KOTA KINABALU: The Sabah Wildlife Department is offering a RM10,000 reward for any valid information leading to the capture of poachers who killed two Borneo Pygmy Elephants, including one with a rare "sabre-tooth" appearance.

"Our investigators have some leads. We believe the reward will bring us more information,'' said its director Augustine Tuuga.
