Destruction

Photobucket

Why are people in such a rush to change things?

Why the compulsion?

Why change?

Why not status quo?

At the end of this year, the hotel in the picture will be torn down to make way for a new MRT station. Yes, all nine floors of The New 7th Story Hotel will be shattered into mere rubble. Losing such a building that has been standing at the very same spot for the last 50 years will be such a waste. A loss for Singapore. A part of our heritage missing...All in the name of globalisation and progression.
