ZOO MELAKA TO BE UPGRADED

Melaka Zoo Is In Upgrades To Increase The Tourist Arrival - Management Company


MELAKA, Nov 30 (Bernama) -- The Melaka Zoo and Night Safari is currently being upgraded in order to attract more visitors, said KAJ Group of Hospitality Chief Executive Officer Seow Cheng Swee.

He said besides upgrading the facilities and doing refurbishment work, they were also planning to bring in new animals to woo more visitors to the zoo.

Speaking to Bernama here, he said they had brought in the antelope species known as Waterbuck from South Africa since last September and hoped that the animal will be a new attraction for the visitors.

"This is the first Waterbuck brought into Malaysia, and we are planning to bring in the other species of antelope, known as Kudu, next year," he said.

Meanwhile, Seow said the upgrading works had begun since the company started to manage the zoo in 2013.

However, the process would take a long time because it would be implemented in stages, he said.

"The renovation works will also be focusing on animal cages which are 50 years old and about two to three months are needed to renovate each cage," he added.
