There is HOPE!

Reading the Straits Times this morning, Senior Minister of State for National Development and Education Grace Fu, said that a study will look at ways to carve out more underground space - for possible use as public areas such as museums and galleries.

Hey! Ms Co-chair of the Economic Strategies Committee sub-committee on land productivity, could you start the study here with those abandoned Air Raid Shelters at Guan Chuan Street first?

These are semi underground and are ready for immediate conversion.

In that same report, architect, Tai Lee Siang mentioned that if underground space was promoted properly,  'people's acceptance... will change rapidly...

Maybe they should start promoting it properly to the HDB Bukit Merah branch office and the Tanjong Pagar Town Council first. 

Their mindset must change before any change can happen here.
