An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:
NParks is mainly responsible for most of the trees in Singapore. NParks says that trees under its charge are manitained in a healthy and stable condition. Since 2004, there have been 1,300 cases of fallen trees and branches annually.
While it is impossible to prevent trees from falling such as when they are struck by lightning, we also know that it is an impossible task to maintain more than a million trees in a healthy condition. The maintenance cost easily amounts to tens of millions of tax dollars ie planting, replanting, clearing of leaves, pruning, inspections, etc. With a large number of trees falling, the cost has also increased.
Trees pruned until they are almost botak. Tens of millions in tax dollars spent on clearing leaves.

Fallen trees - should victims take action against JTC/NParks/government agencies?
