KOTA TINGGI: Three men, including a cancer patient, who were caught with the carcass of a female Malayan tiger inside their MPV’s boot, have been jailed seven years each and fined RM250,000.
The three did not have a permit to have the Malayan tiger, which is a fully protected species under the Wildlife Conservation Act 2010 (Act 716). This is the first case to be prosecuted since amendments to the Act took effect on Feb 1, 2023.
