Steep drop in number of Zoo Negara visitors

KUALA LUMPUR: While the animals at Zoo Negara are holding up, thanks to their keepers’ care, the number of visitors is plunging during the hot season.

Malaysian Zoological Society’s Giant Panda Conservation Centre and veterinary services director Dr Mat Naim Ramli said there was a noticeable drop in the number of visitors, especially as the March school holidays are a popular time for families to visit the zoo.
