Century-old rain trees in Kasigui will be spared by road expansion project, says Penampang MP

KOTA KINABALU: Nostalgic Penampang folk and history buffs would be relieved to know that the five rain trees in Kasigui in Penampang, about 10km from here, will not be chopped down as initially planned after all.

There was a campaign launched last December to stop a road expansion project from steamrolling over a little colonial-era trading post in Kasigui of which there was now only a small marketplace, a coffee shop and the five rain trees estimated to be between 80 and 100 years old.
