DATELINE PETALING JAYA:
GOOD NEWS FOR PET OWNERS WITH DISABILITIES AND THE ELDERLY!
Local councils in Selangor State may very well give them free dog licenses in the near future.
This was announced by YB Ronnie Liu, the Selangor State Executive Councillor at MBPJ's Dog Forum at the Petaling Jaya Library this morning.
The response came from Liu after a unanimous call from about 300 hundred participants who included disabled persons who were blind and wheelchair-bound.
"Discounts for the elderly and the handicapped are certainly something that the Selangor Government can easily afford," pointed out Dr Chandra Muzaffar, the forum's keynote speaker and adviser to Petpositive.
Other issues brought up by participants was the need to create dog-parks in Malaysia, revise the Animal Ordinance Act of 1953 and start a spay and neuter facility in PJ.
The End.
