Here’s a summary of the recently passed Animal Welfare Bill, published by PetFinder.my. From PetFinder.my: We’ve just published an article to demystify the key components of Malaysia’s Animal Welfare Bill: http://www.petfinder.my/wagazine/201507/64759-demystifying-malaysias-animal-welfare-bill.htm We’ve summarized the 50 pages of legal jargon to more user-friendly layman terms, so the public can better understand the key points. Would be…

Dear applicants, Hari Raya falls on next Friday, so kindly use Pos Ekspres and Poslaju when submitting your applications. If possible, try to avoid the few days before and after the holidays as the postal staff is usually overwhelmed and from previous experience, mails are delayed (or sometimes, even lost, in the case of posting by…

Lately, we have been receiving many non-compliant applications (permohonan yang tidak mematuhi syarat-syarat yang tertera di dalam polisi kami). For the information of all supporters and well-wishers of AnimalCare, while we have the option of outright rejecting such claims, we still do not do this. Instead this is what we do: 1. Email, send smses or…

The old link to our subsidies does not work anymore, we have a new link now, which is www.animalcare.my/aid/.

I’m afraid I have to write this again. We truly appreciate people and organisations who refer animal caregivers to us so that they could apply for our subsidies. But could we please appeal to these well-intentioned people and organisations to either A. give the animal caregivers my email contact (chankahyein@gmail.com) or direct them to our…

Three days ago, we published that we needed printed receipts for claims. Since then we have received a few queries from rescuers who say that their vets are unable to issue printed receipts. We decided to ask for printed receipts because there was an unfortunate case of fraud recently. But since many rescuers now say…

This supercedes the information below: http://animalcare.my/2015/05/02/the-issue-about-the-receipt-for-claims/ Please ignore the information below and only refer to the link above. Dear Applicants, We wish to inform you that with effect from today, we require the fully itemised printed receipt (with your full name) when you apply for our neutering subsidies. If the printed receipt has no name on it, please request that the vet…

We wish to inform all applicants that with the implementation of the GST, we will continue to subsidise the neutering charges as per what is stated on the receipt. Our maximum subsidy of RM150 per dog and RM100 per cat will cover only the exact neutering charges excluding the GST. Due to the large volume…

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.…

Dear Applicants, Please be informed that the intergiro bank transfer fee of 10 sen has been increased to 11 sen as of today. A message from the bank this morning when I made a payment: A service charge of RM0.10 and Goods and Services Tax (“GST”) of RM0.01 (6% of RM0.10 service charge) will be…

This is to let everyone know that as an organisation, we are not GST-rated (of course!), but we are affected in that most of our Gifts by Donation come from companies that are GST-rated, hence the prices of many gifts will increase in April. If need be, we would have to adjust our prices of the…

Lately, we have received tampered receipts from applicants. It ranges from (1) adding details to the name because a nickname (or partial name) was written by the vet (we require full names on the receipt and it has to be the same as the bank account holder’s name), (2) cancelling someone else’s name and writing…

This is a quick note to let everyone know (in case you missed yesterday’s post) that we are back on track with our neutering subsidies. http://animalcare.my/2015/01/18/were-back-on-track-with-our-neutering-subsidies/ AnimalCare is NOT closing. We are very much alive! I have already written emails to the regular applicants to inform them that they may submit their applications. No need…

In the past few weeks, for every subsidy paid to regular applicants, I had written a personal request to them to please give me a few weeks’ break to recuperate before they send it their next applications. I thank you very much for your kind consideration. The initial (bad) news that we are closing down has…

I wish to thank everyone who has written in and visited me to offer suggestions on how I may go at a slower pace in the running of AnimalCare during my period of recuperation from the multiple illnesses which had plagued me for the past few months. AnimalCare is something very close to my heart and…
