After crossing West Coast Road and walking through Clementi West St. 2, I hit the West Coast Highway.

I could remember this stretch of road very well.

West Coast Highway was still under construction when my family moved in over 20 years ago. I used to have my evening jog here after work. The sea was just a short distance away; and the peacefulness of the quiet coastal town, the gentle evening breeze from the sea....titillates the spirit and the soul.

The PSA has extended its port development from Pasir Panjang to the West Coast Highway area. The lovely view of the sea and the gentle sound of the lapping waves hitting the shoreline is now totally transformed.

The change in land use for economic development is inevitable. The port is the lifeline of Singapore.

The West Coast Highway is now hogged by container carriers and heavy, long-body trucks plying the Jurong industrial estates and Pasir Panjang PSA container port route.
