“I want our country to free itself from buying and promoting meat from exotic animals like hedgehogs, pythons and crocodiles,” Khazanah’s Integrated Operations press convention at Paya Indah Wetlands said today.
Abdul Hamid police would cooperate with Perhilitan on the issue.
“Don’t tell me that with three hundred to 500 officers (police) in one area, you detect lifestyles of illegal and local restaurants that promote exotic animals?” Asked.
Abdul Hamid said his team had won a report from a non-governmental organization (NGO) threatened with wearing down his paintings in an attempt to conserve the threatened environment.
