Singapore and Malaysia have a long standing conflicts over water supply. In 1961, Singapore signed a water agreement with the Federation of Malaya. The agreement was that water would be sold at the price of 3 cents per 1,000 gallons to Singapore. The agreement was to be valid for 100 years, meaning it would expire in 2061.
Most of Singapore's water comes from Malaysia.
The Malaysian government has stated that the agreement was signed during a different time and that the price should increase. They cite an example of water sold from China to Hong Kong in the past, which was approximately $8 per 1,000 gallons.
