Support the re-routing of Cross Island Line. Announced in January 2013, the Cross Island MRT Line (CRL) is expected to make traveling across Singapore much more convenient. But with the proposed line cutting through the MacRitchie Forest, are we playing fast and loose with our natural heritage and nature reserves?The MacRitchie Forest Trail at Venus Drive meanders along the banks of a crystal-clear forest stream that is full of freshwater life. Here live dragons and damsels, freshwater crabs and prawns, the Puff-faced Watersnake, Pygmy Halfbeak and Saddle Barb. Look out, too, for the Green Crested Lizard, Red-bellied Squirrel, Long-tailed Macaque, Blue-rumped Parrot and Malayan Colugo. Walk in the cool shade of old trees. Feel a kind of natural peace that only a rainforest can give.The trail here is a dirt path which is relatively level and suitable for children, the elderly and the physically-challenged. Be prepared for some mud.
