At least one car badly damaged/crushed by the tree. Can claim from Nparks? Act of God. LPPL.

Cant it be act of nature?

Heng, no human casualty. Only property damage.

I'm sorry, but "God" neither planted that tree nor paved a parking lot there. 

Sue the freakin gahmen. Cannot anyhow no blame culture for everything. 🙄

Looks like tree break off at root section.

Have to do own damage claims.

I will avoid parking diagonally toward a tree from now on.

I park there when I go TPY Lor 4 / 5.

They were still clearing up when I was there yesterday afternoon for my fishball noodles at Blk 75.

With Singapore has so many trees and trees are getting older and older. I think government might want to consider to have a platform that people is able to feedback to national parks/nea more easilly with just a touch of a button through hp and take pictures. Like for the tree case, if people could feedback at their fingertip, then perhaps will encourage more people to feedback if they spot something like the tree seems like rotting. Their feedback might save people lives and or property.

I always avoid parking under trees - more because of bird droppings - especially at dusk.

cannot see is uproot or trunk break off.

alot of cases of uproots is simply the tree overgrown.

the shallow layer of soil dun let the tree roots grow down deep.

How can it be a shallow layer of soil?

The problem arose from mature tree transplanting.

Trim branches.  So that the tree will not be top-heavy.
