Mr Lim, the secretary-general of the People’s Voice party, argued in his post that Singapore is “being turned into a sterile, soulless concrete monstrosity “ with “endless construction…everywhere.

“Let’s not fall for gimmicks and false narratives. Nice sounding catchphrases and fancy ecological names for new housing developments do nothing to Ensure sustainability.

I am sure our next generation have no wish to live in an overcrowded, joyless society, full of high rises, MRT stations and roads in the sky. They treasure our green spaces because they know that when you destroy nature, the future is not sustainable,” he added. “How much will it cost, to protect ourselves against rising sea levels? My guess is probably S$100 billion over 100 years, quite possibly more,” the Prime Minister had said in 2019, adding, “If we only have 10 years to solve the problem, we won’t have

have the time or resources to do it. But because this is a 50 to 100-year problem, we can implement a 50 to 100-year solution.”
