The exhibition Bukit Brown : Our Roots, Our Future was officially opened by Ms Jane Ittogi  Shanmugaratnam, Chair of the Singapore Art Museum, on the evening of 29 June, 2013.

Ms Ittogi, who had visited Bukit Brown with the Brownies in March 2013, shared her views and impressions. She spoke at length of the potential of its material culture for scholars. In particular, Bukit Brown’s preservation may rest on weighing the opportunity cost, its community value, and its universal value, she said.

Raymond Goh representing All Things Bukit Brown made an impassioned speech, sharing the significant  discoveries which have emerged only in the last two years.
