KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 3 — He may have retired from the entertainment industry but Taiwanese veteran crooner Fei Yu Ching continues with his effort to help the republic’s furry friends.
ET Today reported that the 66-year-old donated NT$1 million (RM150,084) on Wednesday to Animal Rescue Team Taiwan that will be used to purchase food to feed the republic’s estimated 20,000 strays.
The organisation’s spokesman Ni Jingtai said Fei had been supporting them since 2014 and the total amount he has donated since is a staggering NT$6 million (RM900,266).
Apart from the annual NT1 million donation, Fei also donated an additional NT$800,000 (RM120,035) in 2015 after the successful staging of his Teresa Teng Memorial Concert.
Fei, a known animal lover has himself stopped having a pet after the death of his dog.
