I just watched SIWW MD, Michael Toh’s interview about Singapore’s increased and consistent investment in next generation water technology as well as a quick preview on SIWW 2012. Michael talks about how Singapore embraces and welcomes new ideas and its ambition to “mimic nature” in how it treats and manages water. Our friend, Tom Freyberg, editor of Water and Wastewater International rather …
This week I’ve been wondering about the reasons behind our company’s enduring success this side of the world. We’re approaching 90 years in Singapore, more than 80 in Hong Kong, almost 50 in Thailand, more than 20 in Vietnam…the list goes on. I think part of the reason actually comes down to our core values and how we do business — there’s …
How can we enroll the next generation of Singaporeans to understand the importance of water? What better way than giving the next generation of Singapore’s media industry the opportunity to learn and share their experiences and thoughts from key events at Singapore International Water Week? That’s exactly what media and communications students from Singapore Polytechnic …
I had the good fortune this afternoon, along with my Executive Vice President, Ralph Eberts, to meet three of Uganda’s water leaders. The traveling party are from the country’s National Water and Sewerage Corporation (NWSC), and together they have helped transform a utility reportedly facing collapse due to mismanagement to a profit making organisation that is a national …
This week is about making connections. What may seem as an incidental encounter to you, could be life changing for others. Every delegate has a real opportunity to influence and make a new productive connection. Our industry needs these partnerships and dynamics. And what reminded me? A story about a pencil. I first got to …
Do you remember they found water on the moon last year? We even blogged about here last year. Well, our friend Sahana Singh at Asian Water shared a creative video that levers this quirky news story as a way to point out some fundamental issues. Sahana’s video is here below. Good way to spend 3 …
Just so everything doesn’t get too serious. Please keep your inner filters (no pun intended!) on during SIWW. I present to you, THE CHLORINATOR, and I challenge you to out-kitsch me!
I bumped into Godart van Gendt, MD of memsys, leaving the SIWW 2011 media briefing just as some additional equipment for his pilot plant was being delivered. I was lucky enough to sit at a table with him for lunch earlier this year when he was explaining how he was about to set-up a pilot plant at …
After a few words with my taxi driver, it was down to business. The media briefing focused on a new element this year: TechXchange, which our technology leader Cindy Wallis-Lage will help moderate on Monday 4 July. Five budding researchers were on hand to answer questions and Elaine Quek, Manager, Technology & Water Quality Office presented …
Singapore International Water Week (SIWW) is back without doubt. I’m no longer the rookie this year and am without doubt looking forward to learning more the importance of water for Singapore and the rest of the world next week. One big personal difference this year, is that I found myself singing Singapore’s praise and educating Mr Hashid, …
