My name is Shameem Siah Li Ming and I work for the Animal Medical Centre, a highly respected veterinary hospital established 36 years ago in central Kuala Lumpur. The centre was founded by Dr Siva, a very compassionate man with a love for all animals. Although Dr Siva continues to be involved, his two sons are now responsible for the day to day running of the centre. My responsibility is marketing, operation and vet nursing based at the main hospital.
There are three other branches with one being at The Pet Safari (pet superstore), my previous employer, where I was responsible for organising World Animal Day events in 2006 and 2007. For more information about the work of the centre, please visit www.animalhospital.com.my
In Malaysia, it's all about education at the end of the day and no matter how slow and backwards this country is when it comes to pet care, we must continue to educate and never give up.
We started this year with Valentine’s Day which we decided to rename 'Paw-lentine’s Day’ to give the 4-legged companions the opportunity to celebrate it. To read about how Benji celebrated Pawl-lentine's Day please visit his blog at babybenji@blogspot.com
