Datuk Wee Hong Seng
KUCHING (August 1): Kuching South Mayor Dato Wee Hong Seng has appealed to dog owners to vaccinate their pets against rabies as there had been 27 cases of dog bites reported to the council in just one week from July 18.
He also revealed that during that period, Kuching North City Commission (DBKU) and Padawan Municipal Council had reported six and 25 cases respectively.
