Controversy

Dover Forest deforestation

Under PAP's rule, it was announced on December 2020 that the Dover Forest will be deforest to build new public housing Build-to-Order (BTO) flats. Despite concerns were raised regarding impacts on animal and plant species in the forest, and petitions were launched against the development plan which received massive support, the PAP government continued the plan and deforest the eastern part of the forest and conservation only the Dover Forest West. Desmond Lee, PAP party member and who was then Second Minister for National Development, claimed that "Any decision to clear land and forest cover is not taken lightly".[1][2]
