PETALING JAYA: As Malaysia faces Global Tiger Day with a rapidly-diminishing tiger population, experts are calling for more patrolling and a multi-ministry tiger committee in an effort to halt the decline.

“We’ve reached a critical stage - we’re losing our tigers at quick pace and we need to stop the bleeding. We need thousands of boots on the ground to go and patrol the forests,” said Traffic South-East Asia director Kanitha Krishnasamy.
