Shark concerns: One step forward, two steps back?
Letter from Mariann Maes, Today Online 30 Aug 08
"RWS’ act of denial also tarnishes the image of Singapore as a city-state that cares for the environment. There is no point in Singapore being advocated as a green global hub if it chooses to ignore the plight of flora and fauna in its care."

Whale of a bad idea
Letter from Satveer Kaur (Ms), Straits Times 3 Sep 08;
Even if we place the whale shark in a tank the size of Singapore it would not be big enough. What more on a tiny part of Sentosa?
