  • Coming back from a setback (for animal rescuers and caregivers)

    As you know, our Grey tshirts are going for RM20 because for every tshirt sold, Lee Li Lian is topping up RM5 to our Fund. We wish to thank everyone for helping to push the sales of our Grey tshirt. The plan is to sell off Grey, Blue, Green and Red and concentrate only on…

  • How to fill up our subsidy form

  • A note about Pos Ekspres and persistent late applications

    Lately, a lot of applications have arrived late even though they were sent by Pos Ekspres (which is what we recommend our applicants to do because it’s much cheaper than Poslaju and it used to guarantee a next-day delivery). So I went to enquire at the post office and was told that there is no…
