They will grow back again: Jurong resident who had plants cut down by town council

The spokesman said: “The town council, together with other relevant government agencies, had urged the resident on multiple occasions to do proper housekeeping, and remove the plants if necessary.

The spokesman added that while the town council understood Mr Kang’s wish to keep his plants, they stressed that it was important for residents to keep their plants well-ordered to avoid posing any danger to the public or their health. All that remained in the balcony were the sawed-off stumps of the plants in a structure attached to the wall that Mr Kang said he constructed himself.

Mr Kang had told Shin Min Daily News earlier that his plants were similarly trimmed about two or three years ago, and believed someone had complained then.
