00:11Wildlife rangers are working to lure the elephants into a plantation area far from the residential

00:16quarters to ensure safety.

00:19Sabah Wildlife Department Director Mohamed Sofian Abu Bakar stated that a team of rangers

00:24had been deployed to monitor the situation and take appropriate action after estate workers

00:30reported the sighting on Thursday.

00:33He added that they were still awaiting updates from the ground.

00:37The main priority, he emphasized, is to prevent harm to both humans and the elephants.

00:42In a related incident, a decapitated elephant was discovered in the Kalabakan area a few

00:48days ago.
