INCOME AND EXPENDITURE

We continued to control our expenditure and triedhard to create activities within the year 2005. Iam delighted to report that by the end of theyear; again we showed a better operating surplusof RM 278,000.00 as compared to RM 54,000.00in 2004.

I would like to acknowledge the Public Affairsand Marketing Department for the hard work toachieve the record high donations from the publicof close to RM 600,000.00.

DEVELOPMENT

Two development projects which comprised 80%of the development expenditure and thereforejustified to be highlighted are: - (1) Refurbishmentof Akuarium Tunku Abdul Rahman (RM2,300,000.00) (2) Earthwork and InstallationInterlocking Pavers at the Picnic Area oppositethe Marrybrown Family Restaurant (RM 189,759.00).

The refurbishment of the Akuarium Tunku AbdulRahman took off in two parts. The first partinvolved in the evaluation of the existing physicalstructure and its usability. The secondcomponent was the real refurbishment of theaquarium.

The Akuarium Tunku Abdul Rahman was targetedto open early in 2006; however it took a longerperiod of time to solve the leaking problems withsome tanks, the target for the opening was movedto middle of 2006.

Another development project that needs to behighlighted was the 12,000 sq ft area designedwith monier. This new facility can accommodatecomfortably up to 4000 people suitable for familyday, birthday and other social functions. In factamong those numerous functions which werecarried out last year at the Wakaf area, onethat deserved to be mention was the weddingof Encik Mohd. Sham Semawi and his bride fromKluang, Johore. This was the first weddingceremony carried out at Zoo Negara Malaysia.

EVENTS

TV3 Goes Green with Zoo Negara on April 24th

I would like to express my appreciation to a localbroadcasting company in the country, SistemTelevisyen Malaysia Berhad (TV3), which hadgiven us the fullest support in 2005. With theEarth Day Celebration in April, TV3 and ZooNegara had agreed to an MOU giving us theopportunity to promote various activities on theirnetwork.

3Annual Report ~ 2005

CHAIRMAN’S REPORT


Zoo Negara’s Earth Day Celebration themed ‘TV3Goes Green with Zoo Negara’ marked the beginningof a fruitful one-year relationship promoting manyother meaningful events such as EnvironmentalDay and TV3’s Sure Heboh Carnival.

The Earth Day Celebration was a notable successwith activities such as tree planting by TV3personalities and staff; and an awarenesscampaign on Endangered Malaysian Wildlife.

Malay Mail Big Walk – Save the Milky Stork Fundfrom May - SeptNews Straits Times Press – The Malay Mail, hadchosen us as the theme for their annual Big Walkin 2005. Zoo Negara, notable for many breedingsuccesses would need as much support as wecan get from various organizations to aid usfurther in Wildlife Conservation.

The Malay Mail chose our successful breedingprogramme on Milky Storks as their annual themeto gather funds to build a bigger nesting aviaryfor the birds. The Malay Mail Big Walk would gatherRM 1 from each registered participants. Thepromotion on the ‘Save the Milky Stork Fund’lasted for over 5 months and ended with asuccessful walk in September 2005. Besidesgaining funds, the five-month promotion in thelocal paper had created the much neededawareness on these birds.

Universal Children’s Day Celebration on Nov. 20th

Zoo Negara celebrated Universal Children’s Daywith the support from the United NationsAssociation of Malaysia, over 10 NGO’s and threemain local broadcasting networks – TV3, NTV7and fly.fm radio.

Friends of the zoo – Petrosains, MenaraKL, SPCA,WWF Malaysia, Malaysian Nature Society andmany others had also come together to providea unique blend of activities for children andteenagers.

Local conservationist and performer, Zainalabidinand friends had also spent their time on thismeaningful day entertaining children with theirpopular renditions. The Universal Children’s Dayon 20 November 2005 was officiated by the Vice-President of UN Association of Malaysia, YangBerbahagia Tan Sri Razali Ismail.

FUTURE PLANS

The Society submitted a development plan tothe Federal Government through PERHILITAN forfunding consideration under the 9th Malaysia Plan.We await the positive outcome in 2006 andlooking forward to start our developmentprojects. These projects are designed to bringZoo Negara closer to the world class zoo whichis targeted to be achieved in 2015.

Steps to gain ISO 9001/2002 certification forthe Zoo have started. It is our dream that withthis certification, Zoo Negara Malaysia will fulfillcustomer requirements and enhance customersatisfaction whilst achieving continualimprovement in the pursuit of excellence inmanaging the National Zoo.

I would like to thank the members of the Councilfor their advice and directives throughout 2005,members of the Society for their loyal supportand the Zoo Staff for their hard work and loyalty.


