Was driving home today and heard over the radio the news about Pulau Ubin. We all know that the chickens on the island are being cleared by the govt for fear of Bird Flu epidemic. What was interesting was that the govt had managed to relocate the residents to mainland with some form of compensation. What was understood was that there are still some residents on the island who refused to give up their land to the govt.
Question is " Is the Govt really worried about the Bird Flu or is this some cover up operations to clear Pulau Ubin of these residents?"
IMHO, I think the govt is killing 2 birds with one stone, no punt intended.
