Mr Louis Ng Kok Kwang asked the Minister for National Development in each year for the past five years (a) how many reports have been made on veterinarians carrying out procedures to debark dogs without due justification and how many of these reports have been investigated; and (b) how many of these cases have led to (i) written warnings (ii) composition fines (iii) suspension of veterinary licence and (iv) revocation of veterinary licence, respectively.

Over the past five years, the National Parks Board has not received any reports on veterinarians carrying out procedures to debark dogs without due justification.
