I am a dog lover, I have 3 dogs and they are all rescued from the street since they were pups. Well, some would say that is no big deal. Ya, that is no big deal.
Auntie Kiew is a true animal lover. She has one dog and one cat staying with her in apartment. So, what is so big deal?? Well, she also feeds around 40 stray dogs and 15 cats every day, with no fear of rain or sun, in her neighbourhood nearby in Old Klang Road!! Interested to know more?
Aunty Kiew is a forty something lady who is not working. The food she feeds the dogs and cats come from her pocket money from her husband. She is the kind of person that will spend the last RM10 of money she has for the animals even if she is in hunger. Aunty Kiew stays in Old Klang Road behind the Esso petrol station. Her daily chores starts by going to the market in the early morning to buy raw chicken neck, chicken head and other organ parts that are unwanted by some household. She will then de-skin the chicken and sorted it out for cooking (a little story of the reason she has to de-skin and cook the meat separately is because her kitchen caught fire once due to the chicken fat that spilt out from the pot when she put everything in to boil) . This is done at around 11am. When it is about 2pm, she will start cooking rice and mix with dog kibbles.
When you ultimately see her in the evening at around 6pm (without fail), she is with a big pail of rice (note, this is the type of pail that we used to put our laundry or for filling up water in the toilet) mixed with cooked chicken and dog kibbles. She can easily be recognised in a big pink hat and long sleeves shirt and pants with whole body covered (because she has to go inside the bushes to feed some timid dogs). She will also carry a big bag containing cat foods, ready for distribution to the "beloved residents", the stray dogs & cats. The dogs and cats will normally wondering around every corner outside the apartment at this hour, including along the road side, bushes area and some around the temple nearby. Aunty Kiew will then lay down newspapers and put the food for them to eat.
If you love cats and dogs, this is a very touching scene that is filled with love and passion. She has been doing this for the past 3 years till present. Now the problem is that, these locations are not of quite areas. DBKL dog catcher team normally comes 1 or 2 times in about less than 2 months period. This is her biggest fear and my fear too (because she will call me up and cry about her dogs that are captured). I have even drove her to Setapak dog pound to look for her captured dogs and I can tell you, not everybody can bear the scene, the conditions of the animals are very pityful and pathetic as well!
As I am alone together with my husband helping her, our capability is very limited. So, if you think you are able and would like to help the dogs and cats, you can consider to adopt them or sent aunty Kiew in kinds. She will also be very greatful if you can help up in spaying those dogs. She can be contacted at 016-3579604. Aunty Kiew only speaks Cantonese, Malay or Hokkien.
