In the jungles of Negeri Sembilan lies a small animal shelter known as Cherish Life Home.
00:06
This shelter is run by Winnie Lau, a 67-year-old retired nurse.
00:11
Where once she cared for patients in a hospital, today Lau cares for almost 200 dogs and cats at this animal shelter.
00:24
They are all strays who have nowhere else to go.
00:28
For Lau, it all started when she agreed to a simple request by a security guard in her housing area.
00:34
Later, when he resigned, he asked if she would take over the job of feeding the strays in the area.
00:54
And once more, she agreed.
00:57
Besides feeding them, she is also a part of the Traff Neuter Release Program,
01:01
but it was the abused and injured ones that distressed her the most.
01:05
She rescued some of them and placed them in an animal shelter where she volunteered,
01:10
before starting Cherish Life Home in 2010.
01:15
Life is also precious, you know.
01:19
And I was thinking like, if we are to rescue and all that, let people know we cherish them also.
01:28
So I was thinking like, cherish, cherish a life.
01:33
So that's why I named it Cherish Life, and then it's our home.
01:40
Admittedly, running this home is tough.
01:43
Having sufficient funds for food and medicine is a constant worry.
01:47
Yet, she finds her fulfillment in seeing the animals thrive within the safe confines of the shelter,
01:54
away from the dangers of the streets.
01:56
Here, the cats and dogs live in spacious, partitioned spaces,
02:01
have dedicated playtimes, and enjoy the clean air and lush greenery.
02:07
I prefer not to have my location out,
02:12
because if they start dumping dogs or cats or whatever, it's dangerous.
02:20
Because this is a forest, jungle area, there's no body around.
02:27
So if you dump your dogs here, or even puppies, they will get killed, you know,
02:34
by wild dogs and wild boars.
02:38
For Lau, the animals of the shelter are more than just rescues.
02:43
They are all my children. They are all my children.
02:48
Very cute, aren't they all?
02:50
Once, she nursed ailing humans, but today Lau is devoted to caring for these animals.
03:00
Be kind to all living things.
03:04
Not only to stray dogs or stray cats.
03:09
They are also part of the community.
