Decades of sustained, methodical development of Singapore’s water policies has its many players, from multi-national corporations to international organisations, all of whom have performed a crucial role. During the dialogue, Mr Lee acknowledged their contributions, and in a pay-it-forward move, Singapore now wants to share its expertise with other countries facing water shortages.
"We did not do this by ourselves. We climbed on other people’s shoulders. We brought this [technology] together and improved on them. We’re happy to have people climb on our shoulders, whether they are from the Middle East, China, India, whatever. It’s a collaborative effort. The world will need this because what we have assumed was limitless — endless supplies of water — is not so. We’ve found it not to be so, and that we’ve got a way out of it.” -MM Lee
