S’pore water deal being reviewed


KUALA LUMPUR: The government is reviewing the existing agreement on raw water from Sungai Johor that has been sold to Singapore at three sen (S$0.01) per 1,000 gallons since 1962, says Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof.

Fadillah, who is also Energy Transition and Water Transformation Minister, made this statement in response to former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s comment that over 61 years (1962-2023), the water deal had amounted to a significant sum seen as a subsidy to Singapore.
