IMPORTANT MESSAGE From Engchi’s Shelter.
A volunteer who has been with Engchi’s shelter for 3 months period has decided to leave. We are thankful for her service but there are few issues we must clarify upon her resignation as a volunteer.
1. Donation and funding:
For those who have directly donate items or funds for Engchi’s shelter to Ms. April, we have only received an RM500 cheque from her so far, since EngChi’s death. Although she claimed that she is just a volunteer, she is controlling the expenditure of the shelter's account. She chooses not to clear off current debt, for what reason? We do not know. There are times where volunteers were unable to make claims as she didn’t approve.
From our understanding, when aunty passed away, she contacted aunty’s usual donors but so far, we hear nothing from them at all.
We only have a bank account for Engchi’s shelter, which is registered to Lau Voon Chen -aunty’s son. In the future, if you wish to do an in-kind or cash donation, please contact us directly at FB messenger or direct deposit to the account below.

2. Regarding Food cut:
She reduces the budget for food supply without discussing this matter with other volunteers. There are two volunteers who come in daily to feed the dogs. According to them, the previous amount of food prepared is just enough for all of them, including the 10 dogs that are still located at the old shelter. As she decided to reduce the food, since then, the landlord helps us to cook extra food to feed the dogs for the past few weeks. We are very thankful for his act of kindness as he didn’t ask any favour in return.
3. Vet visit and medication:
Since day 1 she managed the shelter, she rarely steps into the shelter. For any dogs that are unwell, she will instruct volunteers to feed antibiotics, without proper diagnosis and without doctors’ prescription. Due to that, it has caused a lot of health issues among the healthy puppies as we suspected those medications have compromised their immunity. There are times where the medication is given wasn’t recommended by vets and she argues that her method will work better than vets. Furthermore, when the dogs are sick, she restricts volunteers to bring them to the vet.
The past few weeks have been a living hell for the volunteers as some dogs are suffering from excessive coughing and fever, lethargy, and loss of appetite. Volunteers then decided to do a house call and pay on their own, the total cost is RM 540. Today, all those dogs are very active and healthier after a doctor’s visit.
She has too, promises a volunteer that she will vaccinate ALL Engchi’s dog before she leaves. As of today, no vaccination is scheduled, and some dogs are still recovering hence unable to vaccinate.
“Whichever survive, then will do the vaccination” – Ms. April.
Prior to her “OFFICIAL” resignation, she has caused many misunderstandings and arguments between volunteers, Engchi’s family members, and the landlord. We manage to straighten out everything with all the key person, therefore this post is made.
Thank you for your support towards Engchi’s shelter. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us. Thank you.
英姐浪浪收容所的重要宣布!
一名已我们一起打理收容所的义工即将要离开我们了,我们很感激她对收容所的付出。但是,在她离开之前,我们必须在这澄清几个问题。
1. 捐赠和资金
对于直接向英姐收容所捐赠物品或资金给April女士的人,自英姐去世以后,到目前为止,通过她的,我们只有收到一位捐赠者的RM500支票。她声称自己只是一名义工,但她控制着帐户的支出。当户口里还有资金的时候,她选择不还清当前债务是出于什么原因呢?我们也不清楚。
有时其他义工们买了东西给收容所,她不让她们索取费用。
据我们了解,当英姐过世时,她亲历亲为的联系了英姐电话里的捐赠者们,但到目前为止,没有一位英姐的捐赠者来联系到我们。
收容所的银行帐户只有一个,该帐户是注册于(Lau Voon Chen)英姐的儿子。将来,如果您希望现金捐赠或是物资,请直接联系英姐浪浪收容所的面子书或直接存入以下帐户。

2. 减少食物量
在没有与其他义工们讨论此事,她自作主张减少了狗狗们的食品供应预算。每天有两名义工来收容所。根据她们的说法,之前的食物量是足以满足所有的狗狗,包括仍然留在旧收容所的10只狗狗们。自从她决定减少食物以来,收容所的房东一直在过去的几个星期里都帮忙煮给它们吃,也不和我们收钱。我们很感恩有这位屋主的帮忙。
3. 医疗和药物治疗
从她开始管理收容所,她几乎都没来。凡是有出现轻微生病症状的狗狗,她没来确认病情也没有医生的指示和判断下,她吩咐义工们喂抗生素。因此,很多收容所里的幼犬引起了很多健康上的问题。义工们怀疑这些药物损害了狗狗们的免疫系统。这些药物兽医都不推荐服用,但她认为她自己的方法比兽医更有效。此外,当狗生病时,她限制义工们带去兽医那里。
过去的几周,义工们都很忐忑不安。因为有些狗狗患有咳嗽,发烧,昏昏欲睡和食欲不良。因此,义工们决定自行付费请兽医到收容所替狗狗们诊断,总费用为540令吉。今日,被诊断过的狗狗们都恢复了食欲,还很活跃。
她也有答应一位义工说到在她离开前会为收容所的每一只狗狗接种疫苗。直到今天,尚未进行此计划,一些狗狗仍在恢复当中,也因此无法接种疫苗。
“只要幸存下来,就接种疫苗” – April女士对那位义工说的。
从她开始管理英姐收容所以来,她在我们(义工,英姐家庭成员和房东)之间已经引起了很多误解和争论。
我们和其他的人了解来龙去脉之后,决定发布了这篇文章来澄清。
感谢大家对英姐收容所的支持,有问题可以联络我们,谢谢。