I took upoffice on 2nd

January 2005as theDirector ofZoo NegaraM a l a y s i a .T h eappointmentwas madeamidst ther a t h e runfavourabler e p o r t sregarding Zoo Negara in the local newspapers.

These negative advertisements and publicitycaused a significant drop of 50% of the muchneeded corporate sector support. On thecontrary, the public continued to bring theirfamilies to visit Zoo Negara, ignoring the negativepublicity. As a result, there was a significantincrease in the number of visitors to the Zoorecorded in 2004 compared to the previous year.

The heightened interests and overwhelmingresponse from the public could be due to theseadverse reports by the press. However, to date,it is both heartening and encouraging to havethe total support of the local press and media inZoo Negara’s management targets to acceleratethe expansion of facilities and activities to benefitthe public.

It was essential that in 2005, we strived to focuson our strengths and forged forward. TheAquarium Committee continued its concertedefforts to refurbish the Aquarium Tunku AbdulRahman. Zoo Negara’s target by the first quarterof 2006 was to complete and ensure a fullyoperating Aquarium. At the end of 2005, theprogress of refurbishment was on schedule. Itwill be the first and the largest ecosystem-basedaquarium consisting of Malaysian flora and fauna.

At Zoo Negara, innovative activities or eventsmust constantly be created, developed anddirected towards diverse market segments.

Where possible, these targeted market sectorsshould be reachable with minimal costs. For this,we are grateful to Yang Berbahagia Dato’ FaridRidzuan, the Chief Executive Officer of TV3 whoagreed to initiate the collaboration and promotionof Zoo Negara by (i) ensuring consistent andsustained media exposure, (ii) the organizationand promotion of relevant activities or eventsheld at Zoo Negara, (iii) the procurement ofsponsorships for the activities at Zoo Negara,and (iv) development, creation andimplementation of ideas. We are looking at a goodyear ahead!

The 2005 exciting activities and entertainingevents are reported in the Public Affairs &Marketing Department Report. Followingsuccesses of these activities and events, ourloyal, regular and new sponsors came forwardand spurred donations of about RM600, 000.00.We are appreciative of these contributions anddonations to reach this phenomenal amount. Andwe wish to say to all the sponsors Terima Kasih.

Also, for the record, on 4th June 2005 as thenation celebrated the Agong’s Birthday, thecountry witnessed Zoo Negara’s first Night AnimalShow and also the first for Malaysia. The mainattraction was the nocturnal animals such asthe Otter, Raccoon, Owls and Snakes and thisstirred much curiosity from the public to furthervisit Zoo Negara. Needless to say, the coolerambience at night also offered the much neededalternative relaxing time for the city folks and

their families.

DIRECTOR’S REPORT


In 2005, Zoo Negara was honored to receivemany local and international guests from variousZoos and Theme Parks. From Singapore, we hadthe pleasure to welcome Ms. Fanny Lai, ExecutiveDirector of Singapore Zoo, Dr Ho Yew Kee,Executive Director of Singapore Wildlife Reservesand Singapore Zoo Staff namely, Barry ChongPeng Wee, Kumar Pillai, Alagappasamy Chellaiyah,Ahmad Surasa Adi Omar and Dr Chris Furley, theChief Veterinarian, further discussed andexchanged views with our Zoo Hospital staffs.

We were delighted to receive official internationalvisitors like Mr. Vladimir Frolov, Deputy Directorof Moscow Zoo and his two Staff, SergeyKudryavtsev and Sergei Mamet. Also, on officialvisits were the Staff from Saigon Zoo – Vietnam;Chiang Mai Night Safari – Thailand; Adelaide Zoo– Australia. The discussions encompassed plansto exchange experiences of mutual benefit, fosterbetter relationship and linkages in the future.

The new facilities of direct benefit to the public,developed in 2005, was the picnic area (wakafarea) which promoted and further enhancedinteractive and dynamic events in the Zoo forFamily Day, birthdays and other social functions.About 12,000 sq ft area was designed with moniertiles and can accommodate comfortably up to4000 people. The photo corner, launched on 20th

August 2005, became a favourite hot spot andmust-visit location for visitors to record theirmemorable moments with our wildlife.

Zoo Negara has worked very hard on the captivebreeding programs of several species, particularlythose that are endemic to Malaysia and the region.Of particular importance are the efforts to protectand breed the Milky Stork (Mycteria cineria).Reports have indicated that there are only aboutsix Milky Storks left in the wild of Malaysia, whiledeclining numbers remain sighted in countries likeIndonesia, Cambodia and Vietnam. Currently, ZooNegara has bred in captivity over 120 Milky Storkchicks. Following this success, we haveconducted the release program of the Milky Storkin Kuala Selangor, in collaboration with PERHILITANand the Malaysian Nature Society.

