“I have always assumed that those making decisions at all levels of the government machinery have common sense and they are expected to fully use it so that they make correct decision.”

Minister of Tourism, Culture and Environment Datuk Masidi Manjun
His short message reply on the fate of the 100-year-old tree in Tanom

" Tenom has decided to kill the golden goose that could potentially bring tourism to these heritage sites.....”

PKR Sabah secretary, Dr Roland Chia

“On the one hand, Sabah state government is spending a lot of money to plant trees as it wants to tell the world that we want a green state. On the other hand, a local authority has chopped down a 100-year-old tree.”

Environment activist, Dr CY Vun

European and Asian countries took great pains and spend great amount of funds to preserve heritage sites in order to leave behind a legacy for their future generations and also because such sites were deemed touristic historical sites.

The only reasonable justification to cut down a century old tree was public safety and no alternative treatment.

The felling of the tree to make way for a public toilet by Tenom District Council had defeated the government’s effort to turn Sabah into a green state. The tree could be worth more than RM1 million since it’s older than the 90-year-old rain tree at Wisma Muis which has an estimated worth of RM600,000.
