R.AGE goes undercover to expose pangolin trafficking

A pangolin rescued from an online wildlife trader is handed over to Perhilitan officers.

PETALING JAYA: The Star’s R.AGE team has been working to expose the underground world of pangolin trafficking since its exclusive report on Sept 25, which revealed the involvement of a group of corrupt Malaysian policemen in the international pangolin smuggling trade.

The report was part of an international investigation by the Global Environmental Reporting Collective (GERC), which triggered an investigation by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).
