Name: Seow Hwee Ling on Aug 17, 2007Comments: I saw the news report about the storing of granite in Lim Chu Kang. Singapore has very few farms left today and many people of my generation do not have the chance to experience what farm is. It's very rare and valuable. Please preserve it for our future generations. Please stop the destruction.Flag

Name: Lynn Ee on Aug 17, 2007Comments: We all need to get back to nature. Even PM Lee stated how emotionless and uncompassionate the youth in Singapore have become. I believe that if children are in touch with their natural surroundings i.e. nature ... LIFE ... and are not constantly cooped up in concrete buildings all the time, they will eventually learn to be compassionate and be filled with emotion. The need and want to protect every living thing will be ignited. Do not destroy the only natural & tranquil, escape left in Singapore. Let us be able to produce our own food. Enough of imported 'formaldehyde filled' food we rely so heavily on. If Isreal, being a desert, can produce and export a large percentage of the Worlds main produce, isn't it about time that our Country learns a thing or two on how to keep us sustainable and less reliant on our neighbours.Flag

Name: Kenny Eng on Aug 17, 2007Comments: We are supportive of the Govt's intent of why we need to stock pile but the question is why at the countryside where the farmers have been trying to keep it sustainable and providing a getaway for the busy Singaporeans. This is Singapore's Countryside and the one and only countryside.. SAVE IT!Flag

Name: Christina Gondokusumo on Aug 17, 2007Comments: Please retain the agricultural site at Kranji. It can serve as a 'library' for agriculture in Singapore, a tourist attraction or also as an area for agricultural education for our children. Singapore needs places like this. The government might want to consider furthering the support and developing the area into an actual organic food or farming area so that it can supplement Singapore's consumption in an effective manner that maximizes land usage. Similar to the Stockholm Industrial Water contest that Newater won, the new agricultural methods may be another trademark of our beautiful Garden City. Thank you!Flag

Name: Woo Yin Chow on Aug 17, 2007Comments: Piling heavy loads like granite on top of arable land will cause severe compaction of soil resulting in very poor plant growth or impossible to grow. A better place to store the granite would be the newly reclaimed land where the land is for planting buildings as it helps to stabilizing the foundation by firming it up. There is always a better alternative. Arable land is a significantly shrinking resource of Singapore and some percentage of food security is essential for any country in the world. LimChuKang has a very long history of the early farmers of Singapore and once you destroy it or planting buildings over it or use it to store granite, it is more or less destroyed forever. Its a pity that none of Singapore's technocrats are agriculture or horticulture trained and therefore will have little empathy and understanding of its importance. In today's political and economic climate and the climate itself, any country that forsake its ability to produce food for her own people cannot be a wise decision irrespective of its material and monetary wealth. To all the farmers who once fed Singapore, I take my hats off to them for as far as I understand they have been taken off the very land they once used to feed her neighbours and people.Flag

Name: Anonymous on Aug 17, 2007Comments: Lim Chu Kang is an education place for children, a nature escape for adults and most importantly nature habitat for many wild animals and birds. With more and more natural places and farms disappearing in Singapore, i doubt children of the next decades know anything about nature, or even not knowing how a live chicken looks like...Flag

Name: Eileen And Jack Bygrave on Aug 18, 2007Comments: We are returned Singaporeans, from living in cities abroad. One of the reasons we came back was to find again the garden city we once left. PLEASE, let us keep what's left of the countryside. There are so few places left where a high rise does not break a green horizon and skyline. PLEASE keep the KRANJI countryside as it is. Preserve. please.Flag

We should support these farmers, who knows, through their passion for agriculture and the advancement of technology, we could one day become self-sufficient and not depend so much on food imports.Flag
