We do not need these type of Chinese running restaurants and also arrest the locals you supplies.We should have very harsh laws and those laws must be used against everyone to protect our precious wild life

Chinese are becoming a serious problem to this Country. They will end being the 4th largest community in the near future. Its high time Authorities took a closer look at how they are residing in this country and deport all illegal non-nationals.

Freeze that Chinaman and send him back to China in a frozen state like the Pangolin.

Govt and relevant authorities should inspect Chinese restaurants weekly. Should have imposed different laws as well.

They should have arrested the owner as well and shut them down.
