Johor Umno rep slammed for dog export idea


ISKANDAR PUTERI: An Umno assemblyman has come under fire for suggesting that stray dogs be rounded up and exported to South Korea for the dog meat market there.

“I would like to suggest that these stray dogs, maybe now we could not shoot them as it is cruel, but we could gather the animals and export them to South Korea,” said Tanjung Surat assemblyman Datuk Syed Sis Syed Abdul Rahman (pic).
