Nature Society Singapore president Leong Kwok Peng urged the Government to retain more of Maju Forest, saying nature lovers’ “highest aspiration” is for the forest to remain untouched.   https://theonlinecitizen.com/2026/08/14/don-t-touch-maju-forest-nss-chief-urges-greater-protection-as-netizens-back-preservation-call   Here are the core internal contradictions and logical misalignments in NSS President Leong Kwok Peng's public position regarding Maju Forest:    * Ideal Position vs. Negotiation Concession: He stated that nature lovers' "highest aspiration" is for Maju Forest to remain completely untouched, yet in the same breath proposed a 2/3 retention counter-offer. By immediately conceding a 1/3 forest clearance during a media engagement, he undermines his own stated "highest aspiration" before formal negotiations have concluded.    * Ecological Warning vs. Proposed Compromise: He cautioned that Maju Forest is already "small and fragmented" and warned that shrinking habitats suffer severe edge-effect degradation. However, his proposal still consents to clearing 33% of that already small ecosystem, which accelerates the exact fragmentation issues he warned against.    * Rejecting Splitting the Forest vs. Accepting Environmental Impact: He urged authorities not to split the forest into "two separate entities" and asked for a cohesive habitat with "volume" rather than "a slice of land". Yet, he explicitly admitted that his own 2/3 retention proposal "will still result in some environmental impact" and "may not please everybody"—acknowledging that his compromise fails to fully solve the ecological integrity issue he raised.    * Rejecting Development vs. Validating Development Necessity: While calling on the Ministry of National Development (MND) to prioritize alternative brownfield sites or nearby military camps instead of Maju Forest, he simultaneously validates the government's premise that clearing the forest is negotiable by offering detailed land-splitting ratios (2/3 retained to 1/3 develop ed).
