SINGAPORE: Singapore will not need to renew one water agreement with Malaysia which expires next year.

That's because Singapore has ramped up with local water supply with new reservoirs, NEWater and desalinated water.

Environment and Water Resources Minister Yaacob Ibrahim said Singapore will build a second desalination plant over the next few years to ensure reliability in water supply.

Environment & Water Resources Minister, Dr Yaacob Ibrahim, said: "As the production of NEWater and desalinated water are independent of rainfall, they can be used to supplement water stocks in an extended dry spell like the one experienced in February this year, which was the driest February on record." - CNA/vm

Chinese Malaysian have certain amount of Malay Malaysian mentality in them.

Eg. 1. Chinese Malaysian view that without Chinese Malaysian, Sg would not have progress or sucessful if Chinese Malaysian did not take up job in Sg.

2. Chinese Malaysian view that their Chinese language standard is much higher than Sg.

3. Chinese Malaysian view that if there is no Sg, Malaysia would have done better.

4. Chinese Malaysian view that Sg sucess owed it to Malaysia. Malaysia provide to Sg. But no answer even when ask "provide what" ?

5. Chinese Malaysian view that their Hawker food is 10 times better than Sg.
