GOING MAINSTREAM, GOING UPSTREAM
http://www.mycen.com.my/rescue/updates.html

The Star (which I used to write a column), The Sun and China Press carried stories on the dogs' ordeal today. I also spoke to YB S Manikavasagam, the MP of Kapar this morning. He has promised to 'facilitate'. Pulau Ketam falls under his constituency.

My friend and fellow-blogger Antares wrote: "The true measure of civilization is the way a community deals with social outcasts like immigrants (legal or otherwise), stray dogs, and the transgendered." By this measure, "we remain classified as an Uncivilized Feudal State of Well-Dressed Primates", according to him.

True. But we must also salute the many caring Malaysians who are redeeming this awful image through volunteering, supporting with hard-earned money and helping to draw attention to the plight of the exiled.

We're off to Dog Island again this morning.
