NSTnation A passenger from Myanmar's attempt to bring in dried rat meat, without permit, failed when he was stopped by Penang Maqis.
Its director Zarina Ramli said the man, who is in his 30s, tried to bring in the meat without any import permit and veterinary health certificate from the exporting country.
“The purpose of this veterinary health certificate is to ensure that the goods or meat are free of diseases and viruses,” she said in a statement, here, today. Meanwhile, she said Penang Maqis had also seized 59.8 kilogrammes of Harumanis mango worth RM2,565.68 brought in by a man from Thailand without export permit and phytosanitary certificate.
Zarina said the case was an offence under Section 11 of the Quarantine and Inspection Services Act 2011. The offenders could be liable to a fine of not more than RM100,000 or be jailed for up to six years or both, if convicted, she added. -– BERNAMA
