PETALING JAYA – A ginger cat was rescued from the site of the recent Elmina plane crash in Sg Buloh, it has emerged.
Speaking to The Vibes, veterinarian Dr Zul Erwan Azmi said the Health Ministry’s ambulance team informed him that they found “Oyen” at the crash site.
They then transported the cat in the ambulance and administered basic treatment, putting a bandage on the cat’s injury, after which they sent him to Dr Zul for further treatment.
“Maybe Oyen was roaming around in the area. He wasn’t directly impacted (by the crash)...otherwise he wouldn’t have made it.
“Most likely he was hit by debris, or he jumped and sustained the injuries,” Dr Zul said.
He informed that Oyen has a skin tear of about 15cm from the top to the bottom of his ribs.
“He was traumatised and scared. But this morning, he is much more stable and he is eating.”
According to Dr Zul, Oyen appears to be a stray male cat who has yet to be neutered.
The cat continues to be under the care of Dr Zul and his dedicated team at his veterinary clinic in Sg Buloh.
In an Instagram post, Dr Zul Erwan also thanked the health personnel for helping to rescue the cat.
A Beechcraft Model 390 Premier 1 private jet crashed on Thursday in the township of Elmina, claiming the lives of 10 people.
Eight were those on board the aircraft, while two were road users in the vicinity of Persiaran Elmina where the plane plummeted, just minutes away from its scheduled landing at the nearby Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport in Subang. – The Vibes, August 20, 2023
