  What Pulau Ubin means to me: Feb 05
What I find unique or special about Pulau Ubin My hopes for Pulau Ubin
1 it any a lot of very unspoilt wild life and i think that it chould be kept that way or else that kind of wildlife may never be found on singapore again. i hope that pulau ubin will remain the same so that when i go back there again, i will still be able to see the wildlife.

5 its unspoilt nature and a great breakaway from the hustle and bustle of the city To remain as it is.. so that young people will get to experience first hand the "old" lifestyle and a great place for parents - children bonding...
6 peace. the gov already blunder big time at sentosa. Hands off. develop basic necessity. water, sewer, electricity
7 it is the last frontier for wildlife. it has such rich biodiversity and diverse ecosystems and is increasing the last refuge for wildlife in the region. we can benefit so much from allowing this refuge to grow! furthermore, the island has such rich history and heritage and a culture unique to our past that if this last living fossil of our heritage is gone, future generations will lose a chance to learn beyond history books. to develop sustainable and environmentally sound projects to ensure that the island can support itself financially yet at the same time providing for the unique biodiversity and culture on the island. not only should it be left as an "unspoilt" island but there should be work done to enhance it. development is not a bad thing as long as it is done sensitively - ecology and historical heritage and culture first before economic profits which will follow as long as the island is allowed to thrive! WITHOUT the island and its natural appeal, there will be NO profits! So please ALLOW the island to be what it is best at - being an island with an unbelivably rare island kampung culture that we have already lost on the mainland! My only hopes is that the island will be less fragmented into use by different agencies but instead managed and managed well by one agency or a council to oversee everything in a big picture. Good management is what I hope for the island.
