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]

Beat him with a stick stuff him in an oil drum force him to feel the excruciating pain and fear that poor kitty went through! I pray she pulls through God bless!
Yes! Do the same thing to this sleazy creep!! I’m “annoyed” by him!!
Being attacked wouldn’t warrant this brutal response, much less claiming he was “annoyed”. That man has no redeeming qualities whatsoever & he doesn’t deserve a lesser sentence due to his age. Throw him UNDER the jail.
GOD IS COMING 🙏 IN THE NAME OF KING JESUS CHRIST 🙏
Charge him to the fullest extent of the law in his 70’s or not. I don’t care there is no sense to animal cruelty . Harsher laws must come !
He’s a useless monster so beat it with a stick until death. Won’t be missed. Disgusting foul useless waste of good space!
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU!!!
No words!!
seriously, Malaysia
Kill tis motherfucker. Beat him to death
So he beats a poor helpless cat bc he’s “annoyed”? Holy crap what a mental case
Put this sick, uneducated bastard behind bars for 3 years. Hopefully, he’ll die in prison. Too late to remove him from the gene pool though…
Im glad Manis lived, as for this Shitbag torture him till he DIES!!!
NO animal deserves to be a victim of DEHUMANIZED, DESENSITIZED and MENTALLY-DERANGED SADISTIC PSYCHOPATHS!!
NO animal-abuser should get away with such a horrific crime.
LAWMAKERS, stop these crimes by establishing harsh punishments for animal abuse! It’s your duty as humans.
Tormenting, neglecting and killing animals has a brutalizing effect on our society and mankind as a whole.
This pathological monster must be severely punished. He must also be forbidden from coming near animals ever again.
SET a PRECEDENT, and punish to the full extent of the law!
MAX JAIL or DEATH PENALTY for this scumbag!
Those who are convicted of cruelty should never be allowed to own animals again.
Whoever did this needs to be permanently eliminated. All these sick freaks are taking up space. May you rot in Hell.
I’m so sorry that Manis was subjected to such horrific abuse. The elderly man who harmed him is a sadistic, brute and his behavior is unacceptable. He needs to be severely punished and banned from being around animals. Get well soon Manis and I hope you get justice.
This piece of garbage that abused a poor defenseless cat should get thrown off a cliff!
this is a Very Dangerous Person. Thank you Angels for saving this sweet kitty.
Beat this sadistic bastard with a metal bat and then discard his body in a garbage dump. I don’t care that he is an elderly person, he is a cruel piece of shit that does not deserve to live.
Poor Manis!! So, glad he lived. May he claw this old bas***d’s eyes out!!!
Agree all comments do the same to them. Execute them. Not worth feeding. Laws need to change now.
These 3rd world garbage pits have no regard for animals oe their rights. I say do the same to them. Best the living shit out of them and shove them in a drain pipe. Better yet just pour sulphuric acid into their eyes.
That old asshole needs a good beating himself!!!!I’m sick of people that continue to abuse animals!!!
