They need to forbid this forum!
"The state owns the rainfall". Time stamp 38:21.
Are you trolling WEF videos for provocative statements that can be used to scare people from thinking or changing?
@@RnanknHe's just very proud of it
Perhaps Pomehi thought😢he discovered something ironical Without Understanding that This is a Legal Fact which Applies ONLY to Large Commercial Users or Corporations that Collect large Quantities of Water as a part of their Business Operations.
This law doesn't apply to households who collect rain water for their OWN household use.
Singapore relatively doing well in collecting the rain water in our water catchment areas and directing to our 17 reservoirs in Singapore. 🇸🇬
The identification of real problems and effective solutions are LOCAL and NOT GLOBAL. Consider the possibility that "predetermined problems" are collaboratively fabricated by global institutions (hidden hand), then provide "predetermined solutions" (helping hand) under the veil of urgency.
Out of the 5 people on the stage, 3 are ethnically Indians. It tells a lot about the growing power and influence of Indians in the modern world.
Price hikes
Why the Government announced a slew of price hikes, including a drastic 30% increase in water fees, only after the 2015 general elections and at a time of economic uncertainty for the people.
@martin Another paid comment from a foreign agent.
@@jer2911.L So anyone that supports the opposition are foreign agents? So you want Singapore to become a communist country with no elections like China and Vietnam?
Great discussion and great panel on challenges of water - regulations, policies, innovations, entrepreneurships, research and more.
I wish the anchor was little less dramatic with her body language while talking!
Are you falling for this bullshit ?
Meanwhile, here in Wellington we are facing even more stringent water restrictions to come because of how wasteful (mainly leaks) the water infrastructure is.
Omg you get more rain in NZ than almost anywhere. What a joke your government is. No wonder Jacinda ran away. She couldn't keep up with her own BS
CONGRATULATIONS AND PRAYERS 🙏 BY RAVINDER TALWAR JALANDHAR CITY PUNJAB INDIA
Psychological conditioning for central control and price hikes.
Yup, also called education about how to remedy the destructive impacts of markets. But it seems you want no thought given, no control exercised, and everything is cheap.
@@Rnanknseems like you want to be controlled by elites who bullshit you daily
Monetise and weaponise a resource that’ s critcial to life! State DOES NOT OWN rainfall. God does!!
What makes them discussed about water when no man controls water?? Is this a preplanned agenda??
I like how President Tharman uses these forums to champion for solutions instead of participating in the search for answers. i.e. there is the solution (specifically this solution), we have to work on it (invest in this solution).
River water and sea water: inequality use of economies ❤
In not supporting Tharman to be his successor as Prime Minister, Mr Lee Hsien Loong made the greatest mistake of his tenure. Singapore's future is at greater risk because of this mistake.
Namaste 🙏Johar 🙏🇮🇳💎🤝🙏💐😎🏁
This was incredibly awkward to watch. Trying to articulate how to manage water ‘economically’ reveals just how incompatible it is to combine markets with nature. Perhaps the mistake is to suggest economists have the skills to ‘solve’ water imbalances. Or that they are doing more than acting as guardians of capital in the face of capitaism’s failurel
Ya ya la la bollocks
No concrete content from the young Indian lady. Many words.
Hehe usi g iroby agaibst soneone more intelligent rhan you?
The host is not 😎
Hope the first lady is there with the president.
Satans Minions, look quite like i thought.....Mom and Dad aint proud......they do not know....do they:) but...your mission to gather souls worked...but....you are not creators or protectors......just destroyers...of all living....follow the hollow
No. 1 disrespwct and I leave.
Pap is a joke of a gov
True. WP can make water free for us.
@@BeachBoi1000 Your all know free in general is bad right (free electricity, free education)? But the opposite isn't actually market rate water and electricity etc. it's heavily subsidised essentials, the debate among locals in Singapore these days is regarding subsidies, Hawker food, GST, Bus fare hike, route cancellation etc. very tangible stuff that affects the economy because it is debated by working-class people, not extremist or idealogues, and, their feedback have been taken into consideration, sometimes cringe, sometimes u-turn, sometime ignore. It's not just a flat: gov will do this, you will obey the nanny, just go to work. Edit: I'm not parroting President Tharman's style, I voted for him ok, I didn't spoil my vote or smt smt.
@@isaac1403 I feel the rich poor gap is too huge. Pulling the price up, those left behind are struggling.
Always rain and still increasing price .. olden days we drink rain and well water . Now also can .
@@Humorousguy64 How 6million people drink from well?
