WHAT makes Singapore unique? Is it our quaint shophouses, old buildings from colonial times, antique monuments or lush rainforests?
Singapore's heritage is a hotchpotch of cultural relics and natural beauty, and efforts towards their preservation made by the authorities are laudable.
However, I must speak for our more elusive natural heritage sites that are being neglected.
Reefs, seen only underwater or at low tides, are a marine heritage unknown to many Singaporeans.
