PETALING JAYA: Unknown individuals have blocked the entrance to the holiday resort and cafe Tanah Aina, which is owned by environmentalist Puan Sri Shariffa Sabrina Syed Akil.
PETALING JAYA: The Department of Wildlife and National Parks (Perhilitan) has removed several gibbons from the premises of a sacked former employee who was conducting a rehabilitation programme for the endangered primates.
Mariani Ramli, a former ranger who was dismissed from the department in 2017, had previously been given permission by her employer to rehabilitate six gibbons that would later be released into the wild.
Upon her dismissal however, the department withdrew that permission.
Mariani had challenged her dismissal and the withdrawal of the permission by filing judicial review proceedings.
The High Court had in July 2019 set aside the decision to terminate her employment and also the decision to withdraw the gibbons from her care.
