OVER the past eight years, Azizah Ibrahim spent almost RM3,000 buying 40 pairs of clothes for ‘Suraya’, her pet cat, Harian Metro reported.
The 50-year-old said she would become excited every time she saw cat costumes even though they could be pricey.
According to Azizah, cat clothes could be quite expensive and some cost RM100 a piece.
“Once I am attracted to the design, I will make sure that I purchase it,” she said.
Azizah added that Suraya also participated in many fashion shows for felines over the past few years.
“All of her clothes were bought from tailors around Kuala Lumpur. Then, I add ornaments to them such as beads, flowers and ribbons to make them look more beautiful,” she said.
According to Azizah, she bought a lot of cat clothes during festive seasons such as Hari Raya Aidilfitri and Chinese New Year.
“For Aidilfitri, I buy baju kurung and for the Chinese New Year celebration, I buy cheongsam.
“I managed to buy three pairs of baju kurung for Suraya during Aidilfitri last year,” she added.
> Used golf balls seller Jaafar Leman can now breathe a sigh of relief as the National Security Council has announced that golf activities will be allowed to resume operations, Utusan Malaysia reported.
The 66-year-old relies on the resale of used golf balls to earn a living and his income has been badly affected since the start of the pandemic due to imposed restrictions.
He said many golfers started visiting his stall in Ayer Keroh to buy used balls since last week.
“Thank God I have once again been able to earn a living. Every day, there are golfers who stop by to buy the balls.
“For two painful months, I lost my source of income when people could not play golf because clubs were not allowed to operate.
“I hope the golf clubs will not be closed again after this. If they close, it will be hard for me to make a living at this age,” he said.
