Reward for anyone with info on Tawau elephant poachers

Oct 01, 2019

The elephant carcass found in Tawau, Sabah last week had 70 bullet wounds on its body.

Authorities believe the adult elephant was shot dead, before its two tusks were removed. 

The Sabah Wildlife Department initially offered RM10,000 for information on the killers, but generous citizens contributed to the pool, bumping the sum up to RM20,000.

MOH wants to tighten medical checks on e-hailing drivers

E-hailing drivers who've already had their medical checks done, ahead of obtaining their PSV Licence, could be examined again. 

Deputy Health Minister Dr Lee Boon Chye said the Ministry wants to make sure that the medical checks were done properly and thoroughly.

The Malaysia E-hailing Drivers Association claims it managed to persuade panel clinics to only charge RM20 for the medical checks. 

However, the Malaysian Medical Association said it's impossible to carry out a proper check for such a low price.
