About 30 years ago, DBKL planted a variety of fast growing trees. The idea was, to quickly transformed KL to a city within forest. Now the very same trees are giving DBKL problems. They are no longer healthy, they are not able to withstand tropical storms. A number of cases, the trees collapsed on vehicles and peoples on foot, causing death and destruction.
