MBPJ urged to monitor old trees in Section 17

A storm on Thursday evening caused 12 trees to uproot in S17, Petaling Jaya.

RESIDENTS want the authorities to check on old trees and their potential to uproot after a thunderstorm on Thursday evening caused trees to topple, leading to some property damage in Section 17, Petaling Jaya.

Section 17 RT chairman Charlie Chan said he had lived in the neighbourhood since the 1970s and Thursday’s storm was the worst he had seen.
