These 'botak' trees could fall and injure passers-by

STOMPer arborist worries that these trees, which have lost all their leaves, are unstable and may fall and injure passers-by anytime.

This STOMPer says:

"These pictures were taken at Blk 37 Sin Ming Drive near a funeral parlour.

"The trees are completely "botak" and only some ferns (Pyrrosia piloselloides) could be seen growing on the trunk and branches.

"I fear that during a rainstorm the trees may come crashing down and the consequences could be disastrous.

"The trees, if toppled, could damage the shops or cause injury to passers-by."

Arborist or Abotak, whatever it is, aren't u paranoid or what? If u're so afraid of the branches dropping on ur botak head, stay home under ur blanket and rot away. Silly bugger!
