Key FactsMBPP Highlights Malaysia’s Prohibited Dog Breeds
Sep 25, 2024 · Reading time: ~45 sec.
Summary created with AI assistance · Source: thestar.com.my
  • Councillor Quah Boon Lim said Malaysia prohibits breeds including Akitas, American Bulldogs, Dogo Argentinos, Fila Brasileiros, Japanese Tosas and Pit Bull Terriers.

  • Penang will not issue ownership licences for these breeds, which MBPP says pose significant risks despite training.

  • Violations may result in fines; non-compliant dogs can be confiscated and sent to shelters.

  • The campaign uses infographic posters, while dog licences cost RM10 yearly and are available through MBPP’s online portal.
    • Licences will not be issued for their ownership in Penang as these breeds pose significant risks due to their genetic traits, despite training.
    — Councillor Quah Boon Lim, Penang Island City Council (MBPP), at a press conference in George Town on Sept 25
