    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I believe when we are benchmarking, when our government conceptualizes these projects, they do so in reference to other best practices and standards internationally. Just the other day, through some Committee activities, I happened to have been in Malaysia. If you drive from the airport on a very expansive road all the way to Kuala Lumpur, you will be surprised to think that you are driving through a plantation of mangroves and palm trees. The extent to which that government goes to preserve--- Indeed, I was surprised that even for the road infrastructure around such constructions, such as billboards, it is mandatory that they should be higher than the trees. There is no provision that you cut a tree to put up a billboard. The billboard should be above the trees, and people will see it there. That is how seriously they take their trees and all the plants around infrastructure projects. Unless we agree that we need to have and develop such standards, then we cannot get there."
