Name: Yoka Makkink on Jun 11, 2011Comments: Bukit Brown is not only a cemetery valuable for local material history but a place which holds many irreplaceable, majestic trees which provide feeding and resting places for a great variety of birds and other creatures. The cemetery is one of the very few places in Singapore where we have nature that has not been interfered with that much, and where we can feel a connection with Mother Earth. Let us treasure old parks as the assets which distinguish Singapore from places like Dubai for instance where these parks can't develop without a great deal of long term human interference. For the whole of Singapore, from a flooding perspective, the importance of maintaining large areas, such as Bukit Brown cemetery, not covered by concrete can't be overemphasised.Flag

Name: Michael Herzfeld on Jun 11, 2011Comments: I understand the need for housing, which is a fundamnetal right and expectation of people everywhere in the world, and hope that a creative and constructive solution can be found to allow both the provision of sufficient housing for Singapore's people and the preservation of this significant monument. There are many examples globally of the incorporation of old monuments in newer architectural projects.Flag

Name: Dr Danny G Tan on Jun 11, 2011Comments: I agree that land-scarce Singapore needs to be more prudent with land-use. But I disagree with URA's reply on 11 June 2011. They insist that the cemetery has to go, but they didn't even bother to discuss ways of 'preserving' what they intend to bulldoze. It is as if they are confident that their pragmatism alone should satisfy all naysayers.Flag

Name: ONG Guan Sin on Jun 12, 2011Comments: I thought by now everyone can appreciate the very concept of 'development', that it is not solely based on economic (GDP), but other aspects of life like social, culture and heritage. Singapore should avoid the irreversible path that it has been on for decades. Good luck.Flag

Name: Diana Roberts on Jun 12, 2011Comments: A society which recognizes and preserves its history and heritage is a society that honors and values its people...past, present and future. I find it amazing that the government of Singapore would so callously destroy one of the few remaining examples of its culture and history, in the name of "growth and development." A society can always grow, but it can never reclaim, remember, honor and appreciate and learn from the "past", once its tangible memories are destroyed. Please reconsider the decision to destroy the Bukit Brown Cemetery.Flag

There are few places in Singapore that goes back such a long way in history and instead of building yet another HDB, the URA should conserve the site and learn how to preserve the identity and memories of the place.Flag

Name: Kay on Jun 14, 2011Comments: It's really sad that they would want to bulldoze away a historical site. If the government keeps on demolishing such sites, what left of Singapore's history will only be available in books and future generations wouldn't have a chance to see and feel the history around themFlag
