27. THE STORY OF SKIPPY

28. 9 years ago, the co-founder of Langkawi LASSie (Langkawi Animal
Shelter & Sanctuary) met Skippy when having chicken rice at Kuah,
Langkawi.

29. Out of sympathy, she decided to order a plate of chicken for the
skinny kitten with a deformed leg.

30. Unexpectedly, the shop owner yelled: "If you're buying for the cat,
I'm not selling!"

31. Knowing Skippy wouldn't receive much care there, the idea of bringing
her to Langkawi LASSie emerged.

32. With all the love she
needs from Langkawi
LASSie she's now
residing happily at
Bon Ton Resort,
Langkawi, welcoming
guests every day.

33. The mural is painted using environmentally friendly paint that will eventually
wash off in two years.
