2 beranak didenda RM500 halang pegawai tangkap anjing liar

On October 29th, a woman named Ainun Jongin, aged 52, and her daughter Loo Sock Yan, 24, were fined RM500 by the Muar Magistrate Court in Johor for obstructing the duty of a MPM assistant following an operation to capture two stray dogs in Taman Bintang Emas, Bukit Pasir. The incident occurred around 5:45 am. The court, presided over by Kartini Kasran, also ordered the two defendants to be imprisoned for 30 days if they failed to pay the fine.

According to the complaint, the defendants are alleged to have deliberately obstructed the duty of an MPM assistant, a sanitary worker, during the operation to capture the stray dogs in front of a home. They were charged under Section 186 of the Magistrates' Courts Act, combined with Section 34 of the Police Force Act, which stipulates imprisonment for up to two years or a fine of up to RM10,000, or both.

During the incident, the defendants allegedly captured two stray dogs before obstructing the duty of the assistant and attempting to release the animals. Both defendants then took the equipment used to capture the dogs before a female assistant tried to control and calm the situation, but she fell. The prosecution was handled by Deputy Senior Prosecutor Yasmin Mohd Piah, while both defendants were represented by lawyer Tan Joes Nan.
