Malaysia is a mixing pot of multiple culture, ethnicity, and religion. The man in the image is a believer of Hinduism (a majority Hinduism believers in Malaysia are Indian descendants), they would feed the animals as part of their rituals. They believe it brings them good karma and also the goodwill of the deities they choose to follow (there are lots of deities in Hinduism, many of them have animals features). This man was praying at the small shrine (out of frame on the right side of the pic) before I captured this scene. You can still see some incense sticks burning in the small altar behind the man and also the white markings on his forehead.
