Tanjung Rambutan: The Perak Department of Wildlife and National Parks (Perhilitan) has advised residents of Kampung Kolam, Tanjung Rambutan, to reduce their night-time activities following a tiger attack on livestock on January 17. The department’s director, Yusoff Shariff, emphasized that this precautionary measure is necessary to prevent any untoward incidents.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Yusoff Shariff urged residents to avoid venturing into the forest or approaching livestock enclosures at dusk or after dark due to the risk of potential incidents. Despite the belief that the tiger has moved to another location, there remains a possibility that it could return, as the attack site is close to both forested areas and residents’ livestock enclosures.

On January 19, Perak Perhilitan confirmed receiving reports of the attack from villagers, based on the discovery of pug marks and injuries sustained by cattle. In response, the department has installed cameras and a special trap in the area to monitor the situation.

Meanwhile, Yusoff stated that there are no plans to relocate the cameras and trap, citing the absence of evidence suggesting the predator’s return. He noted that the department would only consider removing the equipment if tracking results confirm the tiger has moved far from the area.
