A SENIOR citizen has lodged a police report against the Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) vector control unit, claiming that one of its officers had been rough towards him during a dog-catching operation.
In the report, lodged at the Brickfields district police headquarters on Friday (March 24), Patrick Khoo, 69, alleged that two MBPJ dog-catching unit enforcement officers came chasing after his pet dogs which he kept at his office at Taman Kanagapuram.
The dog owner tried to intervene and a tussle broke out during the incident at about 9pm on March 22.
Khoo alleged that the dog catcher had swiped the dog-catching loop he was holding against the left side of his (Khoo’s) face, which had resulted in him suffering pain until now.
There are CCTV recordings of the incident, said Khoo.
When contacted, Khoo, who owns and manages a lubricant oil supply company, said the dog-catchers had taken away three adult dogs and a puppy.
According to Khoo, he had vaccinated and neutered the dogs he keeps at his office premises.
“They are also bathed regularly,’’ he added.
The CCTV recordings have been posted on social media by a Facebook user.
The post has since raised the ire of animal activists and dog lovers who have raised their hackles over how Khoo and his dogs were treated in the incident.
David Attenborough wrongly linked to false online claim about ‘black and red ants in a jar’

Multiple experts also explained that the scenario described in the posts is inaccurate.
Entomologist from James Cook University, Associate Professor Lori Lach, told AFP that regardless of whether you shake a jar containing two species of ants, they will likely be aggressive toward each other.
“The level of aggression will vary with species (there are over 15,000 named ant species, so there would be variation), how frequent the contact is, and how long they have been separated from the rest of their colony, but it’s highly unlikely that “nothing would happen”,” she explained.
“We would also expect to see aggressive behaviour with ants of the same species from two different colonies. Even though they look identical to us, the ants can “smell” outsiders,” Loch said on October 28, 2021.
Professor of Entomology from University of California Davis, Philip S. Ward, told AFP the post “sounds dubious” and said that he was not aware of experiments pitting black ants and fire ants against each other in a jar.
“If you place ants of different species in a jar, they will generally behave aggressively to individuals of the opposite species, regardless of whether the jar is shaken or not,” Ward told AFP on October 23, 2021.
“This behaviour is mediated by smell: ants of different species, and even those from different nests of the same species, present a different “bouquet” of odours, and ant workers usually behave aggressively to those who smell different,” he said.
The film is silent, and that’s how Twain will remain to history – sadly, no recordings exist of the famous author’s voice. But it’s not for lack of trying on Twain’s part. In 1891 Twain attempted to dictate his novella “An American Claimant.” But after burning through 48 wax cylinders in the phonograph, he gave up. Those 48 cylinders are now lost. He tried again in 1909 at Edison’s lab, but those recording were lost in a 1914 fire.
Naturalist David Attenborough once said: “If you collect 100 black ants and 100 red ants and put them in a glass jar nothing will happen, but if you take the jar, shake it violently and leave it on the table, the ants will start killing each other.”
While this quote may ring true to some readers, two things need to be considered. First, this quote did not come from Attenborough. And two, we are unaware of any scientific experiment that showed how red and black ants would co-exist in a glass jar until the jar was shaken.
“I can’t remember what all Frank had fighting in the jar that day, but I can remember other bug fights we staged later on: one stag beetle against a hundred red ants, one centipede against three spiders, red ants against black ants. They won’t fight unless you keep shaking the jar. And that’s what Frank was doing, shaking, shaking the jar.”
The earliest iteration that we could find of this viral message comes from an Oct. 3, 2020 Facebook post. That version did not credit Attenborough or provide any links directing to any sort of studies about red and black ants in a jar. Other posts from this time also credited an “unknown” or “anonymous” source. Attenborough’s name wasn’t attributed to this post until several months later.
We have not been able to find any credible sources attributing this quote to Attenborough. And while we have found plenty of videos of Attenborough talking about ants, we have not found anything specifically about red ants and black ants co-existing in a jar until someone shakes it. It is relatively common on social media to see a famous person’s name erroneously attached to a quote from a lesser-known or anonymous author. This appears to lend credibility to the writing, which in turn leads to an increase in shares.
PETALING JAYA: Police are tracking down 20 people who rioted during a wake at a funeral home in Johor Bahru on Tuesday.
Johor police chief Kamarul Zaman Mamat said all 20 are believed to be part of a secret society.
According to Bernama, Kamarul said the riot had broken out at the wake of a man who was shot dead the day before at Taman Melodies in Johor Bahru. The deceased, who was in his 30s, had several criminal records.
“The next day, during the wake, a group of 20 individuals came and caused a ruckus at the funeral home,” he told reporters at the Johor police contingent headquarters today.
He said police were investigating the shooting.
The case is being investigated under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder, and Section 148 of the Penal Code for rioting.
Asked if the incident was related to the murder of a man at a petrol station in Taman Pelangi in 2017, Kamarul said police were still investigating.
On Dec 17, 2017, a man in his 30s was stabbed to death after he was hit by a car driven by four men.
Kamarul Zaman berkata, sehari sebelum kejadian, seorang lelaki berusia 30an yang mempunyai beberapa rekod jenayah telah ditembak menggunakan senjata api di Taman Melodies.https://t.co/qHSJ6zp9pqhttps://t.co/qHSJ6zp9pq
