JOHOR BAHRU, May 19 — The Johor Bahru City Council will take action after identifying contractors involved in deliberately running over and killing a dog in a pick-up truck here last week.
The incident, which was captured on closed-circuit television footage, has since triggered public outrage against a team of MBJB contractors during a stray dog eradication operation in Puteri Wangsa here on May 15. Johor Housing and Local Government Committee chairman Datuk Mohd Jafni Md Shukor said MBJB’s internal investigation had identified the individuals involved as appointed contractors carrying out the stray dog eradication operation.
He said MBJB had issued the contractor involved a show-cause letter for failure to comply with the standard operating procedure and non-compliance with the terms of appointment.
“MBJB had also filed a police report to enable further investigation by the authorities for negligence, misconduct, abuse of power or violation of the law,” he said in a statement today. Mohd Jafni said the authorities would take strict and uncompromising action if investigations found any SOP violations or negligence. He said the action could include suspension of operations, termination of contracts, blacklisting and legal action against the parties responsible.
Mohd Jafni said MBJB viewed the incident seriously and would not compromise on negligence, misconduct or non-compliance with prescribed guidelines.
“I would like to point out that every enforcement operation related to the capture and disposal of stray dogs must be carried out in a controlled, prudent manner. “The operation must also adhere to the SOP for the capture and disposal of stray dogs that is set by the Housing and Local Government Ministry, adding that any action that violates this will not be protected by the state government.
” On a related matter, Mohd Jafni said the state government reminded all dog owners that they are responsible for ensuring their pets are kept under control and supervised so as not to disrupt public order or pose a public risk. Earlier, a video widely shared on social media showed a pick-up truck deliberately running over a dog during a stray dog eradication operation in a residential area in Puteri Wangsa here last week.
