'Label trees and plants found in streets and parks, especially in the HDB heartland.'
Straits Times Forum 25 Jun 09;
MR KUMAR PILLAY THANGAVALU: 'Singapore is known for its garden city image. However, one drawback is the fact that, unlike our friends from Europe and the United States, we are unable to name or identify almost 90 per cent of our flora and fauna.
It is never too late to educate both young and old, and I suggest that either the town councils or the National Parks Board label trees and plants found in streets and parks, especially in the HDB heartland.'
