Dr Kanwaljit Soin asked the Minister for the Environment what is the sulphur content of fuel oil used in power plants in Singapore and whether there are plans to further reduce the percentage of sulphur.

Mr Mah Bow Tan: The sulphur content of the fuel used by our power stations is limited to 2% by weight.

There are no plans to reduce the percentage of sulphur in the fuel as the current levels of sulphur dioxide in Singapore are within international safety standards.

However, my Ministry will continue to monitor the situation.
