Urban Singapore Prepares to Gobble Up Its Last Village

There's gonna be a price to pay for this: a rootless, disengaged citizenry. Good times won't last forever, and when the crash inevitably comes, these folks who don't even know their neighbors will not hang together. They'll hang separately.

Sad.

The demolition of Singapore’s last rural village is a final step in an extreme national makeover.
