PETALING JAYA, July 19 — The Wildlife and National Parks Department has captured one of the two tigers that were spotted strolling casually in a village in Dungun, Terengganu yesterday. Water, Land and Natural Resources Minister Dr A. Xavier Jayakumar confirmed that one of the tigers has been caught and in safe hands.

“The tiger is in good health. It is currently under the supervision of a veterinary officer as well as Perhilitan staff and is expected to be transferred to the National Wildlife Rescue Centre as soon as possible,” he said in a statement that was posted on the department’s Facebook page today.Xavier said search efforts for the remaining tiger, believed to still be in a forest nearby, are still ongoing.

He reportedly said that based on the tigers’ tame behaviour, the department believes that the tigers were set free to wander into the jungle by their owner before they got lost and entered the village.
