This will be part of the effort being mounted to save the Malayan tiger.

The Royal Malaysia Police have agreed to assist Department of Wildlife and National Parks rangers in carrying out patrols in the jungle.

“I will make an announcement on the joint operation with the police in the near future while cooperation with the Malaysian Armed Forces is still in negotiation as it involves technical issues,” he told reporters after opening the Save The Malayan Tiger Campaign in Taiping today. “For example, poachers encroached into our country through the border of Thailand and Perak to hunt for our tigers. The Royal Belum Forest in Gerik is the largest forest reserve and many tigers live in the forest,” he said.

“During that period, 162 poachers were arrested for various offences involving protected wildlife species and 14 tigers were illegally hunted and captured in snares,” he said.
