Wildlife smuggling through the post has increased, says NGO

PETALING JAYA: Some parents have decided not to send their children to school during Palestine Solidarity Week over concerns of such programmes relating to conflicts in other countries.

PETALING JAYA: Pos Malaysia recorded a 10-fold increase in the interception of parcels containing wildlife, says a non-governmental organisation.

This was highlighted in a recent workshop aimed at sharing best practices with industry players in the postal and courier industry. "All interdictions took place at the hub prior to the packages leaving animals such as tortoises, lizards, snakes, butterflies and tropical fish," it added. "Having found snakes in one of our delivery vehicles, we know that wildlife trafficking via post poses a danger to our employees," Pos Malaysia operations manager for improvement and excellence Abdul Razak Abdul Rahman said in the statement.
