TUMPAT: A 31-year-old transporter who has spent 11 years ferrying livestock believed to have been smuggled from Thailand to various destinations nationwide was arrested today while transporting seven deer to Terengganu.
Khairul (not his real name) said he had been transporting cattle, goats and other livestock from the Kelantan-Thailand border to destinations including Selangor and Johor since 2015.
The father of a 5-month-old baby from Chabang Empat, who also works as a lorry driver, said he made an average of 3 trips a week, earning between RM350 and RM450 per trip.
He could earn up to RM6,000 a month from the transportation job.
