TAIPING: A 130-year-old raintree, which began leaning over about three years ago, has to be cut down soon due to its decaying state.

“The time has come for the tree here in Lake Gardens to be felled. Its rings will be preserved as a sculpture along the 630m Raintree Walk,” said Taiping Municipal Council president Khairul Amir Mohamad Zubir (pic).
