Guest guest Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 Monday August 22, 2005 - The Star Nicky thanks her saviour BY LEE YUK PENG MALACCA: Datuk Dr S. H Foo received a warm welcome at the zoo here from Nicky, the tiger cub he saved from the cooking pot. The 58-year-old Malaysian Trade Commissioner to Papua New Guinea said he was happy to meet the tiger cub, which “showered?him with gentle bites as he held it. This is not a bite, it is a kiss from Nicky, said Dr Foo as he wiped off some blood on his right palm. Accompanying Dr Foo during the visit were his wife Tham Foong Ying, 50, and three of his four children Suan Keong, 17, and three-year-old twins Suan Hui and Suan Son. His 20-year-old daughter Suan Mei did not come along. Dr Foo, who is the president of the Foo Clans World Association, also brought along his friends, all of whom had the surname Foo. Maybe Nicky should also have the surname Foo,joked Dr Foo, whose nickname is Tiger Foo. His four children pooled RM1,000 from their savings as a donation to the zoo to help upkeep the three-month-old Nicky. Five of their family friends also donated RM700. I am impressed with the Malacca Zoo and I can see that the staff here have really taken good care of Nicky, said Dr Foo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
