These gorgeous photos will make you want to save MacRitchie

The LTA has annnounced the construction of a new Cross Island MRT Line. While this means it’ll be a lot more convenient for lots of people, the line will run through MacRitchie and its delicate ecosystem, an issue that has been causing much debate in on the internet in recent weeks, not to mention lots of pretty picture posting. Here are some lovely ones. Scroll down to see info on some walking tours happening March, too.
