    KAJANG: A professional badminton player has been fined RM25,000, in default six months in jail, by the Sessions Court here on Friday (Aug 30) after pleading guilty to repeatedly beating a dog at his house last month.

    Judge Mazuliana Abdul Rashid imposed the fine on Samuel Lee, 21.

    Lee was charged with beating a husky with his hands repeatedly on the balcony of his residence at Landmark Residence, Kajang, between 12.09am and 12.19am on July 1 this year.

    The charge, framed under Section 29(1)(a) of the Animal Welfare Act 2015, provides a fine of up to RM100,000, or a maximum prison sentence of three years, or both, upon conviction.

    According to the facts of the case, Lee’s act of beating the dog was recorded by a neighbour and went viral on social media.

    Prosecuting officer from the Selangor Veterinary Service Department Mohd Sharif Sabran appeared for the prosecution, while lawyer S. Rajashree represented Lee. – Bernama
