river water is never clean....the raw water gets transported to s'pore...undergoes treatment here before it gets sold back to them...Originally posted by sbst275:I mean the quality of the water... BTW, it is also from Skudai, Pulai rivers -
They claim they are not going to buy water from us... Because they have their treatment plant, but JB ppl are doubtful whether their treated water would be cleanOriginally posted by poon cho tang:river water is never clean....the raw water gets transported to s'pore...undergoes treatment here before it gets sold back to them... -
providing at what price is the problem.

Another thing is these ppl use those rivers to bath, do their 'business'Originally posted by sbst275:They claim they are not going to buy water from us... Because they have their treatment plant, but JB ppl are doubtful whether their treated water would be clean
As for price, we shall see to the coming meeting -
that's the cruxOriginally posted by TehJarVu:providing at what price is the problem. -
But then, maybe in 10 yrs time, we dun need to rely on them anymore... All the better

Talking abt Malaysia having their own treatment plant, it has caused unhappiness as water quality is worst than Singapore

well there is pro and con

Is just water and they have so much of it which they dun treat and can't use all of it anyway and if they didn't sell the excess to us it would have flow into the sea.
case of a small issue blown big by irresponsible person to stoke sentiments between our peoples.
I'm glad this thing is over and done with. -
But there are already reports that Johor may have scare of water due to improper control of the riverOriginally posted by KumSioJui:Is just water and they have so much of it which they dun treat and can't use all of it anyway and if they didn't sell the excess to us it would have flow into the sea.

actually is as what you say lor, improper control of the river. If you recall at one time they suggested Pahang as a replacement site for new water source but it was remote and undeveloped hinting that we would be the main sponsor for the site in Pahang which we of course didn't want as we already spent abt over 1 billion to build up the johore site.Originally posted by sbst275:But there are already reports that Johor may have scare of water due to improper control of the river
So actually they have a lot of water resources if they implement the correct infrastructure. -
I thought Johor already stop selling water to SG already? Forget it, I rather drink newater. We will not rely heavily on Malaysia. Start to increase our water sources.Originally posted by sbst275:Read from today's ZB,
