In Singapore the output from the five mangrove reserves was 3,068 tons as 
against 1,617 tons in 1912, the increase was due to the conversion of the tops of the 
trees cut for engine fuel into small firewood. 
The outturn of firewood from the Tanjong Burong Reserve in the Dindings was 
3,362,285 billets. 
In Malacca the output of Class I trees was 578, as compared with 988 trees in 
1912. These were selected and marked by the Forest Ranger. Class II trees were 
also removed, but no figures are available.
