Residents fear 100 tagged trees in Jalan Jelatek will be felled to make way for highway project

These trees along Jalan Jelatek have been tagged for inventory purposes and will be assessed if they should be removed or transplanted.

RESIDENTS along Jalan Jelatek fear that the canopy of trees lining the entrance to their homes will be chopped down in the name of development.

The residents noticed that over 100 trees along the stretch have been tagged “Duke III” since last month and are worried they will have to make way for the construction of the highway which is scheduled to begin in July.
