PETALING JAYA: Yi Yi and Sheng Yi, the two panda cubs born in Malaysia, will be returned to China together after August, says Zoo Negara deputy president Rosly@Rahmat Ahmat Lana.

He said the agreement between Malaysia and China – which loaned a pair of pandas to Zoo Negara – states that any cubs born must be returned to China once they reach two years old.
