I really thought this would just be a quiet project but the emails have been non-stop and honestly it is getting a bit overwhelming to keep track of everyone who reaches out to share their memories of the village. I am currently trying to find someone who actually works in land planning to talk to because it feels like the current development plans just completely ignore the history held in those dirt paths.

I never thought people would actually care this much about the last bit of green, it feels surreal to look at this momentum and think about the quiet of the village getting saved from the bulldozers. I keep thinking about how the slipper sounds on the dirt path and how easily that could just vanish if nobody speaks up, but now it feels like we might actually have a shot at keeping it away from the concrete mixers.

Keep it. We dont need another hdb block.
my grandparents used to live in a place like this. so much history here. please dont destroy the last true kampong we have left
Singapore is losing its soul. Everything is getting demolished for another shopping mall or condo. We need to leave this place alone.
its the last piece of old singapore. its actually nice to have some green space thats not a manicured park or a condo garden.
LEAVE IT ALONE. Enough is enough.

Such a special place. My kids love visiting because it shows them how we used to live. Dont turn it into more concrete.
