A Singapore legacy comes full circle

Professor Peter Ng, Head of the Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum at NUS, traced the history of the museum's treasured specimens against the backdrop of Singapore's history. Prof Ng opined that the museum is a symbol of the need to appreciate fellow life forms that one shares the earth with. It is also a tool of science, an engine for education, and a means to empower the next generation, so that they do not repeat the environmental sins of their forefathers.
