Sabah declares war on wildlife poaching: "The war on illegal wildlife trade and poaching has just began, so hunters and poachers in Sabah be warned that there will be no compromise as we will be prosecuting and we will charge them to the highest extent of the law. Be ready to be jailed,” As I said previously, we need an aggressive education, monitoring, awareness, enforcement and develop integrity. Corruption, low pay, demand for money, standard of living of locals all contributing to illegal hunting. Sabah Government commitment in protecting wildlife must be supported by all.
