政府说要找个地方储存些花岗岩。就这样，林厝港那一带就出现了一个花岗岩储藏场。不错，就在新加坡所剩无几的农业地区。为了防止花岗岩污染到附近的农地，有关当局就建了高高的围墙。不错，他们似乎认为花岗岩的尘土绝对不会往高处飞。
有关当局还说他们已经确保环境不会受到污染了。不错，他们觉得只要开了一条专为装运花岗岩的道路，只要沟渠能把污染的雨水都冲走，只要周末和公共假期不装运花岗岩，环境就没有理由会受到污染。
这一带的两百多个农场会把农作物卖到本地各大超市，然后我们就把这些蔬菜水果买回家吃。不知各位是不是也和有关当局一样觉得这一带真的是一个很适合储存花岗岩的地点？
当然，如果小至百年老树，大至历史悠久的国家图书馆都得为了“发展”这个目的而让步的话，两百多个小农场又算得了什么？
Over 80 acres of arable land, originally earmarked for agricultural purposes, has been bulldozed to become a granite stockpile site.
Help save what little countryside that's left. It took local farmers years to create this sustainable countryside in Lim Chu Kang, where nature and nurture happily co-exist. It only took the Govt. agencies 2 months to destroy it.
