Owner and buffalo Awang to part after five years


AFTER five years of caring for a 650kg buffalo named Awang, owner Muhammad Faris Aiman in Kuantan is selling it for RM12,000, Harian Metro reported.

He explained that he was doing so not because of financial problems but that he had come to realise it was time to let go.

“I have had offers in the past but I wasn’t ready to sell it then,” said Muhammad Faris, 25.

He said Awang was gifted to him by his father when the buffalo was just one year old.

The buyer, he said, wanted to donate Awang to a madrasah for a sacrificial ritual.

For Hari Raya Haji this year, he said he had sold 300 cows so far.

Mila, who is also a jujitsu ­trainee, said she was fortunate to have had the chance to learn from her parents.
