This audacious admission has left many questioning the ethics and sustainability of Singapore's economic practices. With a seemingly unabashed tone, she also disclosed that Singapore imports water from Malaysia, purifies it, and sells it back to Malaysia."We even buy our water, we buy water from Malaysia, we buy crude water from Malaysia, we desalinate them, we purify it and we sell it back to Malaysia.

She elaborated on this practice, stating, "So you know, our car, all our cars have a lifespan of 10 years. After that, we either scrap it or we resell it. We sell it to places like Indonesia, Ghana, we sell it to Nigeria, and all this. So these are the people that will come and buy our 10 year car. What they do is, they modify it. You drive on the left hand, right? Right, so but ours is on the right hand. So they purchase this 10 year car, right? With a lifespan of 10 years, they buy this car and they modify it and they sell it super expensive in your country."
