A gentle reminder about using real names and not tampering with receipts

This post is especially for applicants to our Fund.

Please read this first: http://animalcare.my/2015/02/12/tampered-receipts-will-not-be-accepted/

We are still receiving tampered receipts and 100% of the time, applicants are unaware that the receipt is an official document that should not be tampered with. Sad to say, they also do not realise that tampering with receipts is a crime.

Could we please remind all applicants that if anything is missing from or erroneous on the receipt, they could go back to their vet to get the relevant details written on a note, signed and stamped by the clinic? Please do not add anything onto the receipt by yourself. That’s called “tampering”.

An easier way would be to:

1. READ the policies sent in our first email to you (please see below).

2. USE your real names at the clinic, not pseudonyms or nick-names. Personally, I do have a wee bit of problem in understanding why many people have problems with their own names. Aren’t we born with a name on our birth certificate? Why can’t we just stick to our birth-name?

3. CHECK the receipt before leaving the clinic to ensure that all details are correct.

If the above is done, then there will be no delay in our disbursement of funds to the applicants. There will be no need for Jenny Wong to explain to us that her real name is actually “Wong Siew Ling” and even so, Jenny would still have to go back to the clinic to get the vet to write a note that says Receipt No (whatever) is issued to Wong Siew Ling before we can bank in our subsidy to Wong Siew Ling’s bank account.

Our policies are translated from English to Chinese and Bahasa Malaysia and these are sent to all applicants when they first write. We urge them to read it.

SAMPLE cat neuter 1 SAMPLE dog neuter 1
*Wipes sweat off brow.*
“Taking a walk in park before coming back to computer to look at today’s claims.*
facepalm
Back from walk in park now:
We can reject three of today’s claims:
1. Receipt only issued to partial name, not full name, but since this is already a re-submission, we shall (*deep breath*) see what we can do to help. Deadline also exceeded and already extended for the re-submission.
2. Receipt issued to another person, not the applicant – Sorry, rejected!
3. Claiming for 4 cats, but only sent photos of 2 cats, both unlabeled – are they the same cat? I cannot tell – Sorry, rejected!
Have written to No. 2 and No. 3 to ask for re-submission.

 Thank you, Cleo…

    It makes me sad to read this post, the content of which I’m sure you’ve posted at least ten times over the years. I guess, though, that there will always be a new crop of people who would like to take advantage of your good will. Let’s just hope there is an equally energetic new crop of people who are sincerely seeking your assistance to help the animals! Bless you for your patience and clarity, Kah Yein!
