Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Minister Susi Pudjiastuti has called on Singapore to combat the smuggling of lobster larvae into the city-state.
Susi said Singapore should reject any shipments of lobster larvae that do not have a health certificate issued by Quarantine Management System “The lobster larvae are smuggled into Singapore and then they are exported to Vietnam. We want the Singapore government to reject [the commodity],” Susi said in a press conference in Batam, Riau Islands, on Monday.
“Singapore should not have allowed live animals without health certificates into the country. How can Singapore’s quarantine office allow them to enter? […] I really do not understand.”
