MIRI: More than 50 endangered or exotic animals have been seized from seven pet shops here during raids by the Sarawak Forestry Corporation (SFC).

The premises were a front for the illegal wildlife trade. The seized animals included long-tailed macaques, hill mynah, rare parrots and exotic Indian star tortoises.

The raids followed complaints from the local community and expatriates that many pet shops in Miri were selling animals in cruel, cramped conditions.

“Acting on the information, we inspected and raided seven pet shops in Miri from July 15 to 18 and seized the animals,” SFC chief executive officer Zolkipli Mohamad Aton told a press conference yesterday.

“They can be fined between RM10,000 and RM50,000 and jailed between one and five years.”

It is learnt that among those who frequently buy these animals are foreigners, who smuggle them to a neighbouring country, where they fetch a high price and are considered prized trophies by the rich.

Members of the public who have information about wildlife abuse are urged to call the SFC hotlines immediately.

Kuching SFC hotlines are 019-885 9996; Sibu 019-819 0140; Bintulu 019-822 3449; Miri 019-822 4566 and 019-829 0994.

“Don’t lose yourself,” the old, bedridden man said. I was five at the time, and my family was visiting my sick uncle. I couldn’t remember his name or how we knew him. But two decades later, his words haunted me as I struggled to come to terms with my life. For years, I had suffered from depression. The first incident I can remember happened when I was 14. As I walked home one day, I was overcome with the urge to sit in a corner and weep. I barely managed to reach our flat before bursting into tears. These overwhelming, unexplained feelings frightened me.

By the time I was 16, these outbursts were happening about once a month. Most of the time I lived my life normally, but then my mind seemed to take on a life of its own. Initially they happened for no reason, but now everything became a reason – a frown from a teacher, first prize for an essay, a long queue at a canteen stall. It didn’t matter whether the incidents were happy, sad or indifferent, all would be twisted by my mind into something horrible.

One incident I recall vividly was a call from a friend. After we chatted for a while, she said she had to go because her mum was calling her. I spent the next two days agonizing over whether she had hung up because she hated me. A little voice in my mind kept telling me how worthless, hopeless and stupid I was. I kept this a secret because I was scared and perplexed. I remember once trying to explain to my friend Alice what was happening to me, but I couldn’t find the right words to express myself and eventually gave up.

Not that my friends were completely unaware of my problems. More than once they tried to talk to me about my difficult home life. My father subjected my two younger sisters and me to terrible verbal abuse and my mother did little to support us. I now realise that my family problems were a major factor in my depression, but at the time I denied anything was wrong.

When I was 17, I concluded that the only way to stop my suffering was simply not to feel anything. This wasn’t difficult because I was overwhelmed with my studies, two part-time jobs and looking after my sisters. I had no time to think, much less feel. At first, the numbness was a huge relief from the mood swings, but it wasn’t long before I realised that there was a vast emptiness in my heart. I could feel no emotions. It got to a point where I would cut myself just to feel something.

I had become afraid of being myself. I felt as if I was being chased by a black hole that would swallow me whole. Finally, when I was 25, I decided that I had to end my life. Fortunately, I never got the chance. That night, I bumped into my 16-

year-old sister Isabella outside my room. Her eyes were swollen, and she was sobbing. “I don’t know why. I can’t make the crying go away,” she said. I was horrified. I knew that depression could be hereditary. This incident jolted me to my senses. The desire to help Isabella prompted me to help myself.

I called my best friend, Kathy. I told her everything and, on her insistence, I visited a Family Service Centre and arranged to start counselling. I also joined a support group and started reading self-help books. More importantly, I made a decision to get out of depression. I forced myself to make new friends. I also convinced Isabella to start counselling and made her come out with my friends and me instead of being cooped up at home. Today, two years later, she is much better. She is taking a pre-university course and has a circle of supportive friends.

Depression is neither a choice nor a bad mood you can snap out of. It is an illness with an underlying cause. But no matter how much other people try to help, only the victims can help themselves get better. My depressive bouts haven’t disappeared, but they are less frequent and less intense. It has not been easy to share my feelings, but it’s getting easier all the time. And the best part is, I have been able to help Isabella. I did lose myself, but I managed to find myself again.

The Living PhotographJackie Kay

My small grandmother is tall there,straight back, white broderie anglaise shirt,pleated skirt, flat shoes, grey bun,a kind, old smile round her eyes.Her big hand holds mine,white hand in black hand.Her sharp blue eyes look her own death in the eye.

It was true after all, that look.My tall grandmother became small.Her back round and hunched.Her soup forgot to boil.She went to the awful place grandmothers go.Somewhere unknown, unthinkable.

But there she is still,in the photo with me at three,the crinkled smile is still living, breathing.
