KUALA LUMPUR: As tree doctors are being sent to check on high-risk trees in the city following the freak incident of a fallen tree, the Government promises to help city council staff get up to speed with arboriculture.

Natural Resources and Environ­ment Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar said training and other forms of aid can be offered to city councils and state governments to reduce accidents resulting from falling trees.
