PANDA craze has gripped Hong Kong once again as residents compete to name the territory’s first locally-born giant panda cubs who just turned six months old.

The competition to name the twin cubs, born on Aug 15 last year, launched yesterday following a celebratory ceremony attended by Hong Kong leader John Lee and other officials at Ocean Park, the theme park that houses the twins, their parents and two other giant pandas that arrived from mainland China last year.Residents can submit their suggestions via the park’s website.
