I grew up in Singapore learning that we are a nation with virtually no natural resources, and that we’ll be in deep shit if Malaysia turns off its taps, for we rely heavily on our neighbour for water.

While other countries have waterfalls, rivers, lakes, springs, and whatever, we have to dump in truckloads of money to firstly buy (and process) water, and then come up with NEWater and build those desalination plants.

Now, you’re organising a WATER FESTIVAL. I guess it’s perfectly fine if the event is held at the beach or by the Singapore River. Please tell me they are not using potable tap water.
