A carpenter attempted to smuggle 10 puppies and three kittens from Malaysia into Singapore in a modified compartment under the rear passenger seat in his vehicle, but he was caught at Woodlands Checkpoint during a routine inspection.
Referring to the five puppies that died within two weeks, a vet said the way the animals were transported caused them unnecessary suffering.said swab samples that were taken at the quarantine centre revealed that all 13 animals tested positive for highly contagious viruses that are transmitted via faecal-oral contact and cause gastrointestinal disease in dogs and cats.
“Being placed together with other animals in such confined conditions also poses the risk of injury through jostling,” he said. He racked up a debt of RM$7,000 and, when he was unable to repay it, he was instructed by Boss to smuggle animals into Singapore – a task for which he would be paid $40 for each animal successfully brought in.
Before each smuggling operation, Wong said he would be contacted by Boss, who would pass him a set of keys to the vehicle to be used and inform him of the delivery location in Singapore.
