Issue: Does anything exist in Singapore?

On my way to work now, i am looking outside, watching the scenery passing by and wondering how much of this green land will still be there next year. I also looked at the LRT line, wondering if there was anything as strong as cement, but that looks a bit better than that.

Then i thought: cement doesn't stay that stable either. It gets old and starts cracking. What does the government do?
I thought, well, like a lot of things, it will just tear it down like anything else that is old and build on top of that.
Thus, i was thinking: does anything older than 10 years (or less) still exist? I mean, where i stay, i am LITERALLY surrounded by constructions of a 40storey building, a hotel, a new condo and from december onwards, the church next door will be teared down. So really, back to my question: does anything in Singapore stay alive/exists?

Those buildings have a history. People lived in it for years and created their own history. I just have this feeling or thought that the Singaporean government does not allow things or even people to exist, to let it create history and let it age on its own. I am not only talking about the gay community that is really non existant here, but also elder people seem to receive either no life or respect for their hard work through their lives. Why? Because they are still working when they're 70 and are supposed to rest.
It always says: "new education", "get more this and that". New new new. What about the old? You don't create the new out of nowhere. You create the new out of the old. So why eliminate the old? Why not make things better?

Use the old to learn from it and make it better, because that's how you learn to make things newer.
