4 What I find unique about Pulau Ubin is that it does not have tons of shopping centres crammed with huge numbers of Singaporeans and non Singaporeans. I absolutely hate being stuffed with crowds! Leave Pulau Ubin the way it is.. no modern developments please like shopping centres and cinemas.. we need Ubin to be left untouched for our peace of mind
5 Compared to the rest of built up Singapore, Ubin is an unspoilt paradise where one can go for peace and quiet. That it stays the way it is now, or is preserved for eco tourism
6 Ubin is the place where we can relax there no reclamation!
7 Ubin is the place where we can relax there no reclamation!
8 relaxed pace of life, kampung like atmosphere, ability to explore (this has changed drastically) We will not try to improve it as we rehabilitate it; we have spoilt it enough
9 The Ubinites; their lives; their livelihood and economy; their history; Ubin's very special ambience; plus the richness in the variety of precious ecosystems which are still on and around the island. That these unique features will be AUTHENTICALLY enhanced - and be not diminished nor corrupted with destructions, desecrations, introductions or developments which are alien to original Ubin. Authentic true Ubin whole and intact will be of immensely greater worth to Singapore's near-term and long-term security, dynamism, progress, competitiveness and prosperity than Ubin "developed and commercialised into a no-more Ubin".
10 A place in Singapore where you still be able to find Nature just at your doorstep. Remain as it is.

12 Its rustic charm. It reminds me of the kind of people we used to have for neighbours during my childhood days. A reminder of what life was and can be - simple. U don't have to go to Nepal or Tibet or Thailand to seek a peaceful sanctuary -- Ubin has it all (of course not during the weekends!) Just leave it as it is. Of course this may be wishful thinking as Singapore does not have a track record of leaving things as they are!
13 It's kpg environment and abundant nature areas. Also the people and laid back ways I hope it will stay as it is now. Or if not, at least preserve its more important natural heritage areas.
14 kampung atmosphere stay as it is
15 Everything Conserve it!
16 I guess it is nostalgia - reminds me of my younger days in the "kampong" where there are few buildings and people tend to depend a lot on nature and things around them for their needs. There is a surprise everyday because suddently a new shoot has sprout or a butterfly, spider etc decided to spring into action and add to the colour. You can smell the grass and fresh morning dew instead of polution! How can one describe the feeling. I hope the authorities would leave Ubin as it is instead of seeking to "improve" it. Please do not tar any more roads but perhaps dig in some ditches alongside so that water can drain off. The problem with bringing in too much of "civilisation" is that the change is irreversible and before we know it, boy we've created another "modern" Singapore !

18 The atmosphere of the 60s Leave it untouch!
19 Chek Jawa! ;o) And of course the kampung village there. That P.Ubin (including CJ) will be preserved through conservations programs endorsed by the government.

21 The laid-back environment. Kampong living. Remind as it is for the next generation to get to undestand the old Singapore!

23 the peace and unspoilt nature of a kampong life remains quaint and and preserved for nature lovers

25 Chek Jawa, Rustic kampong extinct in main S'pore island, Green lungs of S'pore [ hopefully car population is kept small & healthy ]. An island of unspoilt nature - flora & fauna for S'pore to learn & appreciate nature. A place to do research , eg on medicinal cure from plants and marine creatures.
26 the retention of the old kampong flavour I wish to see it as one where urban dwellers like us can unwind while pacing the nature, however I do not wish to see the place to be over developed for such a cause.
