Wonder how Johor can treat its own water sufficient for its need - & don't needed treated water from Singapore - :-
(1) Water sources frequently got contaminated - by industry pollution.
(2) Long period of drought, no rainfall.
(3) Water sources frequently got contaminated - by natural cause eg sea water pollution.

So when a leader fail to honour signed agreement - many mishaps will follow.
Because divine don't favor dishonorable person.

KS Lim , trust we've done enough good deeds for them (remember all those "goodwill gestures") but not appreciated by this current regime under the vintage Old M.
In contrast, this ungrateful Old M and his team are taking full advantage of our kindness and humanity to keep threatening us with those unreasonable and unfounded issues including "3 sens water price" that make "no sense at all" just to disrupt our survival.
Not much we can do now to help them as our own supply of raw water from Johor is also disrupted from this ammonia pollution.
Let's see what the Old M and his Johor MB can do otherwise it's high time for Johor to secede from the federal govt in Putrajaya and seek for independence.

Pher Kim Huat Believe it or not, I think this is the surviving principle of Singapore in helping people even though our neighbour may not know what they are doing. Singapore will be blessed if we are able to help even though it looks like we have overly extended our grace.

KS Lim , yes, S'pore had done many gracious deeds not only to M'sia but also to all our neighbours including mobilisation of our military men & equipments to help those past tsunami diasters in Thailand & Indonesia.
In this current instance in Johor, it's due to their own ammonia pollution which is beyoond us and also affect our own raw water supply that's why nothing much we can do now.
Trust S'pore is always among the first few country to offer and render help to our nieghbours when serious disaster like earthquake, etc strike.

Can restart Hyflux's plant now.

It's a management problem in hyflux. Even you give them the latest technology but lack of the capability to manage. Greed is the word.

Any explanation for increase in ammonia level
Andric Ng
Zul Maidin as the water contamination of this river affecting both Johore and Singapore people, a more professional report is necessary. Why the bursted reservoir was built next to this river? And any approval from government institution?
Do they release ammonia into river on regularly?

"The stoppage of treatment operations at JRWW disrupted its water supply to Singapore and some parts of Johor. Water supply in Singapore is not affected as PUB has stepped up production at the desalination plants and local waterworks to meet demand...."
Now do you see? We may have to tightened our consumption and the cost may be exorbitant, but when push comes to shove, we can produce our own water.
Mahdey is therefore mistaken if he continues to use water as an extortion on SG. So, please talk nicely, neighbourly and constructively if he wants our cooperation on the water trade negotiations.

Johor will ask for more water again and the price should be market rate in Sing $. This is what Mad dog ask for and I think the Sultan will understand our position.
Sharil Bin Saharudin
No. Dont be like Mahdey.
A treaty is a treaty so we will live up to our treaty obligations.

Now we S'poreans can realise how important and crucial to have those long-term planning decades ago to build Deep Tunnel Sewage System (DTSS) to ensure that we have self-suffcient water for our survival and even go beyond to help Johoreans until this ammonia pollution happened in their own river which is beyond our control (btw, what kind of help is their federal govt in Putrajaya or its Johor CM going to provide for Johor ?).
It's also timely to announce our phase 2 DTSS project yesterday for people to understand this well engineered and coordinated projects are indeed essential and necessary for us to spend billions as it impact our survival unless we can live without drinkable water (don't just KPKB unnecessarily here).
Sincere appreciation to all the relevant authority and parties who continue to provide the expertise to execute and complete these projects successfully. Well done !

It is a good time that both country work together to help one another. The 2 counrties leaders should stop behaving like a kids and quarrel over same matters over and over again. At this time, I am sure people are suffering and the leaders should focus more on resolving issues and not trying to score political points.
Terence Ng
U think M so good hearted to solve ammonia issue meh.. M will sacrifice his own people in order to meet his own goal.. ..
Terence Ng
M must be mastermind to instruct his 🐶 dog to pour chemical into river.... Why not happen long time ago. .

Differences aside, looks like Johore and Singapore is intergrally sealed through water. Each has to depend on each other for survival in times of shortage and need.
KS Lim
Is another reminder to Singapore again and it shouldn't come as a surprise. Singapore leaders should target self reliant on water ASAP and not 2060. Next time Singapore may not just hit by D M or other politicians, climate change may just strike us like a thief where our dear Linggui may just dry out, billion investment on the dam infrastruture may just go into halt. By now (if our leaders are far sighted enough), Singapore should'nt be relying much on Linggui water.
