Sign the Petition
Target: Masri Daud, Director of Prosecution Division, Attorney General’s Chambers, Putrajaya, Malaysia
Goal: Secure the harshest lawful penalties—including imprisonment and lifelong animal-ownership ban—for the man who reportedly bludgeoned a neighbor’s cat and tried to hide her injured body in a drain.
A terrified Turkish Angora named Manis, normally an indoor companion, vanished one May morning. Hours later, her guardian purportedly saw an elderly neighbor behaving suspiciously beside a roadside drain. When she looked inside, she reportedly found Manis blood-covered and barely breathing. Closed-circuit footage apparently shows the same man striking the cat, hurling her into an empty yard, and then shoving her into the drain to conceal the evidence.
Police have confirmed that the suspect, believed to be in his seventies, allegedly admitted attacking the cat because he was “annoyed.” Although emergency care spared Manis broken bones, veterinarians found fluid in her lungs and fear lasting trauma.
Under Malaysia’s Animal Welfare Act 2015, cruelty can carry a three-year prison term and heavy fines—yet abusers too often receive mere slaps on the wrist. Swift, serious punishment is crucial. A strong sentence will affirm that companion animals are not disposable objects and will deter copy-cat violence in communities across Malaysia. Anything less sends the dangerous message that brutalizing a helpless pet is a minor offense. Sign below to demand maximum charges and a lifetime prohibition on keeping animals.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Director Masri Daud,
A recent case from Segamat illustrates the urgent need for decisive prosecution of animal cruelty. According to police statements and neighborhood CCTV, an elderly resident beat a neighbor’s Turkish Angora cat with a stick, tossed the wounded animal into a vacant compound, and then tried to hide her in a drain. He later allegedly admitted to the assault.
The victim, Manis, survived only after intensive veterinary intervention; she was apparently found soaked in blood and struggling to breathe. This horrifying act appears premeditated, violent, and utterly devoid of compassion. Such suspected conduct presents a clear danger not only to animals but to public safety, as research repeatedly links animal cruelty with broader violent behavior.
We respectfully urge the Prosecution Division to pursue the highest charges and penalties available under the Animal Welfare Act 2015 and the Penal Code. A custodial sentence, a substantial fine commensurate with the severity of the harm, mandatory counseling, and a lifelong prohibition on owning or caring for animals would send a vital deterrent message. Anything less would undermine the law’s intent and fail Manis, whose suffering demands meaningful accountability.
Malaysia’s commitment to humane values is judged by how strongly it defends the most vulnerable. Please help ensure that this reported act of cruelty is met with the full force of justice.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

Horrible thing to do to any animal and vile POS who deserves severe punishment.
BUT – I also have to say, people need to stop leaving their cats out to roam. They DO mark neighbors’ property and kill small animals, and considering there are evil nutcases out there who get pissed off by this and will take this out on the animal, the smart thing to do is keep your pet indoors.
In his 70’s. DON’T LET HIM GET OLDER!!! Torture the evil POS
Well I say “Karma!!” Maybe the same treatment should be done to him!! Let that be his punishment!! If he lives hopefully he will be in injured for the
Rest of his miserable LIFe!!!! That’s if he makes it out of the drain!!!
Bring his old a$$ to me… I’ll beat him to death.
No individual capable of such a violent and cruel act against an innocent, SENTIENT being, should be allowed to walk free! This personality type is void of compassion and therefore a DANGER to society and ANY vulnerable being.
Beat this old fucks ass with a baseball bat and watch him die a slow death. He thinks animals are annoying? He is fucking annoying and needs to be killed.
He was ANNOYED? Geez – he should go to prison – won’t have to deal with an “annoying “ cat. Yes, he should go to prison and rot.
THIS DISGUSTING AND ABHORRENT CRUEL ACT MUST BE MET WITH FULL PUNISHMENT OF THE LAW AND THAT THIS MONSTER NEVER!!!! HAS ANY CONTACT WITH ANIMALS EVER AGAIN!!!
HE IS A DANGER TO ALL ANIMALS AND HUMANKIND ALSO MUST HAVE A PSYCHIATRIC EVALUATION AND BE INCARCERATED NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT!!!!
He’s evil,murder,brutally,cruel to poor cats not window,suffering long enough,he need to stay in jail until he rots in cell.im so piss off,sad for beautiful cat into beaten up.jail time.
Horrible
Absolutely No Tolerance Towards Animal ABUSERS n Cruelty. An eye for an eye fits this crime n should be the punishment. Paws Matter
Malaysia has a reputation for being one of the more backward countries in Asia and this confirms it.
Another POS in the world. Total waste of space.
WHAT A HEARTLESS ASS, HE SHOULD HAVE THE SAME DONE TO HIM, A PERSON WHO BEATS AN ANIMAL, IS EVIL AND MADE BY THE DEVIL HIMSELF, AND DOES NOT DESERVE TO LIVE. NO MORALS NO VALUES AND DOES NOT RESPECT LIFE. GET THIS BASTARD AND PUT IN PRISON. BUT, NO, THEY WILL SLAP HIM ON THE HANDS LIKE A MORON HE IS AND LET HIM GO. IT JUST PISSES ME OFF, AND OFF BREED OF SOMETHING OF SOME SLEES BUCKET. I HOPE SOME JUDGE HAS THE BACK BONE TO THROW THE BOOK AT THE BASTARD.
A OLD PRICK, SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO LIVE, A WORTHLESS ASS, WHO DOES NOT CONTRIBUTE TO SOCIETY, I HOPE HIS BODY BURNE IN HELL, FOR WHAT HE DID, HE PROBABLY KILLED NOT ONLY OTHER DEFENSELESS ANIMALS, BUT HUMANS ALSO.
Only a person who cannot control their sick temper making them a monster
Behaves in this cruel manner! it tells you he is not normal. Put him away before he does worse!!!
Well by supposed law we cannot just kill someone no matter what they have done. And- many people could not do it anyway to be fair! This old bastard should know better! He needs finding by an animal Vigilante group, ( good plan would be to chuck him in the back of a van) take the old fucker to a remote place and then beat the bugger shitless. Then just leave the old sod where he lays! Could stamp his legs and arms, and stuff his mouth so the bastard can’t shout for help. Then just leave the sod! If anyone ‘does’ find him well, Ok but if not, you haven’t technically killed him as he was alive when you left— yes?? This is what has to happen to these animal torturing bastards no matter what their age. I’ll bet this fucker has been abusing animals all of his life. Piece of shit needs his miserable life ending by any means ( or any other means) possible. I’m sure there would be be many takers who feel the same as I towards this old bastard. Needs to be helped on his way to forever ‘ bye- byes.

If this old douche did this to my cat, he would be found in the drain…and the drain over there, over there and the one down the street.
Good on you Sister. I really like your way of reasoning! What you say is ‘exactly’ what this old bastard ( who should know better) seriously needs! If you have read my submission you will know that I am 100% with you. As—I hope, there are many others who feel the same towards this ‘cat torturing’ motherfuck. Just hope there are a few Animal Activist groups who can deal with this nasty old bugger accordingly.
