<!-- START OF : div id="storytext"--><!-- more than 4 paragraphs -->I REFER to yesterday's report, 'House owner fined $6,000 for cutting down 3 trees'. If trees are diseased and are of a common species, such as mango or rambutan, it is unjust to fine a home owner for felling them, especially as his contractor had reassured him that it was okay to do so.
The National Parks Board should be more sympathetic to the home owner's case.
The authorities should remind home owners of the rule prohibiting tree felling, when property transactions involving designated tree conservation areas take place.

you vote a govt that makes use of the tax that you pay to punish you.

Only a balless sinkie will allow that. I am glad that i stay away from sinkies.
