"It's a rather proud feeling
I get when I'm chatting
with a friend from half way
across the world and he or she says, hey,
so Singapore's working on this huge water
treatment plant project in the Middle East?
It's not so much the specific Singapore
company that matters," says Melanie,
"but that the company represents Singapore
and how we are making waves."
An understanding of how precious
water is was instilled in Melanie when she
was a young girl. At her primary school,
there was a little pond the kids liked to hang around during recess. The pond had a big
rock with the inscription 'yin shui si yuan'.
This Chinese idiom literally means: when
you drink the water, think of the source.
