Millions die of water-related diseases. These include those under five, who could have a bright future. Does anyone care about them? Are we doing enough?

I have attended the Asia Pacific Youth Water Forum. We were told how Singapore has progressed and how it is an essential to have clean drinkable water.

This should be common knowledge to us, Singaporeans. We are being taught the different methods of water conservation since a young age, but how often do we implement them?

Everything that Singapore has achieved is done by Government. However, we, the youths, are taking everything for granted. We are not caring about the future, not doing our part in making the world a better place. Is it because everyone believes that the world is really ending as shown in the movie 2012?
