GIANT panda Nuan Nuan, born in Zoo Negara in 2015, has become the subject of fake news in China with a report claiming that it was returned to Sichuan because Malaysia could not afford to feed an extra panda. According to Sin Chew Daily, the fake report was circulated on cyberspace and had insinuated that Malaysia was unable to fork out the resources to keep a panda which was picky about its eating habits as it would only feed on young bamboo shoots imported from China.
