Port Dickson imposes RM250 fine for bringing dogs to public spaces
ANYONE caught bringing pet dogs to public spaces, including beaches in the Port Dickson district, could face a RM250 compound fine, according to Negeri Sembilan's Executive Councillor for Local Government, Housing, and Transport, J Arul Kumar. He said that clear signage has been placed in designated areas to remind the public of the rules regarding pets. The enforcement falls under the 2008 Park By-Laws of the Port Dickson Municipal Council (MPPD). Arul Kumar was responding to the recent circulation of a viral image showing a beachgoer walking a dog along Port Dickson beach, which drew mixed reactions online. 'While the beach is indeed a public space, existing signboards prohibiting pets must be respected,' he said. He also urged people to be mindful of cultural sensitivities in shared spaces, regardless of whether official bans are in place. 'This rule doesn't just apply to beaches, but to all public areas, as a matter of community respect,' he added. Separately, Arul Kumar addressed concerns about stray dogs at Tanjung Biru Beach, saying that the MPPD has been instructed to take swift action on the matter. Port Dickson is home to 11 beaches, with Teluk Kemang Beach being a key attraction among tourists. —June 4, 2025
