Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad says Singapore cannot be paying 3 sen per 1,000 gallons of water perpetually.
“To go to the World Court, you must have agreement from both parties,” he told reporters after officiating the National Landscape Day 2019 celebration at the Putrajaya Botanical Gardens today. “I want to know whether in the year 2060 it is still going to be 3 sen per 1,000 gallons and if Singapore will be selling the water at a very high price,” he said.
Mahathir had urged the Johor government last week to be more vocal about the issues they are facing, specifically in relation to the “ridiculously cheap” price Singapore is paying for the raw water. He said the water agreement is not about which country is richer or poorer, and added that Singapore’s longstanding position has been that neither side can unilaterally change the terms of the deal.
