95 YEARS OLD JELUTUNG TREE

This rare Jelutung (Dvera Consulata) tree is 95 years old.
To conserve it the position of the Tower was shifted to avoid the tree, and a series of soldier piles
was installed as a retaining wall during the foundation excavation period to prevent the tree from topping.
The conservation of the tree by perceptive planning and construction methods, incurring a total cost of
RM 430,000.00, permits this natural rarity to be enjoyed by our future generations. (1996)
