'Don’t touch the forest' is my first preference: Nature Society Singapore president

“Don’t touch Maju Forest. That’s my first preference,” said Nature Society Singapore president Leong Wok Peng, as he called for planners to consider retaining a larger, contiguous Maju Forest if development is needed. Mr Leong was responding to latest updates from Mr Alvin Tan, Minister of State for National Development, who announced on Friday (Aug 14) that, following public feedback, more greenery will be retained and fewer homes built at Maju Forest and Gillman Barracks. #sgnews #singapore Subscribe to our channel here: https://cna.asia/youtubesub Visit our website: https://cna.asia Download our app: https://cna.asia/app Get our editors' picks of stories via chat apps: Telegram: https://cna.asia/telegram WhatsApp: https://cna.asia/whatsapp Follow us on these platforms: https://www.facebook.com/channelnewsasia https://www.instagram.com/channelnewsasia https://www.tiktok.com/@channelnewsasia
