RM9mil in pangolin scales seized after tip-offs


SEPANG: At least 1,400 adult pangolins must have been killed by poachers to yield the 712kg of scales seized by the Customs Department.

The scales, shipped from two locations in Africa, in 18 gunny sacks, were labelled “general products” and “dry herbs” in an attempt to escape detection by the authorities.
