00:00There is a cow that has been assembled in the village of Mochis, Shah Alam.

00:06We don't know how the cow is caught, what is the mistake of the cow,

00:12and how the situation of cow is caught, and what is happening next to them.

00:19But we know that the cow is caught by the cow,

00:24and how the cow is caught, and how the cow is caught, and how the cow is caught.

00:31And we know that the cow is caught by the police, but after that,

00:41and so on today, there is no action that is at the top of him.

00:47When it is caught with the cow, there are some things that can happen to the cow.

00:52First of all, when the cow is caught, it is a toxic to the skin,

00:58and it can cause to the skin, and maybe there is a shock to the skin.

01:02Second of all, the cow is caught,

01:05maybe it can cause cause problems like a napkin,

01:09because the cow is caught directly to the muka of the cow.

01:14And also, when the cow is caught, it can cause stress to the cow,

01:19and it can cause the cow is caught, and the cow is caught, and the cow is caught more aggressive.

01:24Number one, where did the cage come from?

01:27If the cage came from Perhiletan, then Perhiletan is responsible for the health and safety of that monkey.

01:33So it is clear that allowing that monkey to be tortured in this way,

01:38Perhiletan is at fault for not monitoring the cage.

01:41And how can you keep a monkey in a cage for an extended period of time without food and water?

01:46This is clearly abuse.

01:47Number two, an animal, a monkey for example, that is abused, it is a wildlife.

01:53So, the perpetrator should be charged under Section 86 of the Wildlife Conservation Act 2010.

01:59You can also take action under the Animal Welfare Act.

02:02There is nothing to stop the authorities from taking action under Animal Welfare Act Section 39,

02:09which also allows for action to be taken against any animal abuse.

02:13Now, the question is this, why wasn't he charged?

02:15And the action was caught on video.

02:19What is taking Perhiletan so long?

02:20Why are they not charging?

02:22Why are they sitting on it?

02:23Have they taken possession of the monkey?

02:26Have they given the monkey medical treatment?

02:28Where is the monkey now?

02:30Nothing.

02:31We are completely in the dark.

02:32Why are we completely in the dark?

02:33Because Perhiletan is not updating us.

02:35So we don't know if the monkey is with Perhiletan or with Samadhan?

02:39No idea at all.

02:40And another body that should be updating us is the Animal Welfare Board.

02:44Now, the Animal Welfare Board, their job is Animal Welfare.

02:48Where are they?

02:49Why are they keeping quiet?

02:50Why is there not a single statement from the Animal Welfare Board?

02:53Why this deafening silence?

02:55It is imperative that the Malaysian public be updated and informed.

03:00But no, we are kept in the dark.

03:04Unacceptable.
