You are correct that there have been tense moments in the history of Singapore-Malaysia relations over water issues. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, during Mahathir Mohamad’s first term as Prime Minister of Malaysia, there were significant disputes over the price of water supplied to Singapore. During these disputes, Singapore’s founding Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew did make strong statements emphasizing the critical importance of water to Singapore’s survival. He indicated that Singapore would take all necessary measures to ensure its water supply, including military action if necessary. However, these statements were more about underscoring the seriousness of the issue rather than an explicit threat of war. Both countries have since managed to navigate these tensions through diplomatic channels and have continued to honor the 1961 and 1962 water agreements. 10:16
In addition to being rich, another advantage of Singapore is its large amount of rain. This video reminds me of another Nation with a large agricultural sector but little water in its nation-Israel. They are doing wonderful things also.
The other place you talked about isn't doing wonderful things elsewhere. And I bet any developed nation could do the same if they got billions and billions of American tax payers money.
Lets not lump us with the nation that shall not be name. Singapore has the fortune and hopefully continues to developed without ever committing atrocities.
There are still people in a neighbouring country who are still waiting for the water agreement to expire in 2061. After that they plan to squeeze Singapore.😂😂😂
@@JonKhoo76 From my own observation Singapore is already self-sufficient in water. That's why when the first agreement ended in 2011, Singapore didn't even bother to renew it.
We are aware. Why else are we spending so much on creating our own water catchment areas and desalination plants? And I’m sure we will negotiate brand new treaty that is win win for Malaysia too.
@@JonKhoo76 which was sign in an agreement between 2 countries. And which include the option to revise the price. But as you may know Jon, nothing happened. Why didn't revise the price when the option is given? Feeling sour that the price is to cheap? Why didn't revise the price? Read up more to know your history why "they forgot" to revise the price which was included in the agreement.
@@Khairul-wg1km it’s a neutral observation, i don’t disparage either side. At the end of the day, all such treaties are quid pro quo and decided at levels way above where we are.
There were 49 infantry battalions-21 Indian, 13 British, six Australian, four Indian States Forces assigned to airfield defence, three Straits Settlements Volunteer Force, and two Malayan. In addition, there were two British machine-gun battalions, one Australian, and a British reconnaissance battalion serving in Singapore. Odd that the video would order it British, Australian, and Indian when the bulk of the army serving in Singapore against Japan were Indian. The contribution of India is regularly looked over with stuff like this.
@@forrestgump865 Indians did serve willingly in the Indian National Army. The irony is that Singapore keeps a war memorial that commemorates the INA, which fought the British in WW2, in the very centre of the city. The Brits had the original INA monument that stood on the same spot demolished after the war, but it was resurrected. There are two sides to every coin.

The waste recycling technology actually is modeled after the system used in Orange County, California, which has the world leader in pioneering this technology. They consulted with Singapore government to assist them in building theirs. The Lee Kuan Yew Water Prize 2014 was awarded to The Orange County Water District in California for there many innovations. Orange County, California is still the world’s largest recycler of waste water. They are a sister county to Los Angeles and they are currently providing technical assistance to help Los Angeles construct a similar system. When this project is finished Los Angeles will then become the world’s largest recycler of waste water.

@@kamalghaz The fights here refer to the political fights, not war. Fights might be too strong a word but it was very much at the top of the agenda for Singapore-Malaysia relations, especially during Mahatir's first term as PM. The official correspondence released showed that there were serious discussions about the price of water. The only thing was that both sides were practical and cooperated on many issues while having these water fights.
@khairuljaffar5979 agree. There might be tense discussions on water agreement but it never goes beyond on using water as weapon. War or fight is a wrong word here

Is this a joke? Singapore is a wealthy coastal city in the tropical zone and it’s next to a friendly country that’s abundant in water. This is like making an inspirational video about how the Americans solved their Starbucks latte shortages.
Malaysia is not as friendly to Singapore as you think. Sure, Singapore is on good terms with the sultanate of Johore, but the federal government of Malaysia, depending on which political party is in power, can be agonistic, hostile or friendly with under-table benefits expected.
Sure, a "friendly" country that's already threatened to cut off said water supply multiple times (the most recent just 5-6 years ago), and with the water deal to officially expire in less than 40 years despite demand increasing exponentially. Having your country's entire very survival dependent on the whims of another is not and never will be a "friendly" and tenable situation.
If Malaysia is indeed a friendly country, Singapore will still be obtaining cheap water from them for eternity, instead of investing millions to become self-sufficient. Did you even watch the video?
@@huaiwei I, for one, am happy that the second water supply treaty will be expiring soon. Singaporeans have been subsiding Malaysian/ Johoreans portable water for far too long and at great expense. Ps: for those who do not know the situation - Malaysia sells raw water to Singapore, but Singapore filters and treats the water and resells the water back to Malaysia at cost. Singaporeans have been subsidizing the water treatment process for the duration of both water treaties. Due to the fact Singapore's PUB is selling water to Singapore households and businesses at a profit, portable water is actually cheaper in Malaysia compared to Singapore.

U mean we can drink sea water or unfiltered water? 😅
Singapore is a financial hub. It has no GDP. It’s unsustainable. It’s the latest hotspot in finance and tax shelter.
What stops other countries from doing the same?
But they are considered neutral in Asia and that's a benefit not being too China leaning or too American leaning.
The country has only gotten better and more wealthy for several decades now. How is that unsustainable?
And financial services don't contribute to GDP? Where did you learn that?
So the organisation that manages my pension money is a complete wast of time then? What do you suggest instead - bitcoin, gambling?
"Indians forces'....😂🤣😅😆
Yea the Indian forces helped. Sadly Singaporeans are not as grateful.
