Rising wild boar population, gruesome murder put Melaka in media spotlight in 2019
Monday, 23 Dec 2019 08:28 PM MYT
State Agriculture, Entrepreneur Development, Agro-Based Industry and Cooperative chairman Datuk Norhizam Hassan Baktee, in his speech at the State Legislative Assembly sitting in November, said more than 400 wild boars had been shot as at October as part of the government’s efforts to solve the issue, allegedly caused by the migration of the animals from Sumatera, Indonesia, which has left the people, especially the farmers, in despair.
Norhizam’s remarks about the rising population of the animals, however, contradicted Melaka Chief Minister Adly Zahari’s statement that the wild boar population in Melaka is still under control and does not threaten the safety of the people. Nevertheless, he said a DNA test has been undertaken since the beginning of last month and, at press time, the results have not been made known to the public.
