Pandas should stay on longer


KUALA LUMPUR: There is a chance that Zoo Negara’s star attractions – the two giant pandas – will continue their stay in Malaysia as the country marks its 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations with China this year.

Xing Xing and Liang Liang, who have been on a 10-year loan by China to Malaysia since 2014, are due to be sent home soon, but Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is looking into extending their stay here.
