A woman who contacted two people after they advertised dogs for sale decided to proceed with buying a dachshund even after they told her it would be illegally imported into the Republic from Malaysia.

On Dec 4, Tok was fined $7,000 after she pleaded guilty to abetting the illegal importation of the dachshund from Malaysia into Singapore. Mr Lim said: “The accused asked Soon and Wong where the animals were from and was informed that they were from a pet farm located in Kuala Lumpur... When the accused asked Soon and Wong if the importation of animals would be done legally, she was informed that it was illegal.”

Court documents stated that Tok then confirmed she wanted to buy the dog and paid a $200 deposit to Soon.
