I only wanted to save the bear, I had no intention of exploiting him. Authorities, meanwhile, said the bear, which was rescued on Friday, had been sent to a wildlife rescue centre. An official from the Wildlife and National Parks Department (Perhili­tan) confirmed that the cub is now in safe hands. “The bear has been sent to the National Wildlife Rescue Centre in Sungkai, Perak, for quarantine and treatment purposes,” he said. “Additionally, the sun bear cub also has to be quarantined first and the case is still in the investigative stage,” he said.
