I agree that Singapore needs to balance economic growth with environmentalism. His suggestion to turn Pulau Ubin into a tropical eco-tourist resort combines environmental protection with economic benefit and is more practical than an exclusive resort on the Southern Islands." Country's survival comes first; But there may be a way to make money while saving nature Letter from Chia Hern Keng Today Online 6 Dec 06 "Only by making Singapore very attractive to travellers can this tourism business be assured. Areas such as Bugis, Little India and Suntec, for instance, should be further spruced up. I would even suggest turning Pulau Ubin into a kampung-style tropical ecotourism resort--for locals and foreigners alike--so that the natural environment there would be protected. If we think of environmentalism, we also need to consider man as part of nature. Keeping Pulau Ubin in its current state without letting people appreciate its beauty would be a waste."
