kind of scary that water-price going up 18% in 2 years. Think about the hawkers who would pay more for washing, your cleaning services, utilities bill for your tenants and you, all these will translate to another gap-up in inflation across the board.

After last month's elections, public transportation, postage, water, COE all huge spiked.

Water is an important resource to keep Humans alive, & Singapore, being a strategic location even in weather terms, do have availability of water resource when combined with our own water reservoirs in Mandai & Johor which our Founding Fathers were smart to make a deal with.

However, TO HAVE CLEAN water, it will take a lot of ENERGY to process it, & in such times of Worldwide turmoil beyond our control that resulted in higher energy & water infrastructural prices.

18% price hike may seem astronomical at 1st look & will have many citizens up in arms.

However, the reality is that the average household water bill per month is between $25 to $50 per month. A hike of up to 18% means only a additional $9/mth which is NOT frightening. It would probably mean just skipping one a Bak Chor Meal at Paya Lebar Quarters mall, but that ONE $9 will be enough to cover PUB expenditures for CLEAN water to each home, leaving NONE behind.

Also, it is NOT a reason to for a food stall to rise its price of $9 to $10.50 over presumption of higher water bill, as food stalls while need water for its soup & cleaning on a larger scale than a household, but with ECONOMY OF SCALE, the final water bill is only 18% rise PER month & NOT per day.

Assuming its water bill is $300/mth - with 18% rise = $354/mth or a mere $1.80/day to serve at minimum 200 customers per day, thus its water usage per customer is 0.009cts/customers. Those who attempt to rise prices unconscionably MUST be avoided.


As ENERGY & material costs are on the rise, perhaps PUB executives can look into cleaner & cheaper energy forms - such as Hydrogen fuel cells & innovative material science for better, cheaper & lasting water infrastructures to be built. No mortal is a genius, thus those executives will HAVE to sit down & discuss with professionals in such fields to find the best solutions than to push for a price hike, even if small as it may become the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back in our National compact.

Ultimately, water is an important resource. It behooves EACH Human to save water & not use it frivolously. None can predict WHEN the NATURAL phenomena of Draught comes.
That's not enough.. For me I'll proposed an increased of 100% for price of water..
Sinkies should just abstained from eating n drinking for an entire day n just breath in fresh air.. This way they'll surely be able to afford the 100% increased in water prices!

Many so called keyboard warriors will jump in, but sadly often for their own loud & often repeated mistaken viewpoints that had been PROVEN BY TIME to be WRONG & WRONG again, more so those whom have an axe to grind against Singapore & Citizens, often over mere PERSONAL Displeasure & would use ANY trick in the book even taking news media OUT OF CONTEXT to support their out of context claims which bears absolutely nothing to REALITIES.

Worse are those FROM overseas or already given up citizenship in Singapore but living in misery & as it is said, misery loves company, pretending to be citizens to gain support.

Thus may no hardworking citizens with RESPONSIBILITIES to loved ones, family & dear friends, simply support their misaligned & dangerous views to our robust society & civilization WITHOUT fact checking ALWAYS, & thus NO need to live in fear of fake news or fake views. only to correct them if need be or the time to do so.

Ultimately, the often used chicken wing & whole chicken metaphor cannot be use for every circumstances, more so in governance. The ELECTED govt has NO money at all. Any money it gains came from REVENUES - personal taxes as well as PORT custom duties as we are a strategically located point on Earth where all trade meets. So too many, many more other avenues.

The Elected govt have great responsibilities, & one of them is to RE-DISTRIBUTE WEALTH to everyone, so as to leave NO one behind. We are a SOCIAL DEMOCRACY, whereby Elected Legislators have to sit down, discuss, debate & find solutions to meet the NEEDS of citizens, & NOT what any single individual DESIRES.

In times of need as well as social change for citizens to adapt to a BRUTAL World caused by circumstances beyond our control, our Elected govt will have to do what it NEEDS to cushion blows, even borrowing from future social expenditure to save the present, but fortunately in this case, there is no major need to, as the seemingly astronomical price hikes are only a few dollars per month when REALISTICALLY broken down with FACTS. But that FEW DOLLARS will go a LONG WAY to sustain our Singapore Civilization WAY OF LIFE - of CLEAN water & sustainability for innocent generations to come, as our Founding & Forefathers had done for us.

For profiteers whom intend to make use of this period of necessary hikes for sustainability, they WILL be found out. Already, govt committees had been reconvened to look into such matters. The committee may seem small, but NEVER, EVER DOUBT the ability of our govt. During the COV id19 pandemic era, many in thousands had been roped in to ensure that anti - COV rules were adhered to, even as employees in establishments. So too can the same be done in these difficult but not unsurmountable time by being gainfully employed.

The best supporter of check & balances over profiteers is oneself. Knowledge is power. Knowing the basic costs of products & services in comparison with others will make one realize if one is being cheated or not, & the internet was built for this, to spread knowledge to others so that others may not fall into the same predicament, & behooves biz entrepreneurs big or small, to behave responsibly or else, suffer the consequences of closing down.
