The rising of the sun seen through clouds at one of the last natural stretches of beaches in Singapore.
The beach, is off the area of Sembawang which was once Kampong Wak Hassan, along a coastline which hosted several coastal villages.
Based on the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) Draft Master Plan 2013, the coastline is due to be altered through land reclamation - no change from the more recent Master Plans which the URA releases once every five years, including the 2003 Master Plan which invited Ms Margie Hall, a member of the Nature Society Of Singapore and a long time resident of Sembawang, to write to the URA.
While land reclamation in the area appears to have been put on hold and the beach area at Sembawang Park adjacent to Kampong Wak Hassan has been given a recent makeover, it does seem that the intention to reclaim land from the sea off the beach is very much still there.
