beware of rabies!

as some of our vista residents may have already know abt the rabies outbreak, or in layman term mad dog disease, which has caused a big concern in the Northern Malaysia, as so far already some confirmed cases in Penang, Perlis & Kedah.

well, as the state gov't decided to get rid of the stray dogs by killing them, and protested by some animal loving NGO, we will leave it to them to argue abt should (or should not) killing the stray dogs in Penang (abt 2.5K of them!), but some suggestion we will like to present to our residents.

do kindly alert the office or guard on duty if you see any stray dogs hanging around in Vista Condo or the road outside our compound, office number is 019-5730637 & guard house number is 017-4290637, also can contact MPPP at 04-2637000, pls don't try to chase the dogs away by yourselves unnecessarily, but rather pls keep yourselves away from them, especially the children, pls do advice your kids on this too.

(in fact this virus can be passed through cats too, so the same suggestion also applied for the stray cats)

for residents who are keeping dogs & cats in their unit, pls do see your VET for advice, heard that rabies vaccine will be (or perhaps is ready) made available in Penang, so for sake of your own safety, do kindly visit the VET for this.

rabies can be deadly if not treated immediately, let's do our bit to prevent it.

thanks.
