KOTA KINABALU: Nostalgic Penampang folk and history buffs would be relieved to know that the five rain trees in Kasigui in Penampang, about 10km from here, will not be chopped down as initially planned after all.
There was a campaign launched last December to stop a road expansion project from steamrolling over a little colonial-era trading post in Kasigui of which there was now only a small marketplace, a coffee shop and the five rain trees estimated to be between 80 and 100 years old.
“I was told during the meeting this morning that the department’s current road widening plans will not involve the cutting down of the five rain trees,” he told reporters, after an event here on Thursday . District JKR engineer Nelliah Sitor was quoted by local paper the Daily Express on Friday as saying the road expansion project was well underway but that the rain trees will be left untouched due to strong public objections.
