An environmental activist has questioned why states have not used federal funds to protect wildlife, as another Malayan tiger was allegedly run down by a vehicle travelling in the forests of Hulu Perak.

In the 10.30pm incident on Nov 23, the Wildlife and National Parks Protection Department (Perhilitan) confirmed receiving a report that the tiger, of which there are fewer than 150 in the wild, was injured after being hit by a vehicle on a road in Lepang Nenering, Pengkalan Hulu, Perak.
