(Straits Times article on the Green Plan )
The green plan was drawn up over 12 months and up to six working groups will be formed soon to implement the plan.
During its formulation, contributions came from three focus groups with more than 50 people plus 77 submissions of ideas from the public.
Still, some feel it can be better.
One of them is Dr Ho Hua Chew, who heads conservation at the Nature Society.
He told The Straits Times that more details should have been included like what areas will be conserved in the long term and more nature areas should be gazetted.
But a balance has to be struck between the three aims of economic development, social progress and environmental protection, said Mr Lim.
