COMMEMORATION days do two things – they give us a chance to celebrate the good, and remind us that we can always do better. World Pangolin Day, observed on Feb 16 this year, was a classic example of this.

About a week before, on Feb 7, Malaysia witnessed its most significant win against pangolin trafficking when the police and Sabah Wildlife Depart­ment (SWD) shut down a pangolin processing factory and warehouse, seizing a monumental 30 tonnes of pangolin and their parts.