We are now planning on the second debut in thesame area. Further, this year with the cooperationfrom the Malay Mail Big Walk 2005 themed “BEAWARE, GET INVOLVED AND MAKE ADIFFERENCE!” Zoo Negara has launched theMilky Stork Fund to help us in setting up a newbreeding aviary, tracking equipments and relatedfacilities.

In addition, Zoo Negara is the first organizationin Malaysia to successfully run a captive breedingprogram for the False Gharial (Tomistomaschlegelii). This shy species of freshwatercrocodile numbers fewer than 2,500 heads inthe wild in Malaysia, Indonesia and other partsof Borneo. Reports indicated that, in Thailandthe population is now believed to be extinct. Weare excited with the opportunity to map therelease program.

New animal arrivals and births have always beena crowd puller. Vibrant baby pictures of 2005 inthe following pages are the testimony of someof the successes of captive breeding programat Zoo Negara in 2005. Apart from theseattractive, fresh faces of 2005, Zoo Negara alsohas an ongoing animal exchange program withSingapore Zoological Gardens.

The new arrivals in 2005 were the Agile Wallabies,Capybaras, Nyalas, Hyaenas, Gir Lion andMeerkats. They have undergone the mandatoryquarantine measures and are now in theirrespective habitat surroundings. We reciprocatedby sending Charlie, our lovable Orangutan, toSingapore Zoological Gardens.

The Development and Planning Committee (DPC) continued with its policy of improvement withinthe Zoo during 2005.

FINANCE &ADMINISTRATION

The annual income for Zoo Negara normallycomes from the gate collection, rentals,sponsorships, interest on fixed deposits,subscription and miscellaneous income.

This year’s gate collections of about RM6.2 millioncontinued to be our main source of income andcontributed 80.4% of our total income of RM7.7million.

Rental income from car park and F&B operatorsshowed an increase from RM512, 600 last yearto RM680, 400. The most significant increase inincome came from Sponsorships RM191, 025 in2004 to RM557, 488 this year.

Our operating expenditure was about RM7.5million which represents an increase about 1.9%from last year (RM7.3 million); with salariesmaking up 30% of costs and animal food andmaintenance contributing 23.5%. On operatinglevel, we registered a net operating profit ofover RM278, 000 by the year end. Refurbishmentof Tunku Abdul Rahman Aquarium was initiatedearly in the year and expected to cost aboutRM2.3 million.

The year under review was not going as smoothwith regard to the staff Common Agreement (CA)which expired on 31st December 2004. Becauseof very high demand and some items are notnegotiable, the Management proposed to adoptthe old CA for another three years which willend on 31st December 2007.

The staff however, did not agree to the proposalafter six meetings. At the time of the writingthis report, the CA deadlock will be brought tothe Industrial Court for judgment.

During the year, the department negotiated anMOU with a local broadcasting network – SistemTelevisyen Malaysia Berhad(TV3). Similar agreementswere held with O’BonInternational, a companythat manufactures pencilsfrom recycled paper and withWall’s Ice Cream a Divisionof Unilever Sdn. Bhd.

The department received more that fifty requestsduring the year for filming, interviews and photoshoots from production houses, advertisingagencies and from foreign and local media. Theseactivities have aided the zoo in promotionsthroughout the year. Such request including theNational Geographic filming on ReticulatedPythons and the Leo Burnett Advertising Agencyfor a photo shoot on tigers.

Another year of exciting new activities has come and gone for the Education Department. 2005 sawthe development of our skills and department resources. We also moved our office to the previousadministration building and sharing the first floor with the Zoology Department, Development &Maintenance Department and the ISO office. The library is still in the process of being upgraded to aresource centre. We received a tourism student from Kolej Hulu Langat, Noremilya, who carried outher practical training for a period of 5 months. The department’s clerk, Mrs. Victoria Sundaraj,resigned at the end of the year and we wish her all the best.


EDUCATION

Education Services

Educational services were provided to a total of266 schools/groups during the year (12,806individuals). This accounts to a slight increaseof 43 groups. However, the total of individualsdropped by 14%. As in previous years we havefound that most groups visited between July andSeptember.

The highest number of individuals was 2,381 inJuly, followed by 2,270 in September. Augustwhich usually sees a high number experienced adrop because of cancellations due to the haze.Services provided were guided tours on the roadtrains, talks, animal contact sessions, worksheetsand handouts.(The figures above do not include;i) schools/groups

that chose to visit the Zoo without calling upon the

services of the Education Dept.,ii) Tours provided to

dignitaries, VIPs and visiting guests from other

zoological organizations and iii) Adult chaperones

accompanying children in groups)

Education based event organizers continued touse our services in 2005. The department’sdetailed requirements towards theseorganizations’ visits to the zoo prevented a lotof the problems encountered in the past.

