Kansas
Oh, I have walked in Kansas
Through many a harvest field,
And piled the sheaves of glory there
And down the wild rows reeled:
Each sheaf a little yellow sun,
A heap of hot-rayed gold;
Each binder like Creation's hand
To mould suns, as of old.
-Vachel Lindsey.
HElo everyone! Been a great week! Went for camp briefing and all that stuff today. And I also went for the RSAF open house.
What is most important that I want to say is this, you guys may know that I am a military freak, and so this information is very important to me. Just a few minutes ago, my secondary school history teacher called me to tell me that Fort Serapong in Sentosa has just been clear of the forest and are been excavated. This is most alarming to me as this may mean that the fort will be either destroyed for Sentosa Cove or been in the process of redevelopment into a new tourist attraction. I feel strongly for this forts aa they are the ones that made Singapore famous during the times of the British for a very well developed and protected Fortress of Singapore. As such, I have told my teacher that tomorrow, we will be heading our way down to Sentosa to see who is behind this excavatin and question their motive behind it. If it is purely on ecavation works and preseravation, then I will volunteer and help to discover that which is lost. If not, I will definitely fight to preserve this very precious history monument of Singapore from the brinks of destruction. I have also discussed with my teacher to possibly raise this issue to the West Coast GRC, who are incharge of that particular place, to preserve and if possible restore that area up. If not, then the Fort must be covered back up with soil and preserve it from the nature's fury.
Well, many of you guys may think that this is a small matter which is best left to the Government but I feel that this is a matter of Singapore's history. If we lose this part of the history, it's just like cutting an arm away from our body! So people, do help me out on this matter and if possible, give me links to people whom may help me in this issue.
Thank you.
