April 30 (Reuters) - Sandisk ⁠forecast quarterly revenue above estimates on Thursday, joining peers Western Digital ⁠and Seagate in signaling that enterprise spending on data storage ‌products used in artificial intelligence data centers remains strong.

PUTRAJAYA: The Wildlife and National Parks Department has refuted claims that a frail-looking tiger kept at a zoo in Osaka , Japan, seen in viral online videos, is a Malayan Tiger In a statement, Perhilitan clarified that the animal in the video is an Amur Tiger , not a Malayan Tiger , adding that no Malayan Tiger s are kept at the said zoo.

"The video shows a tiger that has been falsely identified as a Malayan Tiger in a thin and unhealthy state at Tennoji Zoo in Osaka, Japan. "This has sparked public concern and negative reactions, particularly regarding wildlife welfare and the perceived image of Malayan Tiger conservation," the statement on Friday said. Perhilitan also clarified that the Amur Tiger does not belong to the department or the Malaysian government.

The department added that the spread of this misinformation has caused public confusion and damaged public perception of Malaysia's conservation efforts for its endangered wildlife. Perhilitan reminded the public to be responsible by verifying facts before sharing any information, particularly on social media.

"The dissemination of inaccurate or unverified information can create confusion, trigger negative perceptions and undermine wildlife conservation efforts at both the national and international levels. "The public is also encouraged to refer to official government sources or authorised bodies for accurate and reliable information, and to avoid making baseless speculations," the department said.

Perhilitan said it remains fully committed to preserving the nation's wildlife and will continue working with stakeholders at home and abroad to ensure the welfare of endangered species, including the Malayan Tiger. - Bernama
