RESIDENTS of Kampung Baru Jinjang Selatan want Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) to take action to address the threat posed by a tree in the residential area.

The tree, which is more than 50 years old according to the residents, is located in the compound of an unoccupied house but towers over the roofs of four houses, including a pre-school in Lorong Jambu Merah.
