Three girls risk their safety for dogs in Pulau Ketam

I look as fascinating to see three girl jumps in the water just to get a dog in a very difficult place. I respect their kind heart without condition but it just a bit disturbing because they don't have any plan or some safety plan to get the dog out.



Pamela, the girl who wears a bandanna doesn’t really know that the mangroves are very steep and it look like the dog don't even dare to jump into the water. I wonder if she makes a wise decision to climb to the platform. Does she have any safety training or experience to get the dog out from there? I believe a trained fireman or rescue squad will not attempt those tasks without having a safety gear and plan.



Marjorie and Karin walk at that slippery soil bare foot that might turn out to be a soft spot with mangrove branches and roots hidden deep in the soil or water. One mistake slip might turn out to be a rescue attempt for them. I admire their passion to get the dog but i can see that they don't seem to be fit to attempt this quite difficult rescue. I wonder if this rescue plans worth their life and safety. I think they should bring an expert along or at least brief of dos and don’ts.

Boycott Pulau Ketam as a tourist spot

Due to the incident by Pulau Ketam resident dumping 300 helpless dog to unman island, i would like to suggest a boycott this place as a tourism attraction. The reluctant by the resident to cooperate on the rescue activities telling us that they have no sense of passion and pity over animal and I don't think animal lover would like to spent their money on a place that has a bad record on animal treatment.

Almost nobody will lift a finger to help without a fee. This is understandable. The locals are already shaking their heads in disbelief that there are outsiders who want to save the animals they so casually discarded. Instead of pointing fingers and antagonizing them, we need their co-operation to help save the unfortunate creatures. In the process, we also hope to educate the islanders on better treatment of animals. It would be an impossible mission if we didn't win their hearts.

I understand that the write of this blog still have compassion and forgiveness towards the local resident but i think they just taking advantages over the rescue activities and trying to earn extra money out from people who trying to save the dogs.



It is no surprised that the municipal district office know to ill treated abandoned dogs at the streets by killing them with gun or stick cruelly in front the public. I don't know if public money was used to pay the local resident to dump the dogs to unman island by their local municipal office.

Is this the way MPK and its councillors wanted these dogs to die a painful and a 'horribly slow' death? Did the people of Pulau Ketam enjoyed the RM90.00 per dog paid to them by taxpayers' money? Just what did they do with the money? A new LCD TV? More Yam Sengs? China Dolls?

It was clear that the local residents cooperate with the municipal district office over the plan and get payment that believed come from the tax payer money. I hope that the local resident realized that this action will give them a bad reputation if they want Pulau Ketam to be a tourist spot among the oversea tourist that threat their animal better than us.

300 dogs dumped in an isolated island in Pulau Ketam

'Dumped' dogs turn to cannibalism - BBC

I read with disbelieve that about 300 dogs were expelled to unman island by Pulau Ketam resident. Luckily some people realized this incident and reported to the online media and some people already started to make an effort to save all of them. Some dogs already died and some might not be safe. This event tells us that dogs are not excluded from deportation other than those illegal people that come to our country to earn a living.

One blogger wrote and documented the incident by taking photos of the dogs that stranded in the island. It is not a pleasant photo to see because i can't help wondering it could be people or illegals left at the stranded island.

Photo: Dog, Dog and Dogs

I was looking back some of my old photo and found few photos of a dog. Most of the shot taken at my home. Most of girls like dog. I don't know why but they sure get excited when looking at a dog photos and don't mention the real one. From cute puppy dog to fierce Doberman and rotwiller.


This one was taken last year with a video digital camera that i hardly use.


They are best buddies.


The dog was thinking what am i doing and where he can bite me.


Beauty, my friend's bitch.. yes literary.


He got the kick out of it chasing or being chased by only kancil and yes, he remember the brand.


He got the balls or not? No i don't think so...
