All firearm licences granted for the ownership of rifles will be revoked in stages, according to Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Abdul Hamid Bador .

“The move was initiated after the weapon was identified to be the most popular hunting tool among poachers,” he toldAt the same time he said there was fear that the firearms could fall into the hands of militant groups and the police have stopped granting approval for the firearm licence. The issue of wildlife poaching began to gain attention when two Pygmy Borneo elephants were found dead in Sabah on Sept 25 and Oct 17, with their tusks removed, which led people to believe they had been attacked by poachers.
