Lelaki maut dibaham harimau belang ketika cari rotan

In Sungai Siput, Malaysia, a 42-year-old Orang Asli man named Zamberi Angah was found dead believed to have been attacked by a Malayan tiger while searching for bamboo near Kampung Takung, Pos Perwor, on the outskirts of the city. His body was discovered at 6:58 pm near a wooden pole, approximately 200 meters from the attack site, according to Berita Harian.

Zamberi was reportedly traveling with a companion who entered the forest reserve in search of bamboo. Rohaizimi Razali, Deputy Chief Polis of Sungai Siput, confirmed receipt of the incident report and stated that Perhilitan (Malay Forest Department) is currently searching for the involved Malayan tiger. Today, Perhilitan's tiger unit will set up a tiger trap between Kampung Takong and Korbu Forest Reserve.

Meanwhile, Lintang Adun, Mohd Zolkafly Harun, advised residents to stay away from the area for now, remain vigilant, and follow all instructions from authorities. He was accompanied by his wife as they visited the deceased's family to pay condolences and donate some money to help ease their burden.
