BBC News: Singapore teaches India about water purification
Posted by max in Singapore News on July 7th, 2010
India is enjoying a much better monsoon this year, with rains expected to help boost output of grain and oilseeds.
It is also expected to help inflation which has triggered widespread protests. But that doesn’t mean that India’s water issues are gone.
The World Bank has warned that unless something is done, India’s fresh water supplies could be used up by 2050. Singapore faced the same problem, but it has found a solution and the view is that India can also use the same technology.

Singapore’s Economy Begins to Stir
Posted by max in Singapore News on June 2nd, 2009
I met some visitors from the French government last week, who were visiting some of the facilities at Fusionopolis (where our office is). They were saying that the Signaproe government was painting a very rosy picture of the economy and it was difficult to know what was the real situation.

An excert from a recent article on the economy:
“The recession hasn’t diminished Singapore’s zeal to make the city a science and technology hub. The government is pushing ahead with plans for three new universities, including one linked to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It has inked a deal with Nissan (NasdaqCM:NSANY – News) and Renault to test electric cars here. It’s providing a $300 million loan to memory-chip maker Micron Technology (mu.) to upgrade a factory. And it has encouraged big drugmakers such as Abbott Laboratories (abt.), Novartis (NYSE:NVS – News), and GlaxoSmithKline (gsk.) to set up research centers at Biopolis, a government-funded biotech park.”
