Water conflicts between Malaysia and Singapore

Both Singapore and Malaysia have a conflict over water supplies ever since Singapore was separated from Malaysia in 1965.[1]

To ensure sufficient water supply in the rapidly modernising colonial city of Singapore during the 1900s.

In 1910, the municipal leadership of Singapore and Sultan Ibrahim of the state and territories of Johor in neighbouring Malaya signed an agreement that allowed Singapore to rent land in Johor and use its water for free.

The Municipal Water Department of Singapore, under David J. Murnane, began importing raw water from Gunong Pulai in 1927 and filtered water on 31 December 1929. Since then, several water agreements had been signed between two countries.
