Wong Seng Hong said two old trees, which had provided shade for visitors in the park, were cut down on Sunday.

The project developer had put up a notice banner stating that landscape works for the redevelopment project would start on Aug 21.

However, we found out that work has already begun.

This morning (yesterday), when I went to the lake for my daily exercise, the trees were no longer standing. They had also not cleaned up after the job and the tree trunks and branches were still lying there. This could lead to Aedes breeding.

We believe that the trees were felled at night, said Wong.

He said that the trees were believed to be over 30 years old.

A council officer confirmed that no application for landscape works was received.

While we are not against the project, we want the developer to follow the proper procedures and guidelines set by the authorities, he said.
