A Malaysian Chinese youth who abused and set fire to a stray dog apologized, promising to cover its medical expenses and reform, but netizens have questioned the sincerity of his apology. The youth’s act was captured on CCTV and sparked public outrage, prompting the veterinarian involved to file a police report. The case is currently being investigated under the Animal Welfare Act 2015, which carries a penalty of up to RM 100,000 or imprisonment for up to three years or both if convicted.

A video of a 19-year-old male beating a stray dog with a metal rod and setting it on fire has sparked outrage among Malaysian netizens, who are demanding justice for the animal. The incident occurred in Skudai, Johor Bahru, and was captured on CCTV footage, which was shared on Facebook. The dog sustained two fractured legs and first to second-degree burns and is receiving medical treatment. The veterinarian who cared for the dog has filed a police report and refused to retract it despite alleged requests from the offender’s family.

Malaysia’s Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) enforcement officers are under fire after videos showed them allegedly roughing up an elderly man who was trying to protect his dogs. The man, Patrick Khoo, will now be charged under Section 186 of the Penal Code for obstructing government officials from carrying out their duties. MP for Petaling Jaya Lee Chean Chung expressed concern over the elderly man facing legal action after being allegedly assaulted by an MBPJ officer and urged for MBPJ’s internal investigation to be conducted fairly and transparently.
