PETALING JAYA: The jury is out on the name for the baby panda, and Malaysians have been invited to pitch their ideas through a national contest which starts soon.

“Of course, we do not want to name it Ahmad, Ah Beng or Phua Chu Kang,” quipped Natural Resources and Environment Minister Datuk Seri Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar, adding that the name must take into consideration any China sensitivities.
