Netizens were enraged by a CCTV footage showing a postman pulling out a “lastik” or a rubber band slingshot, on a poor pupper at a residence belonging to a Mr Sivam from Kluang, Johor. The footage which was originally shared on social media by local animal welfare NGO Malaysia Independent Animal Rescue (MIAR) placed the postman at the scene on 22 February. Mr Sivam had apparently reached MIAR for assistance after his dog was injured. In the 21-second clip, the red uniformed postman on a motorcycle was seen lining up his shot at the dog that came to approach him from the other side of the gated property. With his right arm fully stretched to pull back his “weapon”, the man then fired at the animal before it quickly scurried away in pain.
