<TABLE border=0 cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="100%"><TBODY><TR>Commission a statue of hero, but don't name MRT station after him
</TR><!-- headline one : end --><!-- show image if available --></TBODY></TABLE>
<!-- START OF : div id="storytext"--><!-- more than 4 paragraphs -->I REFER to Thursday's commentary, 'Rename station after Nicoll Highway hero'.
It is not appropriate to give an MRT station a name that is not linked to its geographical surroundings.
As an alternative, why not commission a life-size bronze statue of the brave Mr Heng Yeow Peow, depicting him at work.
This statue can be placed in a prominent position in the station with a suitable legend to acknowledge his selfless sacrifice.
And, of course, first find out if his family would like this to be done.
