Conservation of the orang utan is the responsibility of all Malaysians, even if the great apes are only found in Sabah and Sarawak.
Plantation and Commodities Ministry secretary-general Datuk Yusran Shah Mohd Yusof said it was important to hold awareness activities in Peninsular Malaysia to instil a sense of shared responsibility about the great ape.
