Letter to Today, 28 Jun 05 Unfair use of land for golf courses Letter by Michael Chua Kheng Hwee I refer to Karolyn Gin's letter "No nudity, please, we're Singaporeans" (Jun 27). Ms Gin argued against giving a secluded area to a small section of the population for use as a nudist colony when it could be better used to benefit a larger number. We live in a country where huge amounts of open space, namely golf courses, are set aside for a small section of the population. There are few people here who can afford golf memberships. Thus, the rest of the population is denied the enjoyment of these abundant green spaces in land-scarce Singapore. Talk about inequality.
