I'm not sure I believe you about thatl, I REALLY want to not believe you, but if it's true, then that sucks
The point of this law is not to preserve fish that have already been taken from the wild, as the deed is already done, so these fish are not protected and can be destroyed. The law is there to prevent any new ones being caught in the wild and imported for the US market.
Fully agreed, it's not on either of us to explain this, just offering our points as we see them in the post. My comment about SEA in general is quite true, though you are correct I should have said many SEA countries (but not all) -- for sure Singapore is one of the least corrupt countries in the world if not the best in this regard, I wish the other countries in the region would follow suit.
Also to clarify to anyone else, it's certainly not my intention to get anyone in trouble by further contributing to this post by OP -- my main intention was to a) clarify the laws which OP was asking about and b) persuade him that following suit probably wouldn't be a good idea.
The OP , if really interested, would have approached the owner or staff of the restaurant
Maybe he was shy to ask the owner, given the potential delicacy of the issue, I don't know. But actually yeah I'm starting to believe Coryloach's question and OP's intent myself, perhaps I naively didn't consider he might have ulterior motives. Maybe with any future such posts, for my part I would consider to either ignore them or possibly use the Report button and let mods try to figure out OP's intentions and whether or not to delete the post.

Well. Good morning MFKs..
I have to hurry to steep off my desk for this continue discussions..
I seeing this thread being hijack some how, the main purpose of this thread is to continue to discussion about arowana and laws.
•I wouldn't report for the fish or the owner because i will find myself/ and yourself being AH. And if that happen this thread never assist. Myself i have 3 arowana too. Common sense.
•if you asked why I wouldn’t ask the owner? Sorry i am supper shy and emotional person. Event then, one of those day, some1 come to you and asked you about how to breed arowana successfully would you beable to say? Rarely, not completely
•seen some1 mention about lucky case no1 know yet: i dont think so in my view point, we talking about a expensive car being stoled and being show off at the car show and the law enforcement doesnt notice. Disagreed.
•some also mentioned the fish had proper docs: as we all know, nearly impossible.
•some said the owner may doesnt know it protected fish: i disagreed too, we can not assuming a person own a luxury car and he did not know his car cost 100 time more expensive than the other.
•I personally built and ran the commercial .asp shopping back in 2001, so internet informations no big deal to find. BUT i/we can not saying we know everything, there alot of things we didn’t know/out of update/lubhole etc, that the reason for this thread to be continued.
•i dont know why dont we just look this way: law banned a fish that nobody can own, procession/buy/sell but in fact there is some way we can legally continue to own with some cost after all? I think it a very good point and interested to know and learn more.
•maybe right now we are too late for that opportunity to own 1 but what are we missing for that opportunity? Wouldn’t you considering it a good thing to know?
•if you read my post earlier you will understand the purpose for this post. And sorry for the miss understanding. However, I totally agreed my pic may or may not affecting directly to the fish but if you hit me a pm and asked where do i see? Congratulations you also being D.A because it not my obligation but ur under my constitution right.
I will ask the admin to delete the pics if you think that necessary.

I think allot of the frustration lies in the fact that for many yrs they've been captive bred but the current laws just havent caught up to the times.
Pretty cool vid. A little long but worth the watch. Its kind of nice to see how these fish are incorporated into the family's every day lives.
