Speaking at the launch of the Save Our Malayan Tiger campaign, as part of events to mark the International World Wildlife Day, Minister of Water, Land and Natural Resources Xavier Jeyakumar said his ministry, through its wildlife enforcement agency, would work with the Malaysian armed forces and Home Ministry to increase its presence in the areas where poachers operated. The ministry said that the Malayan tiger, a subspecies of the big cat lives in Southern Thailand and Malaysia, had seen its numbers dwindle to an estimated 250 in the wild in Malaysia due to poaching and loss of habitat.
