Is it worth it to demolish Bukit Brown for a new highway?

Estimated to house 100,000 tombs in a vast landsize of about 0.86 square kilometers, Bukit Brown Cemetery has been abandoned since its closure in 1973. It was opened in 1922 by the Municipal Council (Municipal Council oversaw the supplies of water, electricity, gas, maintenance of roads, lighting and other administrative things in Singapore before 1965). Although abandoned as a cemetry, people all over Singapore still continue to walk through the entrance of Bukit Brown. Urban Sketchers can be found with pens in their hands, etching every detail of the tombs on to their sketch books. Bird watchers troop in early just to spot the many birds who rest in the cemetry. Almost one-quarter of the bird species in Singapore rest and nest here. These include the Great Racket-tailed Drongo, the Banded Woodpecker, the Long-tailed Parakeet, the Red-crowned Barbet, the Lanced Woodpecker, the Changeable Hawk Eagle, Nightjars, and the usual Myna, Pink-necked Pigeon, Starling, Swiftlet. Bukit Brown, is teeming with life. But, everything is going to be demolished for a new highway. Bukit Brown teaches anyone who enters living history. Learn the language of the tombs and understanding the lives of our pioneers becomes an easy task. Take a walk through the windy dirt paths and discover the rich diversity of life in the foliage. Imagine the greenery being replaced by a highway, countless of cars driving past it, adding even more pollutants into the air.Is a highway worth demolishing a living history textbook?
