The public sector is used both as an investor and as a catalyst for economic development and innovation The government of Singapore has two sovereign wealth funds Temasek Holdings and GIC Private Limited which are used to manage the country's reserves.

The history of common water supply in Singapore began with the construction of the MacRitchie Reservoir which was built by the British in 1866 The Lower Peirce Reservoir and the Upper Seletar Reservoir were completed in 1913 and 1949 respectively in order to supply the rapidly modernising colonial city with sufficient water In 1927 the municipal leadership of Singapore and Sultan Ibrahim of the state and territories of Johor in neighboring Malaya signed an agreement that allowed Singapore to rent land in Johor and use its water for free The Municipal Water Department under David J Murnane began importing raw water from Gunong Pulai in 1927 and filtered water on 31 December 1929 The water filtration and pipeline capacity from Gunong Pulai was doubled in 1939. Another pipeline was built to return a smaller quantity of treated water to Johor.[citation needed] During the Battle of Singapore in 1942 the Causeway that links Singapore with Malaya and that carries the pipeline was blown up by retreating British troops thus unintentionally destroying the pipeline which left Singapore with water reserves that could last at most two weeks. According to Lee Kuan Yew this was one of his motives to envision water self-sufficiency for Singapore later when he became the city-state's Prime Minister, Singapore has declared that it will be water self-sufficient by the time its 1961 long-term water supply agreement with Malaysia expires in 2061 However according to official forecasts water demand in Singapore is expected to double from 380 to 760 million gallons per day between 2010 and 2060 The increase is expected to come primarily from non-domestic water use which accounted for 55% of water demand in 2010 and is expected to account for 70% of demand in 2060 By that time water demand is expected to be met by reclaimed water at the tune of 50% and by desalination accounting for 30% compared to only 20% supplied by internal catchments, Transparency Light Rail Transit (LRT). 2.1 Early career The average amount of time people spend commuting with public transit in Singapore for example to and from work on a weekday is 84 min 25% of public transit riders ride for more than 2 hours every day The average amount of time people wait at a stop or station for public transit is 12 min while 11% of riders wait for over 20 minutes on average every day The average distance people usually ride in a single trip with public transit is 7.3 km while 16% travel for over 12 km in a single direction. Raffles was still the Lieutenant-Governor of Bencoolen when he returned Raffles started more reforms that were by now almost trademarks of his rule over the colonies Forced labour was abolished when he first arrived and he declared Bencoolen a free port as well The currency was regulated and as he had an excess of out-of-work civil servants they formed committees to advise him on the daily running of the colony However Bencoolen was not as self-sufficient as Singapore The area was poor and disease-ridden: the first reports from the committees reflected very poorly upon the condition of the colony Unlike the salutary neglect Raffles granted upon Singapore he delayed European-inspired reforms emphasizing only the cultivation of whatever land was available. Singapore is ranked first globally in 2005 in terms of containerised traffic with 23.2 million Twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) handled High growth in containerised traffic has seen the port overtaking Hong Kong since the first quarter of 2005 and has led the race ever since with an estimated 19,335 kTEUs handled in the year up to October compared to 18,640 kTEUs handled in Hong Kong in the same period A rise in regional traffic consolidating the port's position in Southeast Asia and increases in transshipment traffic using the strategic East Asia-Europe route via Singapore helped the port to emerge tops at the end of the year a title it had not held since overtaking Hong Kong once in 1998. Raffles was pleased with the fact that Singapore had grown exponentially in such a short period of time The colony was a bustling hub of trade and economic activity Even so Farquhar's administration was deemed unsatisfactory for example allowing merchants to encroach on government areas permitted vices such as gambling and toleration of the slave trade.:38 in response Raffles instituted new policies and set up a committee headed by the colony's engineer Philip Jackson to draw up a plan now known as the Jackson Plan or Raffles Town Plan based on instructions by Raffles, In 1941 the Imperial Japanese Army had 51 divisions and various special-purpose artillery cavalry anti-aircraft and armored units with a total of 1,700,000 men At the beginning of the Second World War most of the Japanese Army (27 divisions) was stationed in China A further 13 divisions defended the Mongolian border due to concerns about a possible attack by the Soviet Union. From 1942 soldiers were sent to Hong Kong (23rd Army) the Philippines (14th Army) Thailand (15th Army) Burma (15th Army) Dutch East Indies (16th Army) and Malaya (25th Army) by 1945 there were 5.5 million men in the Imperial Japanese Army, Singapore's well known gardens include the Singapore Botanic Gardens a 150-year-old tropical garden and Singapore's first UNESCO World Heritage Site and Gardens by the Bay a popular tourist attraction. .

Therefore school fees in public schools are heavily subsidised There is no school fee for 6 years of compulsory education in primary school although students still need to pay standard miscellaneous fees of $6.50 per month. Moreover schools may optionally charge second-tier miscellaneous fees of up to the maximum of $6.50 per month.
