The Johor state government has asked that the issue of the price of raw water supplied to Singapore becomes part of the agenda for discussions in the forth-coming joint meeting between the two
countries.
Chairman of the State Public Works, Rural and Regional Development Committee Datuk Ir Hasni Mohammad said Johor wanted the talks on the price of raw water supplied to Singapore to begin immediately.
According to agreements signed in 1961 and 1962, Singapore's Public Utilities Board (PUB) would buy raw water from Johor at the rate of three sen every 1,000 gallons.
Singapore on the other hand would sell treated water to Johor at the price of 50 sen for every 1,000 gallons. Full story
