'The 100 Million Tree-Planting Campaign should... work closely with local authorities and encourage them to preserve as many existing trees as possible.' - Koo Wee Hon

I REFER to the Star Lifestyle article “Not out of the woods” .

What is worse is that the felled trees are not being replaced. Some trees near my house were cut down nearly two years ago but new ones haven’t been planted to replace them till today. Reduction of tree cover in urban areas will turn the environment into a heatsink. Without the cooling effect of trees, air conditioning powered by fuel that emits greenhouse gas will be needed to cool homes, shops and workplaces.

Provide incentives or rebates to those who are willing to have trees planted outside their homes, especially terrace houses. Impose heavy penalties on those who cut down trees without valid reasons.
