NParks Ubin Management + Conservation Launch

Just some photos here:

Originally posted as a thread on Clubsnap... but extra commentary only for Wildfilms blog! YAAAY!

Just "happened" to be there today... Yeah right, it's as likely as a windfall when I look up to the skies... I went because Adelle mailed out something regarding this...


A scale model of how the Chek Jawa area will look soon in the future. Personal concern is how the boardwalk construction may affect the existing organisms and ecosystems as the works are done. Does it spell the end of the guided tours?


Minister for National Development, Mr Mah Bow Tan arrives at the tentage for the Launch with an entourage. OK, so his entourage can't compare to Michael "Pailface" Jackson's...


Marine biologist by training, Professor Leo Tan addresses the audience about the early dismal days of Chek Jawa, to the current general awareness about the location. He didn't bore us to death with his speech. Thankfully.


Mr Mah Bow Tan addressing the audience on the general plans that are in the works. You may have wanted to bring out your favourite bolster as you listened to him...


The local news media converges on the three key men - Mr Mah Bow Tan, Professor Leo Tan, and Mr Paul Lawrence - as they do the formal cheque presentation ceremony. If I can't be bothered to squeeze to the front, why squeeze at all? Make the photographers the subject instead! HAHAHA!!!


Mr Mah Bow Tan, second from right, points out a section from the scale model, while Mr Paul Lawrence (center) has a look at the model with Professor Leo Tan, and another two NParks officials after the cheque presentation ceremony. Maybe he's just spotted a Keyhole Sand Dollar that Ria is desperately seeking. Not to be confused with Desperate Housewives
