The Tiger Trapping Operation in Jeli Was Triggered by a Fatal Attack

The operation to trap a tiger in Jeli was initiated following a fatal attack on a Myanmar national on Wednesday. This incident occurred at Thek Him Vegetables Resources Chili Farm Batu 18, located along the East-West Highway in Jeli. The capture of the animal is still under detailed investigation to confirm if it was responsible for this death and a previous one.
Second Fatal Tiger Attack Prompted Immediate Action

The immediate cause for the trapping operation was the death of a Myanmar man at a chili farm on Wednesday. This attack followed a similar incident just a day prior, highlighting a concerning pattern of tiger aggression in the region. The farm is situated at Batu 18 along the Jalan Raya Timur Barat in Jeli.
Previous Fatality Occurred Near Gerik

Prior to the Jeli incident, a local man, Adnan Ismail, aged 54, died in a tiger attack on Tuesday. This first attack took place outside workers' quarters in a forested area at KM79.2 of the Gerik-Jeli route in Bersia, near Gerik. The proximity and timing of these two fatal encounters raised significant concerns among residents and authorities.
Investigation Underway to Link Trapped Tiger to Fatalities

Officials from Kelantan's Department of Wildlife Protection and National Parks (Perhilitan) are conducting a detailed investigation to determine if the tiger captured in Jeli is the same animal responsible for the two deaths. The approximately eight-to-10-year-old tiger was found to be in a healthy condition upon capture and has been transferred to the National Wildlife Rescue Centre in Sungkai, Perak, for further assessment and action.
