Letter from Cole Yee, Today Online 22 Dec 07;
Clementi Park owners are being proactive against a second attempt to sell the condominium en bloc and have formed a group called Save Clementi Park. I am one of them.
The group has launched a website, www.saveclementipark.com, which proclaims the beauty of Clementi Park, one of which is its unique natural hill in the middle of the development (picture).
After one en bloc sale attempt failed to get even 50 per cent of the vote, another attempt is currently being made with the recent set up of a new committee.
The anti-en bloc group is sick of the en bloc sale attempts and wishes to preserve the condominium.
The Clementi Park hill which occupies roughly a third of the condominium land, is well worth conserving. There is nothing like it anywhere else in Singapore. The green ambience and tranquillity of this Sunset Way condominium with 10 blocks that wrap around a hill cannot be replicated anywhere else.
On 1 million sq ft of land sit 490 units with huge "lung areas", park land and wonderful playgrounds for kids.
Many people with allergies or skin problems benefit from living in the condominium due to the freshness of its air. The condominium has a wonderful hilly terrain and mature park land with huge trees.
