“To prevent speculations, there will be more engagements with the public. A public relations officer from the Park will be appointed soon to engage the public on the status of the zoo. This includes animal received or born in the zoo, animal that dies, (of what disease), special exhibits of animals etc so the public can be aware the status of the zoo and not circulate information that may not include the latest status.
