Ms Loke Xiao Li, 38, was a senior technical coordinator at Channel NewsAsia studio. The Singapore Civil Defence Force said it was alerted to the incident at about 8.15am and found a person trapped under a fallen tree. Its officers used cutting equipment to extricate her but she was pronounced dead at the scene by a paramedic. The police and National Parks Board are investigating the incident. https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/woman-killed-by-fallen-tree-in-woodlands[25/2/2021 9:43:13 AM] Woman killed by falling tree in Marsiling Park; last inspection by NParks in April 2020, Singapore News & Top Stories - The Straits Times Dr Leong Chee Chiew, commissioner of parks and recreation at NParks, said the 20m-tall Araucaria excelsa tree, which has a girth of 1.3m, was about 20 years old and was found to be healthy when it was last inspected in April last year. Its next inspection was due in October, he added. "We are sad that there was one fatality. Our priority now is to accord assistance to the family of the deceased," he said. According to eyewitnesses, a loud crack was heard just before the tree fell, pinning Ms Loke under it. About 10 people at the park tried to lift the tree but were unsuccessful. Secondary 3 student Kayden Teo, 15, said he and a friend were among those who tried to help. Noting it was sunny and not windy at the time, he said: "We were walking across the bridge (over the lake) and heard a loud crack and a splash. A tall tree fell and we ran over to help a woman who was stuck underneath it." Apart from police and emergency services officers, the park was mostly empty on Thursday morning when The Straits Times visited. A large section of a walkway had been cordoned off and a blue tent was seen on the path. A large blue tarpaulin was used to cover the area where the tree had fallen, and part of the tree was in the lake. NParks personnel investigating fallen tree in Marsiling Park More on this topic Related Story Woman killed by falling tree in Marsiling Park was wearing noise-cancelling earbuds Dr Leong noted that with the strengthening of NParks' tree management regime over the years, the annual number of tree incidents has fallen from about 3,100 cases in year 2001 to about 420 in 2019 and around 340 cases last year. "NParks inspectors, many of whom are certified arborists, are trained to examine trees in a rigorous and systematic manner, by assessing their overall form, roots, trunks, branches and crown," he said, adding that trees are generally inspected once in six to 24 months, with the frequency depending on the locality and age of trees. NParks' tree management regime includes inspection and operations such as pruning, pest management, transplanting and risk management, he added. Trees are regularly pruned to improve their structure and balance, and this is stepped up during periods of adverse weather conditions to reduce the risk of tree failure incidents, said Dr Leong. Ms Loke Xiao Li, 38, was trapped under the fallen tree. PHOTOS: HILMI JAMIL, DAWN KAREN TAN/FACEBOOK Dr Shawn Lum, a senior lecturer at the Nanyang Technological University's Asian School of the Environment who has 30 years of experience studying trees, cannot recall hearing about prior incidents of Araucaria excelsa trees, also known as the Norfolk Island pine, falling. He told ST: "I don't think it was a case of (NParks) neglecting a tree that's known to be a danger to the public... NParks has experienced people using very state-of-the-art equipment, which makes the incident even more unfortunate and quite baffling." After seeing pictures and video clips of the fallen tree, Dr Lahiru Wijedasa, a former senior arborist with Singapore Botanic Gardens, said the tree looked "healthy and vigorous", and it is unlikely that structural failures could have been detected. He added: "It's a structural failure here, so whether it was windy or not, the tree had been compromised and would eventually have failed. "If you want a city with trees to cool the city, there is always an inherent risk, and we can only minimise the risk, not eliminate it." https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/woman-killed-by-fallen-tree-in-woodlands[25/2/2021 9:43:13 AM] Woman killed by falling tree in Marsiling Park; last inspection by NParks in April 2020, Singapore News & Top Stories - The Straits Times NParks personnel investigating the scene of the fallen tree at Marsiling Park, on Feb 18, 2021. ST PHOTO: GAVIN FOO In a Facebook post, Senior Minister of State for Manpower Zaqy Mohamad, who is an MP for Marsiling-Yew Tee GRC, expressed his condolences to the family of Ms Loke, who is a resident in his ward. "While investigations are ongoing, I have asked NParks to check and review the condition of the trees and the safety of facilities in the area," he wrote. He said he also uses the park, adding: "It is important that we do our utmost to ensure safety of all users of Marsiling Park." Dr Leong said as a precautionary measure, NParks checked the trees in Marsiling Park on Thursday. "The park remains open and is safe for the public to visit," he added. More on this topic Related Story 1 killed, 4 injured after huge Tembusu tree falls at Botanic Gardens Related Story 14 people taken to hospital after tree falls in Sembawang Park Friends of Ms Loke, who knew her as "Dag", were shocked to hear of the accident and her death. They told ST she was a motorbike lover and had started exercising recently to keep to a New Year resolution. Mr Wang Yinghao, 33, an employee at a motorcycle shop, described her as friendly and easy-going. "She used to come to the shop I work at once a month to do maintenance work on her Yamaha FZ15oi bike," he said. He added: "She was a very nice person... We would talk about our work life and motorcycles whenever she came in." Ms Loke was with Mediacorp for almost six years, the broadcaster said, adding it has reached out to her family to offer condolences and support. It said in a statement: "She was someone that many of her teammates and colleagues looked up to." One of Ms Loke's former colleagues in the media industry for two years, who declined to be named, said she took great pride in her work. He added: "She took the effort to get to know people outside of the work setting and they would confide in her."

