This past week, multiple trees in different locations around Malaysia were uprooted and had fallen onto roads, causing damages and a death.

Following the fatal incident which took place in Kuala Lumpur, the Kuala Lumpur City Council (DBKL) took the initiative to identify high risk trees and are in the process of cutting them down. But, cutting down trees is bad for the environment, right? 

Recognising the effects to the environment, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim (PMX) has since ordered the mayor of KL, Kamarulzaman Mat Salleh, to replant 100 trees for each high risk tree that will be cut down. He took to his Twitter page to share this news.

He wrote, “I have given instructions to the Dato Bandar that for every tree that has to be cut down, 100 new trees must be replanted.”

 

Malaysian found PMX’s instructions to be a progressive one and shared their suggestions on how to make Kuala Lumpur greener without causing anymore harm from falling trees.

“I agree with this. Please replace them with trees that produce a lot of oxygen but does not pose a risk to the safety of the people and public property.”

Tree 2

“Confront the council for choosing to cover the roots of trees with concrete. If you want to plant (trees), but do the same things, then the same will happen again. Teach them to do mulching instead of (pouring on) concrete.”

“I suggest that the trees that are going to be replanted are local species that are suitable for the city’s conditions. Also, focus on the heat island problem that, in turn, causes a domino effect of problems in KL.”

Tree 5

 

We’re truly happy to hear that more trees are going to be planted in and around KL, especially considering the insane heat we’ve been enduring. We just hope that the authorities actually follow through on the orders to plant more trees.

What do you think about this? Do feel free to share your thoughts in the comment section.
