A Malaysian national, Mr Lee Kar Choon, was riding his motorcycle along Admiralty Road West when a tree branch fell and caused him to be flung off his vehicle. He lapsed into a coma and was found to have sustained serious head injuries. Lee currently remains in a vegetative state and continues to receive treatment in Ipoh.
Lee’s wife and sister is now seeking damages against NParks for pain and suffering, medical costs and loss of earnings, on the basis of alleged negligence for failing to conduct regular pruning exercises of trees. Lee is represented by our lawyer, N. Srinivasan.
