KUCHING: Take illegal loggers and wildlife offenders to court. That is the direction that Tan Sri Richard Malanjum wants relevant enforcement agencies to take.

The Chief Judge of Sabah and Sarawak said so far no cases of illegal logging had been registered with the courts since Sarawak’s crackdown on illegal logging began last year.
