Two foreigners remanded for allegedly taking plant specimens without permission from Santubong National Park

Two foreign nationals were remanded for allegedly taking plant specimens from Santubong National Park without permission.

Sarawak Forestry Corporation and the Royal Malaysia Police are conducting an investigation under the National Parks & Nature Reserves Ordinance, 1998.

SFC warned the public that removing biological resources from protected areas without permission impacts biodiversity and conservation efforts.

KUCHING, Sept 6 — Two foreign nationals have been remanded for allegedly taking plant specimens without permission from Santubong National Park last Thursday.

Sarawak Forestry Corporation (SFC) said both individuals were remanded for three days, from September 4 to September 7, to assist with the investigation.

“On September 3 at around 1.50pm, the two individuals were checking out of the park after conducting an activity in the area. Following observations, they were suspected of taking and collecting plant specimens from the area.

“Inspections revealed four transparent plastic bags filled with plant specimens, believed to have been taken from the national park. Two backpacks and other items were also seized for further investigation,” SFC said in a statement

All specimens have been recorded and retained as case exhibits, and are currently undergoing identification and further examination to determine their type and species status.

SFC is working with the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) to complete the investigation and any subsequent action.

The investigation also takes into account the provisions under the National Parks & Nature Reserves Ordinance, 1998 [Cap. 27], which prohibits the taking or removal of plants from national park areas without permission from the controller of national parks and nature reserves.

Under Section 26 of the said Ordinance, no person is allowed to take or destroy plants within a national park, or to remove any plant, whether living or dead, without the controller’s permission

“SFC takes a serious view of any activity involving the taking, collecting, or removal of biological resources from Totally Protected Areas (TPAs) without permission. Such activities may impact the integrity of biodiversity and the long-term conservation efforts of Sarawak.

“Members of the public and visitors are reminded that all flora, fauna, and natural resources within national park areas are protected and must not be taken, removed, or carried out without valid authorisation,” SFC said. — The Borneo Post

两名外国公民因涉嫌未经许可从山都望国家公园采摘植物标本而被拘留。

砂拉越林业公司和马来西亚皇家警察正在根据 1998 年国家公园和自然保护区条例进行调查。

新加坡森林局警告公众，未经许可从保护区移除生物资源会影响生物多样性和保护工作。

古晋，9月6日讯——两名外国公民因涉嫌上周四未经许可从山都望国家公园采摘植物标本而被拘留。

砂拉越森林机构（SFC）表示，这两名嫌疑人已被拘留三天，从9月4日至9月7日，以协助调查。

“9月3日下午1点50分左右，这两名男子在公园内进行活动后离开。经观察，怀疑他们从该地区采集了植物标本。

新加坡森林管理委员会（SFC）在一份声明中表示：“检查发现四个装满植物标本的透明塑料袋，据信是从国家公园取走的。此外，还扣押了两个背包和其他物品，以作进一步调查。”

所有标本均已记录并作为案件展品保存，目前正在进行鉴定和进一步检查，以确定其类型和物种地位。

新加坡金融管理局 (SFC) 正与马来西亚皇家警察 (PDRM) 合作，完成调查及后续行动。

调查还考虑到了 1998 年《国家公园及自然保护区条例》（第 27 章）的规定，该条例禁止未经国家公园及自然保护区主管机关许可，从国家公园区域内采摘或移除植物。

根据上述条例第26条，任何人未经国家公园管理机构许可，不得在国家公园内采摘或毁坏植物，或移除任何植物，无论其是活的还是死的。

“砂拉越森林委员会严肃对待任何未经许可从完全保护区（TPA）获取、收集或移除生物资源的行为。此类行为可能会影响生物多样性的完整性以及砂拉越的长期保护工作。”

新加坡森林局提醒公众和游客，国家公园内的所有动植物和自然资源均受保护，未经有效授权，不得采摘、移除或带走。——《婆罗洲邮报》
