Return of the Lizard King: Malaysia's Wildlife Trafficker | 101 East

How is anything going to be done to stop the illegal trade of animals when the country's Environment Minister is so obviously complicit in allowing it to happen. That spineless coward is getting some hefty kickbacks no doubt, throw him and the rest of the corrupt government out of office. 

Thanks so much Steve & Al Jazeera for exposing these people !! Great story and production.

Anson Wong..is..above..the law..well, at least not always, but the light sentence of 17 months raises suspicions. This video alone has illuminated a lot of things and can be used as evidence by the police, but the Malaysian gov. must surely have been protecting him, it's been almost a month after this video aired but still no news of the gov/police opening an enquiry

This is really an eye opening..I don't know about this until I watch this great documentary! Awesome effort..thanks!

The good part is...he is somebody who love animal.....who feed them....who take care of them...even treat them when they get ill...a lots of money spent there..any of us cant do that way....and its not easy......but he goes against the law because of more money....its true that "I Got Greed"..

leader of Malaysian Indians,wow!
firstly,giving out stereotyped answers
then,laughing as though he's watching a sitcom
and then,caught having a script'd answer
making Malaysians n the community "proud"

How can somebody has the attitude to deal with animals. I can not imagine this. And I think only a couple of guys in my area and all over the world know  dealing with animals is a currently and sad fact. 
I'm often thinking about to change the world. But one person isnt able to change it, 
We need more people like the actor of tis documentary movie. I want to say that I totaly agree what he says. I didnt know that much before i watched this movie. This film opened my eyes. Finaly I want to say: You can do what ever you want. You only need money to corrupt the system. 

this video deserve more view... people have to wake up now...

U guy r doing a really GOOD JOB! Keep it going!

A minister did not know what he doing great........

the only way to deal with this is using the death penalty if you are caught trafficking. problem solved.

I just don't get the people who buy those endangered animals. Why not just get a normal turtle? Can't you think of another status symbol?

Steve chow is so cute

I know Penang like the back of my hand. I am going to bust his nuts open when I go back.

What to do when Malaysia is so corrupted? Enforcement officers at all levels - customs, immigration, police, forestry, even their wildlife protection officers are corrupt to the core. That's what you get when 80% of their workforce are ethnic malay - corruption at every level

Ask government : oww ha ha ha Malaysia 🇲🇾 government

I wonder if anything has changed.

..truly, a piece of snniitt! Lizard Queen? I hate his guts and liver.!

Malaysia should take this criminal seriously and put him behind bars for life ....for the sake of whole worlds wildlife...and also sack the corrupt Indian origin environment minister

corruption.... sometimes really feel ashamed of being a Malaysian..

A lot of Malaysian make a lot of money with the help of 'corruption tricks'.

Malaysian not eat but they gobble everything. truth fact.

The minister sounds corrupted thou

hope this channel can make documentation about malaysia RACIST university:UITM which is not only NOT boycott by the west.but get a lot of coperation and reconegtion by ALL top university in the world.what is going on??

Steve chao my favorite journalist

He should be jailed for more than 10 years

101 East media detectives are 100 times better than Malaysia enforcement officers.

I met Anson, a long time ago, and he is a good man.

Make me sad that it' s always someone from Antananarivo who destroyed all the provinces in Madagascar.

i'm surprised steve chao is still alive given what he does

I feel like even an innocent person wouldn't respond well if they were cornered like that. Should've been more subtle.

Malaysia Boleh!

Please learn this word guys, Malaysia Boleh!

One ugly human being!

Such an animal deserves 15 years in jail, but it is Malaysia, one can walk out in a few days.
Shame on Malaysia !

Malaysia great again

Anson wong you and your family descendant of a donkey

Why Malaysia are all Indian lol 😂

I don't believe in the death penalty on many issues involved human but this one it against animals that has no voice or power. They have no way of increasing their spies there for these people needs to die. And the one who are buying needs to go to jail for 10 years.

You could buy baby albino burmese pythons in 1993 for 100 dollars each. Now you can't hardly give them away.

Blame the buyers too. If there are no buyers there sure be no porches.

so sorry to see these wild lives......hope the government does something.....

He is a corrupt man

This is so sad. As a veterinarian, this was very difficult to watch. I had no idea that this went on. I will be mindful of the animals that I see from now on.

Why are the penaltys so low for Ilegal Animal trafficking in Malaysia. If they catch you with a small amount of drugs your dead.

Good job jazeera.

that's a lot of money involved....

Chinese and the whites feel so entitled to extortion of other countries. If they don't go offering their money, these people won't find buyers, there wont' be exploitation of the entire world...
If you offer, you are the enabler, the corrupted, the immoral object who have no consideration to anything at all but your own little dickworld.

Somebody please kill him already!
