Catch the all new third season of our edutainment podcast that explores the stories Singapore never taught you in school. This week, we ask what Singapore would have done if Malaysia turned off the tap. For decades, our water depended on a neighbour, and every disagreement carried a risk. We trace how Singapore fought its way out of that corner, from tense water agreements to NEWater.
