Malaysian authorities have seized a massive haul of trafficked animal parts, including elephant tusks, rhino horns, pangolin scales and tiger bones worth around 80 million ringgit ($17.9 million).
Authorities discovered around six tonnes of ivory tusks and other animal parts at the western port in Selangor state on Sunday.
The animal parts are thought to have been shipped from Africa, Malaysian Customs Director General Zazuli Johan said on Monday.
