SINGAPORE — Ahead of an inspection by Housing and Development Board (HDB) officers, a 37-year-old man whose wife kept more than 20 cats at home told her he would take some of their cats to an animal shelter.

Muhammad Al-Imran M Roslan put eight cats into a cage, but instead of taking them to a shelter, he drove them to a HDB bin centre and released them.

Al-Imran was told to “act on it” and that an inspection would be conducted in two weeks, said National Parks Board prosecutor Wendy Tan. He then drove to Block 462 Choa Chu Kang Avenue 4 and released them near the bin centre at about 5.50pm. Al-Imran later confessed to abandoning them, which the prosecutor said was done without “reasonable cause or excuse”.On Wednesday, Al-Imran told the court that he had tried to reach out to the animal shelters but claimed all of them told him they were full and unable to accept his cats.
