“I had a unit in my office
which coordinated the
whole of government. This
dominated every other
policy-making. Every other
policy had to bend at the
knees of our water
survival.”
Mr. Lee Kuan Yew Prime Minister of
Singapore (1965 – 1990), at the inaugural
Singapore International Water Week (2008)
Water is top in the national agenda
