Company director denies deceiving Perhilitan on white lion, lynx sale details
KUANTAN: A company director pleaded not guilty in the Sessions Court here today to a charge of deceiving the director of the Pahang Department of Wildlife and National Parks (Perhilitan) by hiding details about the sale of two white lions and a Eurasian lynx to Melaka Zoo for RM68,000, four years ago. Datuk Chan Kong San, 64, made the plea after the charge against him was read before Judge Sazlina Shafie. Chan is accused of deceiving Pahang Perhilitan director Rozidan Md Yasin by concealing the sale of the animals to Melaka Zoo by Sentoria Themeparks and Resorts Sdn Bhd for RM68,000, in violation of the Wildlife Conservation Act 2010. The act prompted the Pahang Perhilitan director to not block Sentoria Themeparks and Resorts Sdn Bhd's application to transfer protected wildlife under the Wildlife Conservation Act 2010, by presenting it as a handover to Melaka Zoo. This was based on a letter titled 'Disposal of Scheduled Wildlife to Zoo Melaka (Species Protected by the WCA 2010)' dated March 11, 2021. The director would not have approved the application had he known it involved a sale rather than a transfer. The offence was allegedly committed at the Pahang Perhilitan Office on March 11, 2021. The charge is framed under Section 415(b) of the Penal Code and is punishable under Section 417 of the same law, which provides for a maximum penalty of five years' imprisonment, a fine, or both, upon conviction. Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) deputy public prosecutor Sharina Farhana Nor Sha'ari offered bail of RM25,000 with additional conditions to report to the MACC Putrajaya once a month and to surrender his passport to the court until the disposal of the case. However, lawyer Datuk Bob S. Aramugam, representing Chan, appealed for a lower bail on the grounds that his client's business was declining. The court granted bail of RM15,000 in one surety along with additional conditions as requested by the prosecution and set a mention date of July 29.
