</TR><!-- headline one : end --><!-- show image if available --></TBODY></TABLE>




<!-- START OF : div id="storytext"--><DIV class=story_text><!-- more than 4 paragraphs -->OUT of concern for the safety of my family and the residents in my neighbourhood, I engaged an arborist, at my own cost, to check on a roadside tree just outside my house compound.
He found the tree to be structurally weak and recommended felling due to probable tree branch failure. This was communicated to the National Parks Board (NParks) for permission to fell the tree, but the request was rejected on the grounds that the tree was worth conserving.
Tree branches have fallen on several occasions. On April 23, one of the main trunks fell into my compound, damaging my landscaped garden. NParks was notified to fell the tree for the safety of the residents in the neighbourhood and to compensate for the damage to my garden.
NParks' reply was: "In our opinion, we believe that strong gusty winds caused the failure of the co-dominant tree trunk. Based on the foregoing, the incident was totally unforeseeable and beyond the control of NParks. There was no negligence on the part of NParks."
Where is the consideration for the safety of the property and people living around this tree or the disregard for the opinion of an independent professional arborist?

Wonder what these Chinese Christian terrorists we mean fundamentalists say when their own Christians die by "Acts of God", that mortal insurers won't even cover.

"Oh he is as poor as a church mouse so God won't bother with the likes of him."

"He fell out of God's favor. Simple."

"She did not pay last month's tithes to our church so he deserved it."

"It's the will of God." (100% very convenient statement to cover up what these rubbish don't have the wisdom to know or explain even in the slightest - God's sheep are so dumb!)

Etc.
