Reuters KAJANG - Volunteers at a animal shelter in one of areas worst-hit by floods in Malaysia staged an eleventh-hour rescue of 120 cats and dogs in lorries as waters rose around its premises.

More than 60,000 people have been displaced and at least 17 killed in floods across eight states in Malaysia, following torrential rainfall that began last Friday .

They soon learned that authorities would open floodgates at a nearby dam and quickly rented lorries to move the shelter's 10 dogs and 100 cats to safety, she said, adding that the cameras had proved vital. The 42-year-old, who also runs a pet transportation service, said they now face the task of providing for the animals having lost a lot of their provisions.
