What
I find unique or special about Pulau Ubin: |
My
hopes for Pulau Ubin: |
| 1 |
Pulau
Ubin's geography serves many unique roles in the urbanisation of Singapore.
It is first and foremost a countryside that we can all escape to.
It is also a living community of the way of life that our parents
used to live in, a unique record in our history of nation building.
Most importantly, with its extensive fauna, flora, culture and geography,
Pulau Ubin is the best classroom that we can give to our children.
I think not enough credit has been given to Pulau Ubin in its role
in our education process. Tens of thousands of our children have visited
Ubin, brought by their school teachers, community leaders as well
as their parents. At Ubin, they learn science, history, geography,
sports, the rugged life, community work, nature, culture. All in,
it is a much richer experience for our precious young. Re-develop
Ubin into an urban area or a high-class residential homes? That is
taking away one of the most important educational programs from our
schools system! Keep Pulau Ub |
Preserve
Pulau Ubin's unique way of life, community, culture, animals, birds,
marine life, forests, mangroves, quarries, dirt tracks, farms....
the list goes on. It is the last real kampong that we have.
This island is a real place in a world that is getting glitsy and
unreal everyday. Ubin - nothing pretentious, nothing fake, yet priceless
and so precious. Don't destroy it. Man cannot re-create it. Trust
me! |

There
is a unique blend of culture and nature on the island. |
Remains
as a relatively rural, untouched island |

I
find Pulau Ubin a totally different place from the main island (singapore).
It is like stepping into the Past,where sinagpore was once filled
with Kampongs. Very relaxing.Every visit to Pulau Ubin is a different
experience for me. |
I
hope Pulau Ubin will remain as it is now. But I would really hope
to have some water sports (Kayaking, Jet ski etc) around the Island.

The
people of the island are very friendly and their ways of living is
very simple and easy.
I love the abundance of the many species of plants and animal and
insects.
The trails around the island are also very easily accessible and very
unlikely to get lost. |
For
it to remain as it is.
and not be destroyed by irresponsible visitors. |

no
Roads,unspoilt,a relic of olden singapore,a uniquely singapore place,old
charms,rustic,tranquil,a get away place .the boat trip is d best.where
else in singapore do u need to cross d sea to go to other than sentosa
which is so commercialised.
ubin is defintally a place worth protecting.we live in such a stressful
enviroment and so concrete and man-made.even the parks.that we need
somewhere that is totally natural to go to relax.ubin is defintally
the place.it's inaccessibility help her maintain her health and unleashes
her charm and mystery to the concrete man living on mainland singapore.
further more it is a good place to train the kids.they juz can't go
hm when they go there for camping .haha.We need ubin more than she
need us. |
to
be conserved.meaning clearing of rubbishes,improving the place in
a sense that more ppl can go but the impact of human must be controlled.maybe
diving in the quarry.more nature trail.but ultimately i hope that
it will come under the care of national parks.making it something
like the taman negera of singapore.anywae this is wat we hav left.Destorying
it is easy.bring it back is difficult ,we shouldn't be in a rush to
develop it.look at all the land housing that we have in spore.20 units
can be changed to a hdb plock housing 200 house hold.we must solve
this problem creatively.not vlindly wifout thinking and evaulation.the
heart must be considered. |

It's
just so different from the city that we grow up in and are so used
to. There's a feel of serenity on the island, and everything seems
innocent and pure and simply charming. |
To
remain as is, with its lovely rustic charm so that our kids will have
a chance to see a natural part of Singapore. |
| 8 |
close
to nature...unspolit village lifestyle...not affected by development |
sustainable
development so as increase the standard of living of the villages
there while maintaining the wide diversity of nature's creations. |
| 9 |
Many
exotic plants and animals can be found at Pulau Ubin. |
I
hope that Pulau ubin will remain unspoil. |

The
mangroves and the rustic feel of the place, makes one feels at home.
|
I
hope that Pulau Ubin can be protected just like the nature reserves
in Singapore. A place that offers a quiet getaway from the main land.
|
| 12 |
A
lot of variety in plants, v tranquil place compared to main land,
|
To
remain as it is=) |
| 13 |
the
only unspoilt place in singapore |
will
remain the same forever! |
| 14 |
It
the the only past of singapore that appears to be untouched by times.
One of the few (if not only) place in singapore where i can go and
it hasn't changed since the 1st time i went about 20 years ago. |
It
will stay exactly the same for many more years to come |

beautiful
chek jawa and its inhabitants; variety of tracks flanked by greenery
for trekking and cycling |
it
would remained and be preserved as it is; get visitors registered
if possible. |
| 16 |
It
is the last relatively untouched island in Singapore. It is as natural
as any part of Singapore can get, with fun nature activities to do.
Singapore is a small island. There are little activities that one
can engaged in that is not man made. Nor any natural activities that
can last for a whole day. In ubin, one can birdwatch, cycle, pick
fruits, camp out. I have tried all other islands in Singapore but
they are too small and with less available activities even if they
do have good nature diversity. I guess Ubin has a good balance of
both for wannabe explorer like me. |
I
hope that all those ugly barriers on the coast side of ubin could
be removed. I wish there is less development on Ubin... as more and
more places get developed, Ubin is slowly and surely losing its natural
flavour. Leave Ubin as it is. |
| 17 |
It's
a place away from the crowded and noisy city.A place to find flora
and fauna that used to be common but now rare on the main island.It
used to be an undisturbed and peaceful place until the throngs of
people came to do more harm to the already fast dwindling natural
places left. |
Hope
that it could be preserved in its natural state as far as possible
so that our kids could have a chance to visit and love it in years
to come. |

The
animals living in Chek Jawa |
I
hope that people who visit would walk with care and not kill any of
the animals for fun. I think that the government should close Chek
Jawa for a few years for all the animals and plants to grow back again. |

|
I
hope that Ubin will be spared from the rapid urbanisation. |
