Man, I totally have to agree with what has been posted/ranted in the above comments. The government is of course, first and foremost acting out of pragmatic or practical issues. Hence the destruction of much of our heritage. It is only when the government (need I remind everyone it has been the same party since forever) realizes that the country is lacking something that other developed countries have (S'pore Flyer, anyone? Grand Prix?) that they rush to have the same thing. It is indeed a pity that they really only do realise the value of something only 20 years down the road, and they try to put up some museum dedicated to it that eventually closes down due to the lack of interest from the youth(because everyone has forgotten about it, unfortunately).

But yes I must concede that I HEART the ZOO! Haha.
