Mother, daughter fined RM500 each for obstructing stray dog operation
They obstructed a Muar municipal council officer by attempting to free the dogs the council had caught during an Oct 29 operation to catch stray dogs.
Ainun Jongin, a 52-year-old Indonesian national, and her 24-year-old daughter Loo Sock Yan were fined RM500 each by the Muar Magistrates' Court for obstructing enforcement officers during a stray dog operation. The court also ordered them to serve 30 days in jail if they fail to pay the fines, which the women promptly paid.
The incident occurred at 5:45 am on October 29 in front of a house in Taman Bintang Emas, Bukit Pasir. Ainun and Loo Sock Yan attempted to free stray dogs that had been caught by the enforcement team, despite being warned not to interfere. A female officer was injured during the altercation.
Both women pleaded guilty in court, with deputy public prosecutor Yasmin Piah representing the prosecution. They were represented by lawyer Tan Joes Nan.
