“However, Perhilitan is still investigating and monitoring the area to make sure there is no tiger or any other wildlife there,” he said when contacted on Wednesday (Dec 13).

Aminuddin also said Taman Seri Impian, which is located within Kluang town, was about 10km from the nearest forest.

“Based on our data, there is no record of a tiger in that forest and the position as claimed is far from its known natural habitat,” he added.

In the clip, a roar believed to be that of a tiger can be heard. However, the video does not show the animal that made the sound.
