Context
Funnily enough, this revelation is surprising to many in Malaysia because it is not common knowledge despite this initiative not being a new thing at all.
Pet passports have been available in Malaysia since 2010.
It is issued to four types of animals: Cats, dogs, rabbits and horses.
The animal identification card was launched under the Malaysian Animal Traceability System (MATs) Project.
Its aim is to build a formal animal identification database system to help control animal diseases.
It has effectively been a programme that has been ongoing for a decade for pet owners there.
The cost to get one for a pet along with a microchip and vaccination is only RM85 (S$27.80) and is available at Hospital Veterinar Kuala Lumpur at Cheras.
go la.. microchip (with passport) + vaccine = RM85 at Dept of Vet Services Hospital Cheras.
