Tagging SPCA Selangor, she wrote, "[At] approximately 1pm to 2pm. These barely two-month-old pups [were] brought in. No water in bowls. No cloth/rags on wires. No toy. With CNY holidays coming up. I can imagine these pups being neglected. Took it up with the store man. He gave many lame excuses. Please check."
