Will this ever occur?

That Johor will end up begging us for NEwater technology to curb their water shortages that is getting rampant?

are you serious?
the CEO of Hyflux, oliver lum, is a malaysian.
anyway i dont think reverse osmosis is exclusive to Hyflux. -
Yes... North Western Johor is now experiencing water shortageOriginally posted by dragg:are you serious?

Because of poor sewage and river control
Thought I remembered Mahathir said "MY will provide SG water till they cannot do so", I guess it is going to be opp

there are many companies in malaysia with water treatment knowledge. though none are as big and as efficient as hyflux.

Yes they have...Originally posted by dragg:there are many companies in malaysia with water treatment knowledge. though none are as big and as efficient as hyflux.
But, they lack skills of doing reverse osmossis or desalinsation.. Because they felt no need what, can even provide SG with water... -
Beg us, yeah, right.

It is highly unlikely Malaysia even needs to knock on our door for this.
Reverse osmosis has been a standard desalination process on naval and some commercial vessels since the 1990s. It's nothing new.
The only catch is that it is an expensive process to duplicate. -

It is call retribution, laugh at us for that toilet water, so now it is pay back timeOriginally posted by ditzy:You don't seem to like Malaysians very much hor? Nah, they have poor water control.. -
there r more than 7500 desalination
plants worldwide. we got 1.....
don't gloat over olivia lum's 'purchased'
technology..
not olivia lum's perceived.. "sg-rocket science"
just google desalination. lots of big contractors
ready to go.. -

Malaysian politics is sometimes childish. Their sarcasm is also at the level of kumpung humour, which we also have 'difficulty' comprehending at times.Originally posted by sbst275:But they have never thought what they laughed at us for drinking toilet water, would be in their lives
In short, whatever scorn they pour on us, we will eventually have the last laugh. -

there's a whole series of huge plants
along the Californian coastline
but the 'biggest one in the southern' hemisphere (??)
is scheduled to complete Oct this yr in perth-
http://www.news.com.au/story/0,10117,12855305-421,00.html
A Multiplex and Degremont joint venture would build a seawater desalination plant in the southern suburb of Kwinana, boosting the city's water supply by 45 gigalitres a year, Premier Geoff Gallop said.
The cost of the plant had increased by $41 million to $387 million since the project was announced in July 2004.
The plant was expected to be completed by October next year, becoming the biggest single source feeding into Perth's water supply system.
The WA Water Corporation-owned facility would be powered by renewable energy, with a wind farm the most likely source, Dr Gallop said.
powered by the wind.. now dats cool -

d Saudis too have been at this a long time..
they got 36 plants, some of which produce electricity as well..
"The plants, which also produce electricity as well as drinking water from sea water, will push to 36 the total number of desalination facilities in the kingdom, the world's largest producer of desalinated water, Arab News said."
"The desert kingdom has scarce fresh water resources and contributes 30 percent of global desalination output. The (current)30 desalination plants pump almost 600 million gallons (some 2.27 billion litres) of water daily through nearly 2,000 miles (3,200 kilometers) of pipeline, meeting 70 percent of Saudi needs for drinking water."

if they stop selling water to sg they will have enough for themselves.Originally posted by sbst275:That Johor will end up begging us for NEwater technology to curb their water shortages that is getting rampant? -
Yeap...Originally posted by crazy monkey:if they stop selling water to sg they will have enough for themselves.
We have sufficent water for ourselves esp if we all conserve our precious water -
They have more than enough water for all, IN THE RIVERS. Their problem is collection and distribution.Originally posted by crazy monkey:if they stop selling water to sg they will have enough for themselves.
If they use the proceeds from selling water to singapore to upgrade existing water distribution network and build new ones to new towns and villages, they can have water to bath 10 times a day.
But money is spent elseway, plus pollution, leakages and wastages,....its a matter of time they have the water problem in johore as in klang area.
Singapore has nothing to do with that. -

The river can provide lots of water wo, just that it is polluted
Eventually, many parts of Johor shortage of water... They dun wanna buy PUB water anymore, say they ka ki zho.... But many said no use, inefficient -
