龍哥對水費起價的看法:
新加坡:由於新加坡人的激烈反應,李顯龍總理說,人們應該“看”水價的上漲。
在星期四(3月2日)的Facebook郵報中,李明說,關稅必須隨著生產水的成本的增加而上漲。
“我們還投資海水淡化,這比以前便宜,但仍然昂貴,我們需要建造更多的海水淡化和脫鹽工廠,”他說。
他重申,政府最近在修訂水價之前於1997年修訂水價。
“許多家庭將獲得額外的U-Save折扣,因此,一室和兩室的HDB家庭將不會看到任何淨增加。對於大多數其他HDB公寓,淨增長只有每月2至S $ 11。李業廣說:「四分之三的業務,水費會每天增加不超過1新元(每月25新元)。」
李先生還強調,新加坡是“世界上最受水緊張的國家之一”,儘管它是一個島嶼。
“我們今天有足夠的水只有因為我們獨立以來的不懈努力,對我們來說,水將永遠是一個戰略資源,是國家安全的事情。
李先生補充說,在這種情況下,需要“正確價格水”。 “然後每次我們打開水龍頭,我們都意識到每個水滴是多麼珍貴,”他說。
“我希望這次公開辯論提醒我們,水是多麼重要和有價值的水,我們如何能夠幫助保存水,使我們在新加坡有足夠的水。
SINGAPORE: Following sharp reactions from Singaporeans, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong has said people should look at the increase in water prices "in perspective".
In a Facebook post on Thursday (Mar 2), PM Lee said tariffs must rise as the cost of producing water has increased.
"We have also invested in desalination, which is cheaper than before but still expensive. We need to build more NEWater and desalination plants," he said.
He reiterated that the Government last revised water prices in 1997, before developing NEWater.
"Many households will get additional U-Save rebates. So 1- and 2-room HDB households will not see any nett increase at all. For most other HDB flats, the nett increase will only be between S$2 to S$11 per month. For three quarters of businesses, water bills will go up by less than a S$1 per day (S$25 per month)," Mr Lee said.
Mr Lee also highlighted that Singapore is "one of the most water-stressed countries in the world" even though it is an island.
"We have enough water today only because of our unremitting efforts since independence. For us, water will always be a strategic resource, and a matter of national security," he said.
Mr Lee added that in this situation, there is a need to "price water properly". "Then every time we turn on the tap, we are conscious of how precious each drop is," he said.
"I hope this public debate reminds us how important and valuable water is, and how we can all help to conserve water, so that we always have enough water in Singapore," PM Lee added. |
