Guna jengkaut angkat ular sawa 100 kilogram

LARUT: Seorang pemandu jengkaut yang sedang membersihkan kawasan pembinaan di Jalan Kubu Gajah dekat Selama di sini, terkejut menemui seekor ular sawa batik seberat 100 kilogram (kg).

Ketua Balai Bomba dan Penyelamat (BBP) Selama, Mohd Nor Khairi Johari, lelaki itu kemudian menghubungi pihaknya sebelum lapan anggota dihantar ke lokasi kejadian jam 12.11 tengah hari Selasa.

"Operasi menangkap reptilia itu segera dijalankan dengan menggunakan alat penjerut sebelum ular itu diangkat menggunakan jengkaut ekoran saiznya yang agak besar.

"Operasi mengambil masa kira-kira 20 minit sebelum reptilia itu dibawa balik ke balai untuk diserahkan kepada Jabatan Perlindungan Hidupan Liar dan Taman Negara (Perhilitan)," ujarnya.

Sementara itu, Pengarah Perhilitan Perak, Yusoff Shariff berkata, ular berkenaan tidak dapat diselamatkan.

"Ular ni kalau sudah lurus badannya, bermakna ia sudah berada dalam keadaan 'nyawa-nyawa ikan'.

"Jadi apabila ia sudah mati, kita lupuskan dengan menanamnya," katanya ketika dihubungi malam ini.

Meanwhile, questions are being raised about whether schools, parents, and even social media platforms are doing enough to protect our young digital citizens. On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks with Dr Benjamin Loh, senior lecturer at Taylor’s University School of Media and Communication and director of the Impact Lab for Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions.
