Another fallen tree

---

Mr. Chia Hiok Yoo captured this photo of a collapsed tree at Sembawang Road, beside Sembawang Shopping Centre at about 11 am. yesterday morning.

The 48-year-old shopkeeper told STOMP that he had seen the same tree deeply rooted to the ground just the night before when he was passing by the same road.

Recently, there seems to be a growing concern about falling trees, especially after the deaths of a dental assistant at Bukit Timah Nature Reserve and two other Singaporeans at Mount Ophir in Malaysia, all involving fallen trees.

On 22nd May, another STOMPer, Goh Whye Kok, also sent in pictures of three trees along Geylang Bahru Road, describing one as looking as if it was going “to give way anytime” while saying that the other two might “end up this way sooner or later”.
