A tiger was sighted roaming a residential area in Tanjung Malim, Perak, according to a CCTV recording by a resident there.
The Wildlife and National Parks Department (Perhilitan) confirmed receiving a report that the tiger was spotted passing in front of a house in Taman Bernam Baru.
"Residents are urged to exercise caution and not to provoke the animal if they chance upon it.
"Avoid entering forested areas, as there is a record of a tiger in the (Bukit) Tapah Forest Reserve nearby," Perak Perhilitan director Yusoff Shariff told Bernama.
