We’re excited to bring you more ghost stories this month! We’ve got some new faces sharing their own spooky tales, and our beloved MMG is back to share a chilling story about a hantu raya in Gentut. This month’s stories include a nail on the wall with rusty water leaking out, a Gentut man in crying, and a ghostly cat.

This week, we had the pleasure of inviting Jady, the founder of Rescued by Love, to share her insights on rescuing stray cats and dogs. She emphasized the significance of taking small steps to help control the stray dog and cat population. Her sharing was both informative and inspiring, encouraging us to take action rather than simply looking away when we encounter these vulnerable animals.
