Moving House Reflection — Ye Tsz Yu

I think the situation in Singapore is a bit similar to Hong Kong — which is also facing the problem of having a rapid increase in population, both countries do not have enough spaces for housing and are trying to discover more land for that, e.g. HKSAR started to consider reclamation which might pollute the natural environment, etc. In this documentary, the ancestors’ houses need to be moved due to the city’s development — the Singapore government wanted to build public housing there. Obviously, reclamation and moving the ancestors’ houses are not the ideal solution to build more houses to match the demands. However, it’s sad but true that our cities cannot find a better solution, and this reflects the problem that the future generation might still need to face.
