Kuala Lumpur 18th June 2023 - Plans are underway to expand the scope of Bukit Aman’s Wildlife Crime Bureau (WCB) to cover national treasures and heritage sites too.
The WCB, under Bukit Aman’s Internal Security and Public Order Department (KDNKA), was formed last July and comprised 50 officers and personnel.

“Since then, it has been merged with the Special Intelligence Unit and the number of officers and personnel has increased to 75,” CP Dato’ Sri Hazani Ghazali said in an interview recently.

“Beyond wildlife, we want to expand the duties of WCB to protect our national treasures.”
The KDNKA director added that the duties of WCB would include protecting the nation’s resources against illegal mining, illegal logging and fish bombing activities.
