[Sg] - EDMWer asked Gemini AI about water from Johor. Are Sg households subsidizing water cost for Johor Matlanders?

It's obvious Matland is taking advantage of Sg over the unfair water pricing!

Singapore pays Malaysia 3 sen per thousand gallons of raw water from Johor and sells treated water back to Johor at 50 sen per thousand gallons, significantly less than the actual cost of treatment. The real cost to Singapore of treating that water is RM2.40 per thousand gallons, meaning Singapore absorbs a loss of RM1.90 for each thousand gallons sold to Johor.


Here's a breakdown:

• Raw Water Price:
  Singapore pays Malaysia 3 sen (Malaysian cents) per 1,000 gallons of raw water from Johor.
• 
  
• Treated Water Price:
  Singapore sells treated water back to Johor at 50 sen per 1,000 gallons.
  
  
• 
  
• Singapore's Treatment Cost:
  The actual cost for Singapore to treat the water is RM2.40 per 1,000 gallons.
  
  
• 
  
• Absorption of Cost:
  Singapore absorbs the difference, meaning they lose RM1.90 for every thousand gallons sold to Johor.
  
  
• 
  
• Johor's Treatment Cost:
  Johor, in turn, sells the treated water it buys from Singapore to its own citizens at RM3.95 per thousand gallons.
