JOHOR BAHRU — A brazen attempt to smuggle wild birds from Singapore into Malaysia via a car through the Causeway was thwarted last month by the Johor Wildlife and National Parks Department .
“Checks at the passenger seat of the vehicle found that the wild birds involved four figs, three blue and golden macaws, a yellow-headed amazon and three red macaws,” Mr Jamin said in a statement Wednesday . He said checks on the 47-year-old man found that he did not have valid documents for the birds, causing him to be detained by the police after a report was made against him.
Mr Aminuddin added that the Johor Perhilitan is serious and committed to conserving the country’s biodiversity and eradicating wildlife crime. This has made Malaysia among the top 10 smuggling hubs in the region, together with the Philippines, Indonesia, Singapore and Vietnam.
