Dog‑Tangled Drama in Singapore
“Hey Singapore! The operator of Platinium Dogs Club, the pet‑boarding spot in Bukit Panjang, has been nabbed by the police, says Senior Parliamentary Secretary for Home Affairs and National Development Sun Xueling.
Who’s In Prison?
- The 30‑year‑old woman who ran the club was cuffed on Sunday and is now held at Tanglin Police Division.
- She’s on the hook for alleged animal‑welfare breaches, and the Authorities are on a mission to sort out the mess.
What Went Down?
Back in late December, the authorities raided the club after complaints that dogs were being mistreated. They swooped in, took the dogs into temporary custody and are still digging into the situation.
On January 2nd, a rag‑tag group of dog owners stood outside the gates, demanding answers about a missing Shetland Sheepdog named Prince. Their frustration didn’t go unnoticed, though—one of them ended up in the hospital after getting hit by the club’s vehicle. Fortunately, he’s now on the path to a full recovery.
The Justice System Weighs In
Under the Animals and Birds Act, those who turn a blind eye to animal care can face:
- A fine of up to $40,000
- Up to two years” in jail if they’re found guilty.
Stay Calm, Let the Investigations Roll
Sun Xueling wrapped up her statement with: “Let’s stay calm and let the authorities investigate the case thoroughly and fairly.” Here’s hoping the outcome is pawsome for everyone involved.
