Nparks will tell you that their tree is healthy and in good condition again. And they could not control the weather.

Spot on! Typical of civil service.

On a serious note, look at the condition of the tree, more than half the branches of the tree have no leaves, the root also seems quite bad  , no new  small root except the few miserable large ones that have been snapped, indicating that the tree was at the verge of dying  for a while, Npark didnt take action quick enough to remove the tree.

Whenever trees fell, so far i think never see Nparks admitted that their trees are bad, thats why the tree fell and hit someone or some vehicle lo?!

I don't think NPark has so many employees to walk around. But I thought we have very active CCC or RC members? What are these people doing? Walkabout with MP only ? It is like what they should do didn't do, what don't need them they are everywhere.  Haha

Actually the more effective way should be for the public to alert them of potentially dangerous trees, maybe we all should try that and see how it goes, I will start to report unhealthy trees if I see any from now on.

after kanna profma against you.. heheheh

ok.. what you need to do here is ensure at the point of the accident to keep the branch of the tree. Obviously, if the tree has fallen and too huge to keep in your boot, you need t call NEA and take the picture.

What NEA does next is to inspect the tree to check on rotting. They will also pull up the schedule of the tree for maintenance as well as get the contractor to verify that work was done.

The problem arises when the cutting and pruning of trees are done and residents compliant of noise is when there will be schedule disruption and everything turns topsy turvy with everyone's fault and nobodies fault.

Insurance claim kicks in after the Metrior services provide a report and it is furnished to the insurance before a claim is processed. As you all know this is like discussing religion now. Whether it Christian or Buddhist, it's entirely a discussion and it quickly results in a decision where you may or may not get the claim.

We are not expert le, we might think that tree is unhealthy but Nparks might think otherwise?! 🙄 I think Nparks got say before that they have daily maintenance on all their trees. Thats why when trees fell, they always say their trees no problem. Lol.

1 killed, 4 injured after huge Tembusu tree falls at Botanic Gardens

While this is an old case, how to argue negligence ? 

Its just unfortunate is all I can say.

Few years ago along Bkt. Timah a branch fell, bounced off my bonnet, hit the top of my windscreen and disappeared.

"Tree is healthy...… very bad weather." etc.

In the end I got an insurance quote and sent to NEA or NP and got $200 to cover the damage, after a few tries.

My friend is of the opinion that our trees are not planted with deep roots. That has resulted in tree toppled when face with strong wind
