Awang Rasau, the Malayan tiger which was shot by poachers, died recently, despite all the efforts to save him. With less than 200 Malayan tigers left in the wild, this case has been a stark reminder of the work that is left, to protect the tigers we have left. We discuss the fate of Malayan tigers, and why we must not give up the fight to protect them.
