Plan for five-star pet hotel in Malaysia

KUALA LUMPUR (DPA): Wealthy pet owners in Malaysia will soon
be able to go on their holidays with peace of mind, as a five-
star hotel for animals is in the offing soon.

University Putra Malaysia is looking for a private sector
partner to invest in the six million ringgit (US$2.4 million)
project.

UPM veterinary medicine faculty dean, Professor Sheikh Omar
Abdul Rahman, said yesterday, "We are looking for a partner who
will invest in half (three million ringgit) of the project."

Sheikh Omar said the hotel proposed daily charges of 50
ringgit, including three meals for normal accommodation. "There
will also be luxurious accommodations with hill views. We will
also set up an aquarium for the pets."

"It will be able to cater to a few hundred pets such as dogs,
cats, birds, and even horses," he said, adding that it will be
the first of its kind in Malaysia.
