Ministry of Foreign Affairs Paying for water from Malaysia
Singapore draws 250 million gallons of water a day and pays 3 sen per 1,000 gallons. The annual amount that Singapore pays to Malaysia is 250,000 X .03 X 365 = RM 2.7 million or $912,000. 

Malaysia is asking for the price to be revised to 50 sens. If Singapore agrees, the total amount will be RM 45.6 million or $15 million a year. 

It will be the cost of 5 MRT train coaches (at $3 million per coach). Each train with 6 coaches will pay for slightly more than 1 year supply of water at the rate asked by Malaysia.
