I am very disappointed with MND and HDB for allowing this to happen. I do not see this columbarium as being ancilliary to a temple. It is run by a commercial entity , so it is more a columbarium than a temple with a columbarium attached. 

 

Has HDB ever leased its places of worship to non-religious organisations? Is this the first time it is doing so? Is money all that matters now? What happened to this vision of HDB's - 

" An outstanding organisation with people committed to
fulfilling aspirations for homes and communities all are proud of " ?

I was looking forward to getting my keys to a flat in Fernvale Rivergrove ( next door to Fernvale Lea where this columbarium will be sited) next year. I no longer am. What a way to end 2014 and enter 2015. Forget about the celebrations for SG50.  Please take better care of the citizens of Singapore and their real needs first. I believe many future residents of Fernvale Lea, Fernvale Rivergrove and Lush Acres are as disappointed as me.
