“Come down to see the rich cultural and historical heritage of Bukit Brown where many of our Singapore pioneers and forefathers from the late 19th century to the early 20th century are buried here.

Once we removed Bukit Brown and turn it completely into an urban concrete jungle, we will have lost that integral part that bind us to our roots and is irreplaceable

Only if we remember our roots from whence we came, can we really love the country and the people that nurture us to what we are today.”
