MELAKA: On top of the problem of immigrants making their way illegally into Melaka via the strait, the state is currently facing another trans-boundary issue – the invasion of wild boars from Indonesia.
Melaka Agriculture, Agro-Based, Entrepreneur Development and Cooperative Committee chairman Norhizam Hassan Baktee said wild boars were excellent swimmers, but the state never expected them to cross the narrow Strait of Malacca from Sumatera in search of new habitats here.
Norhizam said fishermen reported seeing snouts in the dark along the coastal lines of Melaka almost every night.He said the number of wild boars could outnumber the human population in Pulau Besar if the situation was not brought under control. “Perhilitan is bringing in three sharp-shooters on a mission to save Pulau Besar from the wild boar invasion, ” he said.
