SINGAPORE - The name is also a rule, well, it must be obeyed, without tolerance. As happened to men in Singapore, it was fined 3 thousand Sin dollars for taking their dogs for a walk without being tied up.

The court didn't care even though Ng Lai Beng went back and forth saying his dog was very trained and different from other dogs. The court found him guilty of Animal and Bird Regulations (Licence and Dog Control).

If he doesn't pay the fine by the end of this month, he will have to serve four weeks in prison for default.

Previously he had received warning letters and reminders to comply with regulations to tie his dog while walking in public places. But the warning letter was considered a last-day wind, as reported by Channel News Asia, Friday, April 12.

The court heard that the National Parks Council (NParks) received input on August 18, 2022, that Ng dogs were being released in a roof garden on Jalan Fernvale.

The investigation revealed that Ng had tied the dog's strap, but did not hold the rope.

In early September 2022, Ng received a letter indicating that he received an official notification that public input had been received regarding how to walk with his dog.

However, even after the letter was issued to Ng, he continued to take his dog for a walk five times in various locations including parks, playgrounds, and rooftop gardens without tying the strap.
