"They are my children... I have a hard time saying no... You watch them grow up from puppies, you've taken care of them... They saved me..." Yeeks! Exactly what Mak Intan says. This lady also keeps her animals in a junkyard, just like Pak Mie and Mak Intan. Oh, you didn't see the junkyard in Malaysiakini and Hisyam's video. TV always only shows you the nice part.

Filth and faeces everywhere. This is what it means to be a hoarder - taking on more than you can decently care for, and then taking on some more.
Below is a junk hoarder. Rubbish or junk hoarders keep so much useless stuff until their houses are filled to the ceiling with junk, until they cannot open the door, until they have no space left to bathe or cook, until they have no place left to sleep.
Pak Mie and Mak Intan were never homeless, you know. They still aren't. They have a house but were forced to move out. They still have the house. (More on that another day.) Even at the present place, they didn't always sleep in the car. They had a proper living space (as proper as a squatter shack can be). But they amassed so many animals that the animals soon took over every inch of living space, then they built another enclosure and moved there, then that filled up and they built another one (the present main area), then that too filled up until they had no more place to sleep, then they slept in the car. It's not compassion, it's addiction.
Hoarder Richard Wallace above eats and sleeps in his chair, as every inch of space in his house has been filled up with junk. Read his story at DailyMail.
