“A former contract worker, Md Azmi Ismail, 54 or popularly known as Pak Mie has found his truly affection by helping cats and dogs for almost 20 years. This jobless man started giving foods to stray animals and treated them as well. His noble work is helped by his own wife, Halijah Idris (Mak Intan), 64 that share the same empathy towards all these cute creatures. At the beginning, they only have 60 cats but the number keep increasing day by day till it reaches to 200 cats. Because of their love and sympathy, they also helped to give treatment to street dogs but they did not bring them home since Pak Mie and his wife lived in residential area. Later, they started to build a shelter at the free space near the river at Tanjung Bendahara, Alor Setar, which is also their home. By having this shelter, every cats and dogs that need help and treatment will be brought here by Pak Mie to be looked after. Today, there are nearly 500 dogs and 200 cats at this shelter with lot of conditions. Some of them are taken around Alor Setar and some are sent by people all over the Peninsular of Malaysia. Pak Mie spends almost RM 500 per day in order to take care these animals. They cook 40 kilograms of rice and 10 kilograms of fish to be given to these animals as food every day. Pak Mie would collect scraps and pawned all his wife jewelries in order to feed the animals. They also have receiving fund, but then it is not enough to sustain the needs of these animals. Despite their good deeds, most Malay Muslims in local area criticize them because of the act of taking care of dogs. These Muslims people keep argue about the God will in holding dogs then helping them with the needs. The trouble does not ends here, now Pak Mie and Mak Intan have to face the crisis of land ownership and the authorities have asked them to relocate the shelter to a new place at the latest by May 2013.”
