A trip to Bukit Brown Cemetery
'The Land Transport Authority's plan to open a major road through Bukit Brown Cemetery which is of eco-heritage value has raised debates between conservationists and developmentalists. One sees the more intangible but longer term cultivation of a collective sense of identity and belonging as well as the importance of protecting the undeveloped environment; the other, the short-term but lucrative demands for growth and prosperity' (Liew Kai Kun, 2011)
Join us this December as we explore Bukit Brown Cemetery, experience the eco-heritage of Bukit Brown and simultaneously discuss this 'nature' versus society debate imbued with politics and power.
