I WAS truly heartbroken and saddened at the sight of the Malayan Tiger – which once stood majestic – being reduced to butchered meat. 

It brought tears to my eyes but these were not only tears of sadness. I am disappointed, appalled and extremely outraged that poaching is going on rampantly under the noses of the authorities entrusted to guard the flora and fauna in our rainforest, which is one of the oldest in the world.
