"There was so much more richness of the place to be mesmerized by and by the end of the tour, I knew I had to come back and visit again. I knew I had to sign the petition to save Bukit Brown. I knew the disconnect of history and the disappearance of lacking narrative would not be what I wish for future generations and I know the tender for the building of the new highway is already issued. Save for the silver lining of an environmental management team being contracted to oversee the construction of the new highway, I believe everyone of us have a stake in keeping Bukit Brown alive because there is so much more sections of the cemetery we should speak up for and save before further development plans for the bursting population sees us sacrificing heritage for the economic good that benefits its people least. So instead of allowing the narrative to be lost forever, do something for what we should cherish because after all, TripAdvisor also agrees that the Bukit Brown Heritage trails are one of the top ten attractions of Singapore too. :)"
