: The Malayan tiger, scientifically known as Panthera Tigris Jacksoni, is the only subspecies of tiger that still exists in the world and the animal is only found in Malaysia.

However, this was refuted by the Kelantan Wildlife and National Parks Department director Mohamad Hafid Rohani.“A Malayan Tiger will not go near, but will run away when it is in conflict with humans or smells them,” he said when met by Bernama, recently. “Usually these Malayan tigers will attack humans when they are threatened by humans themselves, like when they are being hunted, lost their natural habitat and food sources.Mohamad Hafid said a total of 63 reports on tigers were received by the Kelantan Wildlife between 2015 and 2021 and none involved humans mauled to death by a tiger.

During the period, he said, only one tiger was caught, which was last year in Kampung Badak near Pos Bihai, in Gua Musang, and the animal was handed over to the National Wildlife Rescue Center in Sungkai, Perak.
