PETALING JAYA: There should be a multi-pronged approach by state departments and highway authorities to ensure fewer animals get killed on our roads, says Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye.

The issue, he said, needed consideration and collaboration between highway authorities, the Works Ministry and state wildlife departments to work out a solution. A Star Metro report on Thursday (May 6) reported that more than 100 wild animals have been killed in accidents in Johor since 2019.
This included seven tapirs that were killed since January this year.
