Singapore - Thanks To Malaysia, Now Our Water Industry Is Worth $9 Billion

[shOUTloud]

The Indonesian threat will have to be countered by importing LNG, more renewable energy and maybe recycling our farts like Newater.

Singapore is well-prepared for this and I will put up a new thread about our LNG projects.

malaysia are stupid, they should invade singapore and get their money.

Oh, america say NO, oh too bad, shit happens. Too bad for them. They dun know how to kowtow to america.

Pay more for shit water........let's celebrate!

 

[Cestbon]

SG if can collect 70% rain water will not even need new water and desalination water plant.

 

[canloh]

actually if we can get rid of 1 million people in sg, there should be enough water for the remaining pop.

 

[johnny333]

It is the Singapore water-related industries that benefited not the Singapore government. It was the Singapore government's impetus that started it, initially due to our needs. Certainly the government will gain from it in many ways indirectly but that is a different story.

I doubt any local indusrty could succeed without gov't backing. For example you need financing, contacts, etc . I doubt "lesser mortals" have access to this

So the only question is how many elites have their finger in the pie

I remember that even when the population was less than 5 million, the PAP made locals pay plenty for water. The lame excuse LHL made for high water prices was to avoid people wasting water from using their Jacuzzi

This was before LHL made his famous mee siam w/o the hum remark

Hyflux will not survive without gov support and money. Tax payer money use to run Hyflux.

 

[roadrunner]

and we end up dring newater which is longkang chiu and all the urine and shit water.

That is the least of your worries, the amount of estrogen in the water should be checked & filtered out

 

[Psycho]

This s great news to all singaporean....

 

[Kuailan]

We have been threaten every time if there's a dispute
"cut water supply by our neighbours''

Our smart papaya gahmen today has 17 reservoirs all over Sickapoor
so that we have enough water for the whole Sickapoor
and 3 desalination plants around. THis was purchased by than Mr. Woody
who visit and tour Florida USA..

The Barage is the brain child of our oldman, the Orchard rd flood was caused
by hightide and floodgate were not opened at the Barage, if any of our men in
white ever comment on the Barage that causes the flood I am sure he will be fired!

get your facts right bro. the estrogen is the least of our worries. Mad cow's disease and prions are the problem and no country has been able to filter it out. It cannot be destroyed by heat or chemicals or filtered. go to blood bank to donate, tell them you stay in UK for > 6 mths and they would tell you to get lost as your blood i probably contaminated. No country's hea;th authorties except sinkieland has given any assurance that recycled water is safe to drink.
safe, my foot!!!! the PUB engineers themselves probably drinking mineral water. 10 years later how to regret??? probably mad or senile. in life nothing beats nature or natural water or food.

Matland screwed themselves. Hylflux boss Olivia Lum is Malaysian and her company is one of the market leader in Water recycling.

I understand she's still single. Earn so much for what? If only we knew each other .................

If you have dealt with the government before as I had, you should be aware that any new initiatives to kick start a fledgeling industry that they wish to see flourish in Singapore will have funds set aside to aid local companies who wants to get involve. Any entrepreneur before he invests in a government-back project wants to ensure that it is worth investing. The government's role is to help and assist such companies in whatever way they can to encourage them in order their objectives were met.

I will not want to go into details but if you really wish to know,just go to NEA's website where they tell you which projects will get funds (seed money) but they will require you to set up a proposal on how to achieve their targets. One example I give, the government wants to reduce the amount of garbage collected every year. If you have an idea how to go about it, then make a proposal and you will get the fundings payable over a period of time.

Or, HDB is keen to install LED lights in HDB flats and etc and etc. The funds you receive in most cases will have to be repaid. The initial investment made by the government has to be recovered.

Exactly! Turn a problem into a money making solution. Why should anyone quarrel with that beats me.
