KUALA LUMPUR: The ringgit opened flat against the US dollar today as looming risks surrounding next week’s US election kept investors cautious.
PUTRAJAYA: Authorities must strengthen the enforcement of wildlife protection laws and tighten inspection and monitoring procedures, to prevent the smuggling of endangered animals through airports.
"The EAIC will investigate the root causes of the weaknesses in the current surveillance and enforcement system, and propose proactive measures to improve the situation. This will help uphold the integrity of enforcement officers and enhance the protection of endangered species,” he told Bernama recently.
A source from the Department of Wildlife and National Parks Peninsular Malaysia revealed that, based on intelligence, smuggling syndicates often use hired ‘mules’ to transport animals into the country, on commercial flights from abroad. Meanwhile, Ismail said EAIC views the issue seriously, as it exposes potential weaknesses in the current surveillance and enforcement system, potentially indicating integrity risks among enforcement agencies and officers.
