KUALA LUMPUR: All business licences and special permits awarded to convicted wildlife smuggler Anson Wong and his wife Cheah Bing Shee have been revoked.
The Natural Resources and Environment Ministry said in a statement that the minister decided to revoke the permits and licences on Sept 22.
It said new applications from Cheah for new wildlife permits would also be denied.
The ministry said the National Wildlife and Parks Department (Perhilitan) would be taking steps to confiscate all the animals still in the couple's possession.
Wong, who was caught at the KL International Airport on Aug 26 while on transit from Penang to Jakarta, was sentenced on Sept 6 to six months’ jail and fined RM190,000 by the Sepang Sessions Court.
