"Singapore has to work harder at cutting down energy usage," said the National Development Minister Man Bow Tan. Singapore has scored relatively well on the water and land usage fronts but not on the energy side. He added that the government would definitely take actions to improve the situation. Singaporeans, as consumers also have to contribute their part into understanding the amount of energy that their various appliances use up, and opt for energy-saving versions instead. Certainly, there are challenges as Singapore seeks to cut down on its energy usage. Upfront costs may be a bit higher but it is a must to spend.
Personal views: With respect to water, we have done very well: How do we save water? How do we make sure that water is reused and recycled? On land, we have also done rather well- better utilisation of land. Therefore, I am sure that the energy side will also improve, so long as each Singaporean individuals contribute.
