Slang for "Goanna"

Wild assertion?

Under section Conservation there is a statement that " Malay "kampung" boys and young working class Malay men often catch and kill water monitors for their own amusement". Apart from not explaining what kampung means, this is a racial slur without substantiation and so should be removed. I would be interested if anyone could provide evidence of a higher prevalence of monitor killing in Malaysia compared to any other country, but I do not think there is any justification for an assertion that country people or people of Malay ancestry should be singled out as responsible.

Malaysian government reference

Hello @Mat Kiyan: Perhaps this archive https://web.archive.org/web/20201222161100/https://www.wildlife.gov.my/index.php/en/media-centre/archives/202-biawak-air-varanus-salvator-di-rumah-pak-lah will help. Invasive Spices (talk) 19 October 2022 (UTC)

I appreciate the tip. I have checked before, but it looks like I couldn't find any archived page from the site that that mentions the species let alone the weight that was cited. --Mat Kiyan (talk) 09:49, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
