"Destroy a landmark to build an MRT station? Why Not?"
Yuhui's Singapore Blogger said:
I just couldn't resist taking a dig at the Land Transport Authority's hare-brained decision to destroy the New 7th Storey Hotel. [...] Thank goodness that the Action Community for Entrepreneurship is running its "Why Not?" campaign right now.

A story of an old Angsana tree
Daniel Chin said:
Since antiquity, there is an old Angsana tree in Singapore. It is a valuable tree. So valuable that it has earned itself immunity: it was ruled that the tree is not to be chopped down if it is in the way of construction; instead it will be moved and transplanted under the guidelines issued by the authority overseeing trees. However, things took a twist of turns a few years back.
