  "The lack of subsidies and incentives from the Government for businesses and households to switch to solar power, unlike the case in Germany or the United States."
  
  "Singapore has a philosophy of not subsidising or subsidising very little. So, it's very hard to make use of technologies and programmes that need more incentives to happen."
  
  While many developed countries are working hard towards clean energy and conservation, Singapore is still very lacking in providing incentive to encourage the public to switch to clean energy. [/url]
