I have a chat with a nursery boss during my visit few days ago, he had advised me to apply permit for Akta 686. Malaysia Goverment has annouce this : http://www.doa.gov.my/pqnet/bm/annou...an_AKTA686.pdf


Wish to know more about this. I think we should discuss this and get all the forummer ready for this.

And do wwe have to bring them to somewhere or what? 1 plant 1 permit? Or need money (I'm migrating to Singapore if that happens)?

I made google translate it for me but I think part of it was 'lost in translation',

Specially the waste part. Anyway from what I gather wow, it means everyone who maintains or own a threatened species needs a permit, regardless of where it was purchased. It seems like it applies not only to import or export but also owning. I think that this is a bit crazy and difficult to enforce... or make it difficult for hobbyists. I mean what about man made hybrids? etc.

Hope a member who is in the position to confirm and clarify this will post an update and clarification for everyone's benefit.
