Creating art out of uprooted trees

Yew (holding chainsaw) and Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow (right) marking the log to be sculpted by Simon (sandy cap). With them is Chor Whye (black cap).

REMEMBER the many giant trees that fell during the massive storm last November? Penang Island City Council (MBPP) did not throw them away.

Instead, the hundreds of logs cut from the trees are being stored now at MBPP’s nursery in Jalan Utama near City Park.
