Let's live and let die, please...
THE question civil society groups must consider is: Who would want to visit the graves at Bukit Brown Cemetery ('Navigating a new terrain of engagement'; yesterday). How many would do so weekly, or even monthly?
The truth is that the area gives many Singaporeans the spooks; it is eerie, unlike MacRitchie Reservoir.
Young couples need homes, but a minority like the civil society groups want to stop the eventual development of Bukit Brown into a housing zone.
In fact, the Land Transport Authority should scrap the plan to build a bridge across Bukit Brown; taxpayers' money should be used for more critical needs.
The Government should not cave in to the minority simply because they are vocal. I am certain that if it comes to a referendum or vote, an overwhelming majority of citizens would prefer the Government's plan for the area.
The living should come first, not the dead.
