population in the coming polls.

SINGAPORE: With the prolonged dry spell and rise in daily water demand, it is important to make adjustments like cutting down on non-essential water usage -- Deputy Prime Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam said this on Saturday at one of the five fringe activities celebrating World Water Day in Singapore.

Mr Tharman said it is also important to ensure stable water supply, but emphasised that everyone must make a determined effort to conserve water.

He added: "PUB is increasing the use of NEWater and desalinated water because there is less local water catchment. These two taps don't depend so much on the weather. So even during a dry spell, we have NEWater and desalinated water.

"But to make NEWater and desalinated water, we need energy. And, fuel is needed, electricity has to be generated. So we can't over-depend on NEWater and desalinated water in the long run."

A dry spell won't last forever. A price hike, on the other hand, is like herpes: once you have it, it stays with you forever.

Will this mean I will have to pay more for the 30cents tap water at Aston's Steakhouse?

 

[escher]

It meant that the PAP maggots cockroaches walking bags of excrement are determined to laugh louder and laugh more on the way to their banks.

Stinkies voted and voted and voted for them and stinkies got what the fuck they voted for

MORE TIEWING AND MORE KANNING AND MORE RAPING AS STINKIES STAY HEAD DOWN DOWN AND ARSEHOLES UP HIGH HIGH PEEKING OUT AT THE MARCH
OF PAP MAGGOTS COCKROACHES AS THEY LAUGH LOUD AND CLEAR ON WAY TO THEIR BANKS

AS BBC PUT IT CORRECTLY, SINGAPORE IS THE MOST MISERABLE PLACE TO BE ON THIS PLANET.

Since when has the PAP ever hinted at anything that didn't become a reality?
The only question is whether the hike it will be before or after the GE?

This coming GE Sporean can decide if they want a population of 8+ million people & all the price hikes the PAP represents. I wonder when they will start at "hinting" on a 10% GST.

 

[nutbush]

not surprised that this may be an coincident excuse to raise the price of water, everywhere grass patches have dried up and turned yellow as well.

More like the FAP Traitors are using the increase in demand from FTrashisation to profiteer just like they are using it to hike property, transport and other essential prices to fatten the Familee's pockets. With free votes for them in the GE to boot.

They definitely would if they could. Anything that those scumbags can monetize, they will.

Sinkies all go to smear of shit on sole of shoe LKY grave and shit on top and cover that with a mountain of shit so that LKY cannot come out.
Anyway not to worry. LKY will be tekan and tiewed and raped by a legion of ghouls and demons who will not even give him time off to eat joss sticks and candle wax.
Where LKY got chance to escape them? They will fuck and rape and tiew that bastard from hell to eternity and back to hell again

At any rate, after LKY die, and his Arseloon son get hooted to pieces with the entire LEE/KWA families, and the collaborators all dangling from under lamp posts, who the fuck care about PAP other
than to catch all that escape the first cull and tie piano wire about the neck to see them dance

It appears the heavens have spoken about whether or not the PAPzis should increase the price of water.

A dry spell won't last forever. A price hike, on the other hand, is like herpes: once you have it, it stays with you forever.

But you have to get sexually involved to get herpes & that is forever, antibiotics can only ease the infection....why didn't they warn the 60% about this...herpes is incurable ( the sexually transmitted kind)....the 'antibiotics' in PIONEER packages & others, will only decreases the symptoms & depresses the infection for a while...stop the 'itch'..soon it gets "itchy" again & the herpes gets full blown again...... ha ha ha , price hike is the same as 'herpes'.... heh heh heh..soon it will get full blown, with 10% GST!! :p

I am more interested in knowing about all the skeletons in his closet. It will only be revealed when LKY is gone & the PAP can no longer hide the secrets.

Will be interesting to see the reaction of the 60%. Many will probably end up at some reservoir:o

 

[chonburifc]

Same thing, own peasants cannot take care liaoz, still want to take care FT shits! Fuck PAP!

All non-shitizens should pay double or triple price for water!

 

[sta1100]

Ours beloved PAP will make any excuses to increase water fees to take in more $$$ not surprise at all.

Just like GST the price increase will help the have-nots
But what I do not understand is the have nots are being hit the hardest like GST....... kind of PAP bullshit
