"25 May, 2006 - The Singapore Environment Council (SEC) together with the Nature Society of Singapore (NSS) hosted a seminar this evening to brief concerned parties about the new status of Project NOAH, which was launched in April this year."

"When questioned by the floor, it was asserted that "Project NOAH" is no longer in existence. It's initial plans detailed in the April press conference are presently "suspended".
