Trees vs Concrete

Last few days ago, I was driving home from office. I saw the city council peoples are cutting down all the old trees. These trees are aged more than 50 to 100 years. It is very sad as those trees are consider one of the oldest trees in KL in Jalan Ampang which also consider one of the oldest road in KL.

Now, I see the city council re-planting "miniature" plants which die easily. They just have to re-plant again every year. They rather do the easy way out that than trimming the old tree branches yearly.

Yes, miniature plants are more presentable to look at, but trees are move valuable. With the KL weather so bloody hot, it is so hard to walk with no shade around which can be offered easily by these old trees. Try to walk across the street with an umbrella is like walking inside an oven. So disappointed to see KL city will be all concrete with no trees around. It should have balance of everything in 1 place. Too bad to know the city council have lazy asses with short sighted vision.
