Thean Hou road now concrete, no longer green

The road up to the Thean Hou temple in KL is very steep. It used to be nice and green with trees and vegetation. Then in March 2012 there were a series of landslides along that area.

After the landslides, some of the large trees were removed and the slopes just covered in the blue plastic so commonly seen on hillslopes in Malaysia.
June 2012 -

 New plastic Jan 2013 -

Mar 2013 on the road up to the temple, the vegetation has been cleared -
