A couple’s ‘Simple’ mission to help stray cats and dogs
Despite facing challenges, ‘Simple Chicken Rice - by Uncle Lim’ in Subang Jaya stays open for business because the neighbourhood strays depend on it.
Yap Siew Hwa, a 70-year-old woman, operates "Simple Chicken Rice – by Uncle Lim" in Subang Jaya, Malaysia. Despite facing health issues, a shop fire, and delays with halal certification, she continues to run the business and feeds stray cats and dogs from the earnings. Her husband, retired military airman Lim Boh Cheng, 72, runs a locksmith business nearby.
Yap's dishes are simple yet delicious, with specialties like chicken rice, wantan mee, and curry mee. She started the restaurant in 2015 after an employee suggested it, and it expanded to a full shop lot. She has been selling chicken rice for over a decade, but her business has faced challenges, including a fire that damaged her premises and delayed halal certification renewal.
Despite these obstacles, Yap remains committed to keeping the shop open and helping the stray animals in her neighborhood.
