‘Help Us to Save the Totally Protected Species’
Totally Protected Species defined
as species which are in the danger of extinction
due to hunting and habitat destruction. They are
now extremely rare. Everyone’s help and contribution
is needed to ensure their survival in this world.
In Sarawak, Totally Protected Species may not be
kept as pets, hunted, captured, killed, sold, imported
or exported, or disturbed in any way, and nor may
you possess any recognizable part of these animals.
The penalties for any of these offences are severe:
For a rhinoceros, a fine of RM50,000 and five years
imprisonment
For an orangutan or proboscis monkey, a fine of RM
30,000 and 2 years imprisonment
For all other species, a fine of RM25,000 and 3 years
imprisonment.
