GUA MUSANG: The family members of Halim Asin, who died from a tiger attack on Tuesday, are hoping that the Wildlife and National Parks Department (Perhilitan) can track and capture the wild animal.
The victim's father, Asin Parang, 68, said he and his family found it difficult to forget the tragedy that claimed the life of Halim, the fourth of six siblings.
He expressed anger at the animal which killed his son.
"Humans are getting attacked (by the tiger). I hope the tiger goes far away from this village," he said when met by reporters at his home in Kampung Aring 5 here.
Asin said his family members are staying at home as they were traumatised by the tiger attack that occurred when they were on their way back to Kampung Aring 6.
Meanwhile, Gua Musang district police chief Supt Sik Choon Food said a physical examination revealed bite marks on the victim's neck and a team from Perhilitan was still investigating the scene.
"The post-mortem examination was carried out at 11am on Saturday (May 13). We are still waiting for the report," he said.
Earlier, the media reported that Halim Asin, 27, from the Bateq tribe, was attacked by a tiger while fishing with his eight-year-old nephew Alang Kuang in the upper reaches of Sungai Aring.
At 5.10 pm on Friday (May 12), the rescue team found the body of an Orang Asli man on a tree stump in Kuala Sungai Tunggul about 2km from the scene of the attack. – Bernama
