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.

you wish to contribute, here are the details:
