MALACCA: Dog owners in terrace houses in the state will be allowed to keep their dogs until a win-win solution is reached with all stakeholders. Earlier, state Housing, Local Government and Environment Committee chairman Datuk Ismail Othman said four local councils issued 3,013 dog licences this year although the ban on dog ownership has been in force since 2013. Local councils do not simply deny licences if the dogs pose no threat to neighbours," he was quoted as saying. Ismail said the local councils have been approving dog licences for those in intermediate terrace houses if neighbours on both sides were agreeable to it.
