After detailed checks, NParks declares trees in Botanic Gardens’ Palm Valley safe

SINGAPORE — The National Parks Board (NParks) has completed a “detailed check” on all the trees in Palm Valley in the Botanic Gardens, where a Tembusu heritage tree fell on Saturday — killing one person — and has found them to be safe.

And it is now conducting more checks on other trees in the vicinity, as well as all the heritage trees in the Gardens, it said on Sunday (Feb 12). There are now 63 heritage trees left in the Gardens.

In its latest update, NParks also gave more details of the inspection regime for the tree that fell. For example, its twice-yearly inspections included checks on the anchoring roots, crown, trunk and signs of soil movement.

“We want to assure the public that we share concerns about the safety of our trees in the Singapore Botanic Gardens, especially in view of the recent spate of intense weather conditions,” said NParks Commissioner of Parks and Recreation Leong Chee Chiew. “As we’re still investigating the tree fall incident, we should not speculate on the cause of the tree fall and allow the due process to take its course. Our priority now is to accord assistance to the families of the deceased and the injured.”

A 38-year-old woman from India was killed and four others were injured when the tree, 40m tall and 6.5m in girth, collapsed on Saturday afternoon near the Shaw Foundation Symphony Stage.

In response to the “increasingly unpredictable and severe weather conditions”, inspections of trees along expressways and major roads have been stepped up, said Dr Leong.

Previously done once every 12 to 18 months, depending on tree species, size and location, the frequency of inspections has been increased to once every six to 12 months since 2012.

And yearly “detailed second-level inspections” of old trees more than 4m in girth have been in place since November.

Experts said the definition of old trees varies from species to species, as each species matures at a different pace. According to arborist Ng Tze Ping of TP Arbo Care, Tembusu trees in Singapore older than 50 years can be considered old.

SINGAPORE - In a second such incident in days, a woman was taken to hospital on Monday (Feb 13) after a tree fell in a carpark on Yuan Ching Road.

In photos sent to The Straits Times, a tree appears to have fallen on the open passenger door of a lorry, crushing its window.

The Singapore Civil Defence Force said that it received a call about the incident at about 2.30pm on Monday.

It said one person was taken to Ng Teng Fong Hospital, although no details were given about injuries.

The tree fell in the carpark of a block student apartments and the woman injured was was visiting one of the tenants. She is understood to be a 48-year-old Malaysian.

Ms Alicia Poon, who manages the student apartments, said she was in her office when the accident happened. When she got to the carpark, a woman was lying on the floor, in pain.

There was no blood but the victim groaned in pain as she was helped onto the ambulance, she said.

"Luckily, the lorry door took most of the weight," she said. "Otherwise, the tree would have fallen directly on her."

As of Monday evening, the victim was still undergoing treatment at the hospital.

Ms Poon, who is in her late 40s, said that this was the second time a tree has fallen there. The earlier case happened last year, and no one was injured.

She was concerned as there are many residents and visitors to the apartments, including professors and researchers.

"What happens if a scholar is injured, many are from other countries," she told The Straits Times. "The authorities should look into the safety of old trees."

There are about 10 mature trees of the same breed in the area, she added.

This is the second such incident to take place here in a matter of days.

Most recent jialat happening. Ordered flowers online last week to send to my 2IC in her office yesterday for Valentine's Day. End up no sound no nothing. Now my 2IC is angry with me and I kena cheated of my money. Most jialat thing is, I went to their facebook page and realized Im not the only one! Other bros who are overseas and ordered in advance, like in Jan, for the V Day flowers also kena cheated.

Not sure if any of the bros who suffered the same fate as me are in this forum anot.
