Default Re: Importing Nepenthes into Malaysia from Singapore

The article in the "Conservation and Forestry Laws in Malaysia" on the Resource page states...

"No person shall bring into the State or take out of the State any protected/wild plant except with an import/export permit/license. Any person who contravenes these laws commits an offense and shall be liable upon conviction to a fine of not more than RM50,000.00 or not more than 5 years imprisonment or both depending on whether the offense is commited in Sabah, Sarawak or Peninsular Malaysia. In some states, the penalty includes a fine of RM2,000.00 or five times the value of the plant imported or exported."

Click on the attachments "Forestry Act 1993 (Akta Perhutanan Negara 1993)" in the article to read the full pdf doc.
