Arborists urge local councils in Klang Valley to record and protect old trees

KL Tower is preserving this towering Jelutong tree that is easily more than 100 years old. It stands within the compound of this national landmark.

IN THIS time and age when historical buildings cannot escape the ravages of urban development, old trees face the chop no matter how rich their heritage value may be.

The Klang Valley, despite being the location of the capital city, has not shown the appropriate care towards these green gems.
