SINGAPORE: The government has formed a committee to study the energy use in each sector in Singapore.

Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew was engaged in a discussion after delivering a speech on "Singapore in the 21st century" at a Nanyang Technological University forum on Thursday.

In response to a student's question on climate change, Mr Lee said, "We just had a Cabinet paper to discuss energy intensity. There's a committee that looks into how much energy is used by each particular sector.

"It is in our interest to do our utmost to keep the use of energy efficient. I really do not know how the outcome will be. I believe it's going to be a difficult problem for everybody." - CNA/ac
