“Therefore, it is still prevalent in Sarawak even after almost six years, and therefore all dogs should be vaccinated,” he said in a statement. Tiang asked dog owners to vaccinate their pets once a year, including puppies aged four months and above. He added owners who do not license their dogs with the Local Councils can be fined, not exceeding RM5,000 as provided under by-law 3.
