Dead Trees

Alice,

Refer to photos, let me bring to your kind attention pertaining to this tree. It was planted by developer when I moved in and now it belongs to ‘Majlis’ coz its rooted in a public area next to my corner unit. For unknown reason, it’s now ‘dead’ I believe. 

Couple weeks ago, you did a landscaping exercise by cutting down trees and re-planting palm trees contributed by Prasarana, if I am not mistaken those trees were given FOC to many Tamans as replacement since the MRT works require them to cut down trees around Puchong area.

During one of the days while your contractors were cutting down the trees, I seek their assistance to help me remove it coz they have all the tools to do so. Not only that, I knew it’s wrong to remove or cut down any trees without ‘Majlis’ approval, I never ask anyone to cut it down previously. But since your contractors were doing it, I believe they were instructed with approval to do so. I even spoke to you same day and seek your assistance and you said OK and will do that later. At the same time you HIGHLIGHTED to me that these contractors were engaged with RA FUNDS to do RA’s work, not personal.

Today, this ‘dead’ tree remain standing. Are you doing anything about it? It puzzles me why you can cut and re-plant trees for some corner units using RA funds but not this one dead tree even though I seek the assistance from you? I never asked you for personal favour because this tree was planted in a public area!!

Just wondering any reasons why you practice double standards? FYI, I paid my monthly contribution promptly? Or giving you the benefit of the doubt, maybe you’ve forgotten about it, even though you stay just BEHIND me?? Since you CLEARLY HIGHLIGHTED to me that RA’s fund were used to do all these works, so am I not entitled to a little bit of help, in this case removing a tree? Or, is it you to decide what to do or not what to do for only certain privilege few?

 Since you ignore my request, my only option is to HIGHLIGHT this matter in this blog. Whether or not you can assist, I shall leave it to you. IF you decided to seek the contractors help to cut down the tree, I appreciate it BUT please don’t go around telling other people that you are using RA Funds to HELP CUT DOWN ANNE’s ONE DEAD TREE. Doesn’t it make sense to do it last time!! If you decide not to do it, please do reply me so I can do so myself. I do not wish to get into trouble with the authority by cutting down tree without approval. Look forward to your reply.
