SINGAPORE : Residents in Jurong West now have their own central park.

South West District Mayor, Dr Amy Khor, was at Jurong Central Park on Wednesday to help 30 staff from travel company Abacus International plant 200 native trees.

The event launched the company's efforts to help the environment by cutting carbon emissions.

It is also part of the Plant-A-Tree programme by the Singapore Environment Council and the Garden City Fund, a fund-raising arm of the National Parks Board.

It also ties in with the South West Community Development Council's aim to plant 100,000 native plants. - CNA/ms
