Two tons of elephant tusks seized in Malaysia

Malaysian authorities have seized hundreds of African elephant tusks worth 4 million ringgit (€984,000) that were being shipped to Cambodia.

Customs official Azis Yacub said inspectors at Port Klang harbour found the tusks hidden in containers of handicrafts from Kenya’s Mombasa port. The shipment was headed for Cambodia’s beach resort area of Sihanoukville.
