Singapore gomen so rich wanna earn profit in such a way? Come on la bro.
last time yes, MY's water is a must for SG. Now, SG can produce water directly from the sea.
This simply shows you are ignoring the facts. Then by your means how does singapore Government earn their money then? Tax is one, other than that?
Singapore purchase water from Malaysia for 3cent per 1000 gallon , and sells it to their citizen for $1.13 singaporean dollar per 1000 gallon, it's almost 100 times the purchase cost. Deducting the treatment cost, that would give them 50 times of profit per 1000 gallon of water which is a necessity for everyone in the country.
Please topic starter, before you start a debate, state proper point and facts.
I'm very curious as to what other method your Singapore Government earn their money until they are 'rich'.
