GERIK: Perak’s forestry laws should be amended in accordance with the National Forestry Act to protect the Malayan tiger, says Natural Resources, Environment and Climate Change Minister Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad.

He said the amendments should include the replacement of permanent forest reserves and the public hearing process, which must be done after forest land has been degazetted.
