say no to a columbarium next to our future home!

It may happen at your dream place too!

If this columbarium can't be stopped now, plans for other Civic & Community Institutions that include funeral parlors or associations that can facilitate funeral rites, if already in the big plan, can be stopped. Pease don't allow this company, Life Corp, Singapore Funeral Services or Eternal Pureland Pte Ltd (all 3 are actually one), or any like them, to tender for the other remaining Civic & Community Institutions plots marked out at Fernvale.

I suggest that since the idea for high tech temple with columbarium is approved and supported/defended, why not build a Building for resident committee or CC at adjacent land? Everyone can meet there even till wee hours of the morning.

And if there is serious and sincere intent to have harmonious HDB neighborhoods co designed by all stakeholders, then isn't it time to listen and consult residents on what they wish to have? Make this a learning point to move on to better ways of doing things for all here in this country, particularly in the design of future HDB estates - not only the the hardware needs to be sparky clean, modern and high tech, but the wishes and needs of residents are empathized.

for those who say that this is a case of NIMBY. Search yourselves.
