Very touched by her example

At a time when the nation is outraged by the mutilation of cats and dogs, one woman chose to rescue a cat from a block in Sri Penara Apartment, Bandar Sri Permaisuri, Cheras, Kuala Lumpur.

In fact, it was her child who first spotted the cat and took photographs to show Kak Shaa, a volunteer at Taman Kucing in Bandar Tun Razak.

The cat’s condition was heartbreaking, with part of its bone exposed when Kak Shaa finally found it after searching for several days.

Unable to attend to it herself due to her busy schedule, she enlisted the help of another volunteer to take the cat, now named Belang, to a veterinarian for treatment.

Part of Belang's leg had to be amputated. Two rounds of surgery were carried out, according to Kak Shaa.

The second volunteer promised that she would be willing to take care of Belang despite now only having three legs. But Kak Shaa has to raise the fund to pay for Belang's medical bill which comes to be RM1855.40.

When I was finally able to contact her, a total of RM1208.40 has been raised. Shortly after, Kak Shaa told me she will close the donation.

“Someone has stepped forward to pay the remaining amount,” she announced delightfully.

Who could that angel be? Although Kak Shaa did not mention the name, I believe we can guess…especially agree watching this video.

What a wonderful display of the Malaysian spirit as we move forward to become a Mahani (civilised) nation.

My heart will go on

It must be at least twenty years ago when I first encountered Malaysia’s very own Stevie Wonder, Colin Ng Soon Beng. It was during Chinese New Year, at the home of a mutual friend. Colin was only about ten years old then. His mother introduced him to me as a “special child.” She said, “Pick a song. We’ll play it for Colin to listen, and he will play it back for you.” I chose My Heart Will Go On from Titanic. To this day, Colin still remembers that it was the song he played for me. Born with multiple disabilities, Colin’s journey has been anything but ordinary. Being visually impaired, he could not learn music the way most children do. Yet God blessed him with an extraordinary gift: a razor-sharp ear. He could identify the brand of a photocopier or the model of a car simply by hearing its sound. His mother, Janet, devoted her life to nurturing his talent. After losing her husband when Colin was 24, she became not only a mother but also a father figure, chauffeur, and companion in ...

DALAM EMPAT BAHASA/ IN FOUR LANGUAGES/在四种语言中/ நான்கு மொழிகளில்: A Piece of Good News Worth Celebratinng

Akhirnya, anak Sarawak ini — Soliman Wan — telah menerima kewarganegaraannya! Dilahirkan 52 tahun lalu di kawasan pedalaman Sarawak, bukan sesuatu yang mudah bagi ayah dan ibunya untuk ke bandar bagi mendaftarkan kelahriannya. Tambahan pula, pada waktu itu, ramai penduduk di Sabah dan Sarawak kurang memahami kepentingan dokumen rasmi sebagai bukti status kewarganegaraan. Soliman dilahirkan pada tahun 1974, ketika Malaysia baru berusia 13 tahun. Kefahaman mengenai kewarganegaraan masih belum begitu meluas, terutamanya dalam kalangan masyarakat yang tercicir daripada arus pembangunan dan sistem pendidikan negara. Kehidupan Soliman sebagai seorang pastor penuh dengan cabaran. Tanpa kewarganegaraan, beliau tidak dapat memiliki kad pengenalan, memohon pasport, membuka akaun bank, dan pergerakannya sangat terhad, malah di dalam negara sendiri. Gajinya terpaksa dibayar melalui akaun individu lain yang dipercayai. Kini, dengan penganugerahan kewarganegaraan ini, komuniti Kristian di gerejanya ...

Aduan Sifar: Tauladan Dato' Zahri Samingon menerajui Aduan Sifar untuk MBPJ perlu dicontohi oleh Yang DIPertua Majlis-majlis lain

Saya amat kagum dengan Datuk Bandar Petaling Jaya, Dato’ Zahri Samingon. Dalam satu perbincangan ringkas melalui WhatsApp, saya menyuarakan kebimbangan bahawa kesesakan lalu lintas yang ketara berkemungkinan berlaku di persimpangan Jalan 16/11 dan Jalan 17/1 dalam beberapa bulan akan datang. Saya baru sahaja dimaklumkan bahawa satu lagi jemaah gereja berskala besar akan berpindah ke situ pada bulan Julai, yang hampir pasti akan menambah tekanan di persimpangan yang sedia sibuk tersebut. Dalam perbualan kami menggunakan WhatsApp, saya mengemukakan beberapa cadangan dan menjelaskan satu konsep yang saya percaya beliau sudah pun faham dengan baik, iaitu Zero Complaints (Aduan Sifar). Ini merupakan satu prinsip yang kami pelajari di bawah sistem Excellence Through Quality (EQ) yang diperkenalkan oleh guru kualiti Philip Crosby. Konsep Zero Complaints ini ringkas tetapi sangat berkesan—ia bermaksud bersifat proaktif : menjangka masalah dan menyelesaikannya sebelum ia menjadi isu awa...
