马来西亚犬业协会亚洲杯致词 The Malaysian Kennel Association The FCI Asia & Pacific Show Welcome Speech

亲爱的朋友们，马来西亚犬协会很荣幸能在马来西亚吉隆坡举办2018年FCI APAC亚洲杯！这将是马来西亚第一次举办盛大的犬展！我们热烈欢迎来自全球各地的朋友参加此次赛事。这次犬展是马来西亚一年一度最好的宠物博览会PETFIESTA的其中一部分。我们很感谢有机会参与其中，也很高兴能和博览会合作举办举世瞩目的犬展，对于他们给我们活动的支持与不断的合作表示衷心的感谢！

The Malaysian Kennel Association is extremely proud to be hosting the FCI Asia & Pacific Show in 2018 in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia from the 13^th – 15^th April. This is the first time that Malaysia will be hosting this prestigious show and we are excited to welcome everyone from across the globe to this show. Our show is part of Malaysia’s Biggest yearly Pet Expo – PETFIESTA and we are grateful to be working jointly with them since they started and are excited to host the most prestigious Dog Show as part of their event. Their support of our activities and continued collaboration is greatly appreciated!

2018年亚洲杯将在4月13-15日举行，同时还有另外五场赛事。我们的周末会很精彩，有三场CACIB，两场APAC CAC展和东南亚CAC犬展，一共六场赛事。

The main Asian Section Show takes place on the 14^th of April and together with the 5 other support shows held in conjunction with this show over the 3 days. We are excited about a fun filled weekend with a total of 3 CACIB shows, 2 APAC CAC shows and a South East Asia CAC shows which are being held with CAC’s on offer at all shows and CACIBS at the 3 FCI shows inclusive of Asian Winners and Malaysian Winners titles on offer.

这将是个令人振奋的周末，在此期间会有多个瞩目的头衔落定下来，也有来自全球各地的著名审查们。由衷的感谢所有审查们，你们的专业能力和热情参与对此次赛事尤为重要，贡献极大。

Truly an exciting weekend of shows for this region, with many prestigious titles on offer with a stellar panel of well-known judges from across the globe. Our special thanks to all the judges for taking the time to accept our invitation and be a part of our shows. Your expertise and presence is greatly valued and is a major contribution to this show.

马来西亚犬协会很荣幸邀请了三百多只犬只参加此次赛事。其中113只来自其他国家。很遗憾刚在我们报名参与通道结束后，泰国地区由于狂犬病检疫问题影响了35只外国犬参与此展，也对我们的检疫赛事有所影响，也使很多已经报名的热情的参与者失望，马来西亚犬协会也三次呼吁政府试图给这些犬只参与机会。如果他们通过捡疫测试也符合其他要求就允许参加。随着时间推移，我们将在明天举办终极会议，这次会议将决定泰国犬只能否参与这次犬展。如果这些犬只和主人不能来马来西亚我们也会感到深深的抱歉。因为泰国代表团是我们比赛的很大的组成部分，他们一直给予马来西亚犬协会莫大支持。然而我们也理解和欣赏政府对于继续保持马来西亚检疫安全，对保护我们当地动物福利所做努力。

The MKA was very honoured to get an entry of over 300 dogs with 113 coming from across the globe. Sadly just after our entries closed we were informed that the Malaysian Quarantine Services had closed their borders to all dogs and cats from Thailand due to the current rabies outbreak there. That affects 35 of the foreign dogs coming for the show and will impact us and disappoint a lot of keen participants who have already confirmed their entries. The MKA has put in three appeals to the government to try and allow these dogs entry, if they have a Rabies Titre Test and comply with other requirements. At time of going to press we have a final meeting tomorrow morning, which will determine if the Thai dogs are allowed to participate or not. We will be majorly disappointed if these dogs and owners are not allowed to come to Malaysia, as the Thai contingent always forms the major bulk of our overseas participants and they have always been great supporters of the MKA. However we do understand and appreciate the government’s efforts to continue to keep Malaysia’s Rabies Free status and to protect the welfare of our local animals.

关于这一点我想就个人对MAQIS  Dato’主任Mokhtarrudin博士和他部门全体人员的全力支持和帮助表示谢意！也对兽医站服务部门对犬类问题的帮助表示谢意！

On that note I do want to say a personal thank you to the Director General of MAQIS Dato’ Dr. Mokhtarrudin and his department members for their full support and assistance with our shows and also to the Department of Veterinary Services for their kind assistance in all veterinary matters.

Last but not least, we are grateful to our MKA members for their belief in us to run this show for the very first time and their entries have reflected this spirit, as this is by far the largest local entry we have seen in recent time. The MKA staff have also worked tirelessly to ensure everything is in order and the support from my Board of Directors has helped contribute to making this event a success!