  • NSS Bird Group Report – Sept 2019
    NSS Bird Group Report – Sept 2019 September 2019 marked the appearance of rarities such as the Glossy Ibis, Black-naped Monarch, Blue Rock Thrush, and Japanese Paradise Flycatcher; as well as the first arrivals of many migrants. Glossy Ibis Sighting Photo-montage of the Glossy Ibis at Kranji Dam on 29 September 2019 by Goh Cheng Teng The Glossy Ibis, Plegadis falcinellus, is a widely distributed species that is found in Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, Central and North America. However, it is a very rare vagrant in Singapore. The sighting on 28 and 29 September 2019 by Raghav and Goh Cheng Teng, respectively, was our fifth sighting to date. Prior sightings were at Lorong Halus in 12-16 June 1984, Sungei Buloh in May 1989, Sime Road in October 1992, and November 2007. Wells (1999: 107) noted that the species is a vagrant in Peninsular Malaysia and highlighted that the sightings in 1984 and 1989 may have been wild sightings; captive birds were ruled out since the sightings comprised of adults and juveniles. Traded birds tended to be of a uniform age, since birds would be taken as fledglings. Central Catchment Nature Reserve (CCNR) & Fringes Possibly first for the season, a Forest Wagtail, Dendronanthus indicus, was spotted in flight on 2 September 2019 at Jelutong Tower by Francis Yap. Another was spotted within CCNR on 6 September 2019 by Dillen Ng; who also spotted an Arctic Warbler, Phylloscopus borealis, on the same day. Also on 6 September 2019, an Eastern Crowned Warbler, Phylloscopus coronatus, was spotted at Jelutong by Francis Yap.

A Himalayan Vulture was photographed in flight at Marina East on the 30th, a Black Kite photographed at Changi Boardwalk on the 31st, and an Oriental Scops Owl photographed at the vicinity of Hindhede Nature Park on the 30th. The wintering juvenile Rufous-bellied Eagle was spotted at Dairy Farm Nature Park on the 6th and 31st. Only one Chinese Sparrowhawk was recorded, at Telok Blangah Hill Park on the 3rd. Two Jerdon’s Baza were still around the Changi Business Park canal in January. Page 1 of 12 Singapore Raptor Report – Jan 2021 Four Western Ospreys were around at the northern areas, thirteen Peregrine Falcons were recorded, often perched on buildings. Of the 61 migrant Oriental Honey Buzzards, one at Changi Business Park on the 17th & 18th appeared to be a juvenile ruficollis. Finally, there were 15 Japanese Sparrowhawks, and 37 Black Bazas. White-bellied Sea Eagle, in flight with a half-eaten prey (possibly an eel), SBWR, 16 Jan 2021, by Teo Chee Yong. Highlights for sedentary species: Breeding-related activities were noted for four species. Two chicks of the Brahminy Kite were observed on a nest at West Coast Park on the 23rd.

  • Singapore Raptor Report January 2020
    Singapore Raptor Report January 2020 Himalayan Vulture, near The Pinnacle@Duxton, 9 Jan 2020, by Bp Chua Summary for migrant species: The Himalayan Vultures stole the show in January. Amazingly, a total of 12 immature vultures showed up, besting the previous high of 9 immature birds in January 1992. On the 8th, one vulture was photographed at The Pinnacle@Duxton at 2:24pm, flying east, and another two were photographed at Cashew Road at 2:45pm. At 6:25pm, a flock of ten vultures, initially mistaken for Asian Openbills, were photographed at Bedok, flying towards Siglap. Shortly after 7pm, up to 11 vultures were captured on video flying at the Tanjong Pagar area around Amara Hotel and The Pinnacle@Duxton. One vulture even landed on the roads - Peck Seah Street & Maxwell Road, causing vehicles to slow down and avoid the bird. Members of the public expressed shock in seeing such a huge bird, which eventually flew off to safety. The vultures must have roosted on the tall building in the Tanjong Pagar area as they were spotted on top of the buildings on the morning of the 9th. Twelve vultures were spotted and after 9am, they took flight, heading south towards Sentosa, but then turned back, probably dreading to fly over the open sea. By around 11am, eleven vultures were spotted flying over Fort Canning Park and by noon time, twelve vultures were spotted at Dairy Farm Nature Park – they were heading north. Page 1 of 13 There were no sightings of the vultures on the 10th. Then on the 11th, nine vultures were spotted at West Coast Park in the afternoon, flying west.

  • MEDIA RELEASE Marsiling Park Opens with Enhanced Mangrove
    MEDIA RELEASE Marsiling Park opens with enhanced mangrove habitat and new recreational experiences for the community - Former Woodlands Town Garden enhanced with suggestions from the community Singapore, 29 April 2018 – The National Parks Board (NParks) today opened Marsiling Park, formerly known as Woodlands Town Garden, after 22 months of enhancement works. As a result of close consultation with the community during the design process, the park now offers a range of new day and night experiences for visitors to enjoy. Enhancements have also been sensitively made to the mangrove area to allow visitors to get closer to nature as well as for biodiversity to thrive. Mr Lawrence Wong, Minister for National Development, Second Minister for Finance and Adviser to Marsiling-Yew Tee GRC Grassroots Organisations (GROs), officiated at the opening of Marsiling Park this morning, together with the other Advisers to Marsiling-Yew Tee GRC GROs. Over 800 residents attended the community event organised by Marsiling Citizens’ Consultative Committee (CCC), which was held in conjunction with the park opening. Enhancing the park with the community The approximately 13 ha park is located near Marsiling MRT Station. Opened in 1983 as Woodlands Town Garden, the park holds many memories for residents in the area. To help create greater community ownership for the park, a public renaming exercise of the park was held by the Marsiling Citizens’ Consultative Committee in 2016. Then, the residents expressed a strong interest in the renaming and the name Marsiling Park was eventually chosen. During the consultation exercises, residents indicated the need for more activity spaces and facilities to inject greater interest and vibrancy to the park, and shared that they would like to enjoy the park even in the evenings.
