Any person or company caught violating the ESA is liable to be prosecuted in Court and fined up to a maximum of S$50,000 for each animal or plant ( but not to exceed in the aggregate S$500,000 ) and/or to imprisonment for a term up to 2 years.

Pig-nose Turtles (PNT), otherwise known as Fly-river Turtles (FRT) were banned in early January of 2005. This means that only PNTs bought before then are legal to keep. Any PNT brought in/bought after 2005 MUST be surrendered to the AVA or if caught face the full force of the Singapore law.

**
If your Pig-nosed turtle was acquired before it was listed under CITES II in Jan 2005, it is legal to keep it. However, following their introduction to CITES II listings in 2005, one is NOT allowed to sell, trade or buy PNT, regardless of the date the PNT was acquired. Should one decide to give up his or her PNT, they are to surrender it to the AVA.

As a result, all threads involving the purchase, sale or trading of PNT will be closed without prior notice. Repeated attempts to sell, buy or trade PNT will result in further action.
