$9.5m to rejuvenate Yishun landscape

$9.5m to rejuvenate Yishun lanscape. That is a lot of money. I am living in Yishun, and in my opinion, I think the government is turning Yishun to a more popular place. It is a joint effort involving government agencies and Khoo Teck Puat Hospital to remake the heartland into a vibrant place for residents to live in. The Yishun Pond is set to undergo a facelift to become part of a waterfront park for the area's residents and the nearby Khoo Teck Puat Hospital's patients. It will be covered in trees, shrubs and flowering plants. There will also be footpath for residents to go jogging or walking around the area. I think that this is eco-friendly and it helps the envirionment not only for us but we can also enjoy the scenery of the pond. We can also have activities near it and enjoy community or family bonding. These are new things which people have not seen before, therefore, I think that people would be talking more about it, and Yishun will be more known to more people. I would be excited and would be waiting until the transformation is complete by the end of 2011.
