Official Announcement by Noah's Ark Natural Animal Shelter (NANAS) Singapore

16 August 2016

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT

We are pleased to announce that our new entity, Noah’s Ark Natural Animal Shelter (NANAS) in Singapore has been approved by the Registry of Societies on 27 July 2016.

A new committee with a brand new team has been formed, headed by Mr Raymund Wee, Original Founder of Noah’s Ark in 1995 as President to continue its mission to help animals in need both in Singapore and Malaysia.

Raymund Wee says, “Animal suffering knows no national boundaries.  We will not let politics or borders stop our compassion.”

Since our announcement at the beginning of July about our split with NA CARES in Singapore and subsequently losing our funding for sanctuary operations, we have been inundated with offers of help from all quarters.

•   We wish to thank our loyal supporters and donors from Singapore and Malaysia for their continuous support and generous donations during this difficult time. 

•   We are very grateful to our volunteers and friends who stepped up efforts to help raise funds to ensure that we give the same standard and quality of care to the more than 1,000 animals living at the sanctuary. 

•   All our sanctuary tours have been over-subscribed with people eager to help in any way possible. 

•   Help came from as far as Australia in the form of financial assistance to help feed our horses and ponies.  We wish to thank Janet Thomas and her team from Animal Aid Abroad Inc. 

•   From Singapore, Pets Station organised a food drive for our dogs and cats.  For every purchase of dog or cat food, Pets Station matched it on a one-for-one basis.

•   We Heart Stray TNRM Group staged the first ever public fund raising event in Johor, Malaysia in aid of NANAS.

We are truly and deeply humbled by this outpouring of support from the public as more and more people come on board to help us help the animals.

Official Announcement of Noah's Ark Natural Animal Shelter

6 July 2016

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT

Noah’s Ark Natural Animal Shelter (NANAS) in Malaysia is no longer affiliated with Noah’s Ark CARES (NA CARES) in Singapore with immediate effect.

In 1995, Noah’s Ark Lodge Private Animal Shelter was set up in Jalan Kayu in Singapore by Raymund Wee to give animals that have been abused, abandoned and made homeless a second chance to live out the rest of their lives with dignity and love.

When the lease ended in June 2000, the sanctuary, including all its inhabitants, was moved to Johor, Malaysia and Noah’s Ark Natural Animal Shelter (NANAS) was established on a 10-acre site near Gelang Patah.  The sanctuary is now home to 700 dogs, 300 cats, 9 horses and other animals that have been rescued.

Noah’s Ark CARES was registered in 2005 to be the Singapore arm of NANAS and in addition to its activities in Singapore was also responsible for raising funds for shelter operations in Malaysia. 

NANAS has since been informed by NA CARES that the Singapore operation can no longer fund NANAS’s activities in Malaysia.  

This is because NA CARES was granted charity status on 9 May 2016 and had to abide by the rules and regulations imposed by the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth. 

In essence, the operations and funding for both entities have to be separated.  

Due to this unfortunate turn of events, NANAS will now have to stand on its own and conduct its own fundraising activities in Singapore.  

As the sanctuary is no longer represented in Singapore, Raymund Wee, Founder of Noah’s Ark and his new team are in the process of setting up a new entity in Singapore. 

Top priority is the welfare of the animals.  Funds are much needed for daily shelter operations which includes food for the animals, salary for workers, rental, diesel for generating electricity and all other expenses incurred in running the shelter.

Total cost is S$35,000 per month of which a large portion goes towards food.

If you wish to contribute, here are the details:
