- The relocation aims to move the elephant into a new habitat and reduce conflict between elephants and people.
Sulong, the wild elephant recently seen wandering along the East-West Highway in Kelantan, has been transported by houseboat to Tasik Kenyir State Park in Hulu Terengganu, Terengganu.
Sulong had previously been moved from the Chalil area of Gua Musang to a forested area near Gerik in an effort to reduce conflict between elephants and people. The elephant later reappeared on the Gerik-Jeli section of the highway, causing concern among members of the public.
Sulong was taken to Tasik Kenyir to undergo relocation to a new habitat.
