Terengganu bans hunting of flying fox


PETALING JAYA: There will be no more hunting of Malayan flying fox in Terengganu. The ban follows a state government decision to stop issuing new hunting licences for the species.

This makes Terengganu the third state in the country to ban hunting of the bat, after Sarawak (in 1998) and Johor (2010).
