PDRM to phase out firearms permit for hunting

The Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Abdul Hamid Bador has strongly urged those with a firearm licence to stop hunting as a hobby, even though there were conditions imposed on the licence to allow them to hunt.

Aside from using firearms for self-defence or to eradicate crop pests, he said the police were looking to either get rid of the conditions that allow hunting or to tighten those conditions.
