<!-- START OF : div id="storytext"--><!-- more than 4 paragraphs -->THE private estate I live in in the Thomson area is in the throes of a massive tree felling exercise which is questionable.
Early this year, my neighbourhood, comprising terrace and semi-detached houses, began estate upgrading work. Existing open drains are being covered to turn them into footpaths. In conjunction, new trees are to be planted in place of existing mature trees, more than 90 per cent of which are healthy. Unless the occupants of a unit specifically ask to keep a tree immediately outside,�the National Parks Board (NParks) will remove all these healthy mature trees at the behest of the estate upgrading committee.�
I have complained to the committee and to my Member of Parliament but to no avail.
Apart from the threat of dengue, the reasons to destroy the trees do not hold water.
NParks has told me it has no jurisdiction over this matter, as it has no policy to overrule residents' application for tree removal. Why is this so? Why does it not have jurisdiction over trees along streets and outside private homes?

The same warped reasoning pertaining to it being OK for the Papayas to be stationed inside polling stations to intimidate the voters?

Chan Sek Kiong was then the Attorney General. During the 1997 elections, the Workers' Party had alleged that Mr Goh Chok Tong, Dr Tony Tan and BG Lee Hsien Loong had been inside a polling station on polling day and had thereby committed an offence. Surprisingly, the PAP leaders did not deny their presence there (realising, I presume, the futility of attempting to deny the undeniable). It was then left to the Attorney General to diligently lay down an interpretation of the offence of loitering under the Parliamentary Elections Act that is perhaps the furthest that the elasticity of logic be pushed to without losing its pedigree as logic.

The AG stated as follows:
7. Section 82 (1)(d) provides that - "No person shall wait outside any polling station on polling day, except for the purpose of gaining entry to the polling station to cast his vote".

8. Plainly, persons found waiting inside the polling stations do not come within the ambit of this section. Similarly, those who enter or have entered the polling station cannot be said to be waiting outside it. Only those who wait outside the polling station commit an offence under this section unless they are waiting to enter the polling station to cast their votes.
