More Rally Up-dates!

Remembering Sheena Campaign volunteers collected 4,589 signatures for the SPCA (Selangor & Federal Territory) during our rally which was held at its office at 4pm, Saturday (January 21, 2006).

Out of this, actress Susan Lankester submitted 4,200 which she and her friends had collected. A very big thank you to you!

The Ananda Marga Yoga Society (Selangor) brought in 125 signatures. Well done! Come on other religious bodies out there. Do your part for the animals too. Please come forward and help.

Many families, groups and individuals, including youths brought in a lot of signatures too. Thank you, each and every one of you. Be very proud of yourselves as you have helped to make our world a better place to live in.

About 150 people turned up at the rally to lend their support. We thank you too because your presence has given hope to our animal friends.

Thank you to sponsors YEO HIAP SENG for the drinks they had contributed, and AGAPE Magazine owned by Ancient of Days Enterprise for sponsoring the posters and the "We Want Justice For Animals" banner.

Members of the Press, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Adam Carruthers from TV8, KC Yap of NTV7, Berita Harian, New Straits Times, The Star, The Malay Mail, Sin Chew Jit Poh, Nanyang Siang Pau, China Press and Bernama Television. If I've missed out anyone, forgive me. It was unintentional.

Thank you Ida and Tim, DJs of REDFM 104.9, for going out of your way to help. Your presence at the rally is greatly appreciated. To all of you out there who do not know this, Ms Ida Mariana has an amazing voice. She led in singing our Remembering Sheena Rally song, The Rocky Road of An Animal, to the tune of Bob Dylan's "Blowin In The Wind".

Gloria Ting, Miss Malaysia/World 2004, how on earth did you manage to stay crisp and fresh in the afternoon heat, I'll never know. You're as gorgeous as always, and we thank you for gracing our rally with your presence. I must say, her dog named Oriel had us all coochy cooing around him or is it a her?

Thank you Mr Freddy Lim, Chief Trainer of the Malaysia Kennel Association (Selangor) and a big, big thank you to his lovely dogs. His dog, Porsche, handed over a red bag containing a roll of signatures in a very touching moment which was part of an official handing over of the signatures to SPCA's Animal Inspector, Sabrina Yeap.

Our thanks also to MKA Chairman, Datuk Fonseka, and Malaysian Association for Responsible Pet Ownership (Marpo) protem President, Dr Jon S. Satyamoorthy for attending the rally to lend us moral support.
