00:00 Residents living in Sya'alam's Bukit Bandaraya said wild boars have been causing nuisance
00:07 to them.
00:10 They said the animals were foraging for food and messing up their rubbish bins.
00:15 Bukit Bandaraya Residents' Association Chairman Hasno Mohamad Jan said some residents were
00:20 fearful when they saw the animals wandering around the residential area.
00:24 He said they had seen the animals gallop run up to a hillock off Jalan Nuwang U11/36.
00:30 He said the animals are believed to have come out from a parcel of land which was a path
00:34 linked to Bukit Ceraka and Sya'alam National Botanical Gardens.
00:38 He said a wild boar had almost caused an accident as a car had to swerve to avoid the boar crossing
00:43 the road.
00:44 They said they used to see the animals once a month but the sightings had now become a
00:48 weekly affair.
00:50 Sya'alam City Councillor Vincent Chow said there was a suggestion to fence a 280-metre
00:55 stretch along Jalan Gunung Luang U11/36.
00:59 Selangor Wildlife and National Parks Department Director Wan Mohamad Adey Wan Mohamad Yusof
01:04 said the Bukit Ceraka forested area bordering Bukit Bandaraya is the habitat of the boars
01:10 and this led to the conflict between the animals and the humans.
01:14 He said the department has placed traps at the outermost perimeter of the forest and
01:18 they will manage and control the situation.
