Pets@Monorail 2009 carnival at Tun Sambanthan monorail station

More than 3,000 people thronged KL StarRail’s Pets@Monorail carnival held on Saturday 21st March, 2009 at the stretch of road in front of the Tun Sambanthan monorail station in Brickfields, Kuala Lumpur. KL StarRail is the operator of KL Monorail.

The carnival themed “We Care” was part of KL StarRail’s corporate social responsibility campaign to initiate a caring and loving society. It provided a great opportunity for everyone to get closer within the community and between KL monorail and the public, particularly its commuters.

Everyone had fun checking out the various pet animals, stalls and activities.

The pets @monorail carnival was launched by Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) director-general Datuk Salleh Yusup (third from left) who said that instilling a love for pet animals was an important step for children as they will grow up to care, love and respect for people too. Malaysian astronaut Datuk Dr Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor Sheikh Mustapha (first from right) was also present at the event.
