National Zoo of Malaysia-Zoo Negara

http://www.thesundaily.my/news/590864

The National Zoo is located in Ulu Kelang next to Taman Melawati in

Selangor.The owner of the zoo is not the government but an NGO, the

National Zoological Society if I'm not wrong.

There were plans to relocate the zoo to Janda Baik because the Zoo

is sitting on prime residential land in the Klang Valley but what the greedy

politically connected buggers eyeing the land forget is that the land is also

prone to landslides and has seen a number of disasters to houses in the

vicinity.

Not only that but the massive relocation exercise and reconstruction would

have cost a bomb, which may be profit and commissions for the robber

barons eyeing the massive contracts in the exercise but will  put both the

country as well as the zoo in financial hardship for decades.

Problems faced by the Zoo includes the land area being comparitively small

and therefore inadquate for animals requiring large areas to roam,rendering

the zoo being unable to house animals requiring huge enclosures.

Smaller zoos in Malaysia have recently been closed because many wild animals

have been housed in spaces too inadequate.

In recent developments, for some reason, the 2 Pandas rented from China are going

to be housed in this Zoo.
