SINGAPORE — NParks has concluded its investigations into the alleged animal welfare-related offences by Platinium Dogs Club, more than a year after the saga over the controversial pet boarding facility first came into the spotlight.

Giving the update in a parliamentary written reply, National Development Minister Lawrence Wong said, “The matter is currently undergoing legal assessment. It would not be appropriate to share investigation findings at this stage.”

The animal welfare activist said in a Facebook post on 17 February, “What happened there has raised many questions and the investigations should help shed light on what happened to the animals in its care. It’s time for an update.” The AVA said on 9 January 2019 that its preliminary investigations revealed that Prince, a Shetland sheepdog, had died during its stay at Platinium and was cremated.
