As we adapt to the new norm, most businesses are beginning to function normally or at the very least hoping to open up soon.
Zoo Taiping and Night Safari, which has been closed since the beginning of the MCO, are also adapting to the new norm in preparations to re-open once the conditional movement control order (CMCO) is lifted. With that they have come up the excellent idea to keep zoo lovers and public engaged with the zoo vibe through a virtual tour programme!
The virtual tour kick started with featuring the Orang Utan on May 23rd where the zoo's park rangers will be bringing you on a tour around the zoo, and at the same time, introducing you to their animal friends. They hope to release at least two videos weekly until MCO is lifted focusing mainly on the endanger species.
The zoo director Dr Kevin Lazarus in a recent interview has said,
“Since the enforcement of MCO on March 18, the zoo had suffered some RM400,000 losses monthly. Of the amount, food for the animals amount the most at RM170,000 monthly”, he added.
On the zoo's preparation to take in visitors once MCO is lifted and would follow all guidelines set by the Health Ministry, he also mentioned.
“We will limit the number of visitors to a maximum of 500 people per hour”, he said.
“We will also take down the visitors body temperature and their contact details”, not that visitors would also be required to wear face masks.
