BESIDES being Chairman of the Disability Technical Monthly
Meetings at the Petaling Jaya City Council,
I also chaired the Canine Advisory Team groups in MBPJ and MPK.
Set up
about six months after I became councillor, we met at least once a month
to look into animal welfare issues in the local council.
We discovered
that coming together to talk about how to tackle stray animal issues to
promoting responsible pet ownership
programmes were far more effective than only just performing
fire-fighting tasks such as catching dogs and fining owners.
Our
meetings got so popular that we soon had the other 11 councils from
Selangor wanting to join us. We even had historic visits from Penang and
Ipoh to learn about some of our magic.
It is imperative that this meetings go
on, especially with the growing awareness of residents about animal
welfare and cruelty issues. Here is one of our last meetings preparing
for World Animal Day, celebrated for the first time in history by MBPJ
and DBKL in 2013.
It was a thumping success.
