According to him, bougainvillea is chosen because it has a high absorption capacity for air pollution. Its maintenance is also relatively easy since it doesn't need a lot of water.
"Besides median strip, we will also plant shade trees in public cemetery (TPU) and public housing (rusun) such as mahogany, fern leaf tree (Filicium decipiens), tabebuia, and rain tree (samanea saman)," he informed.