As the current Education Department move intoour fifth year of service, we are beginning to seethe same schools and groups coming back tothe department for assistance to enhance theireducational experience.

These include several international schools,kindergarten franchises, private schools and anumber of Government secondary schools. Otherrepeat visitors are the Vocational TrainingOpportunity Centre of YWCA and the SelangorTourist Guide Association (SGTA). Both havecome back for their 3rd and 5th consecutiveyears, respectively.

The Department was also contacted by theEducation Ministry’s Division in Selangor for the2nd consecutive year to provide guided toursfor the national level programme called“Perkhemahan Alam Semulajadi Sekolah-sekolahRendah Peringkat Kebangsaan 2005” in July.Worksheets provided the year before were givento the students as part of a booklet (primaryschool level).

Department Milestone

One major project which started early in the yearwas a collaboration between Zoo Negara andHitachi International for their 7th Hitachi YoungLeaders Initiative which was held in Kuala Lumpurfrom 11th – 15th July. Themed “Balancing People,Planet & Profit in Asia’s Future”, the initiativecomprised of forums with distinguished leaders,workshops and community work activities.

A total of 40 participants from 6 Asian countries;Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, the Philippines,Singapore and Thailand took part.

Our collaboration was to “translate environmentalawareness into action”. After numerous meetingsand discussions with Hitachi International’srepresentative here in KL, Edelman Public RelationsWorldwide Sdn. Bhd., the Education Departmentdeveloped an information-activity pack of 6threatened Malaysian animals.

Spending a whole day at the zoo, participantsteamed up with their partners from the MalaysianFederation of the Deaf and completed activitiesat each of the 6 animal enclosures. The MalaysianFederation of the Deaf translators were at eachsection to assist.

Although this collaboration was challenging andfaced with many obstacles, the experience waswell worth the effort. The development of theinformation-activity pack has been beneficial asit has also been very useful for other programmes.

Initial efforts to promote more in-deptheducational programmes in the beginning of 2005were met with some interest by NGOs, but didnot produce any results.

However, in June 2005, our colleagues at FRIM-MNS-SHELL Nature Education Centre (NEC)booked us for a session of ‘Tak Kenal, Maka TakCinta’ – focusing on Tigers.

The 20 odd group of enthusiastic childrenparticipated in a half day programme whichincluded a short introduction lecture about tigers,enrichment activities in the tiger enclosure andgoing behind-the-scenes at our Big Cats holdingarea. Everyone was thrilled with the opportunityto be able to come close to these magnificentanimals and work in their homes.

This soon led on to two more similar programmes,focusing on Orangutans (24 August) and finallyon Pythons (14 December). We would like to thankthe educators from FRIM-MNS-SHELL NEC forhaving faith in our new programme and supportingus.

Presentations off-site

Another worth mentioning collaboration was withLESCA who is an educational event organizer,endorsed by the government to conduct sciencecamps for primary school children at a nationallevel. We were invited to give a talk on wildlife atthe National Science Centre on 15 March. Thepacked auditorium of 300 primary school childrenalso took part in a short quiz at the end of thepresentation.

The Education Department was also invited togive short talks to employees of KL Aquaria andthe Department of Forestry. Both created theopportunity to provide the most currentinformation on environmental and wildlifeconservation, conservation education and topromote the zoo.



Training, Workshops and Seminars

Head of Department, Ms. Renee Yee, was invitedto be a facilitator at ‘Teachers for Tigers’workshop at IKB Bukit Rengit, Lanchang, Pahang,from 7 till 15 January. This environmentaleducation workshop was jointly organized by theDepartment of Wildlife and National Parks(PERHILITAN) and Wildlife Conservation Society(WCS). A subsequent follow-up workshop washeld at Melaka Zoo from 24th till 27th July.Education Officer, En. Suzalinur Manja attendedas a participant.

Both Ms. Renee Yee and Encik Suzalinur Manjaparticipated in a science workshop, entitled“Petrosains Sharing Session” at the Kuala LumpurConvention Centre on 8th July. The presentationswere interesting and brought up the subject ofthe effectiveness of scientific organizations oncreating awareness on science.

Before the year ended, the department wasapproached by Malaysian Conservation Alliancefor Tigers (MYCAT), a governmental and non-governmental movement working for theconservation of the Malayan Tiger in PeninsularMalaysia. Together with their partners, theyorganized an awareness workshop for local pressand media from 5th – 6th December. A total of20 participants, including MYCAT partners werepresent to share their thoughts on how toincrease and improve tiger (and other wildlife)issues through media.

Exhibitions and Special Events

The Education and Public Affairs & MarketingDepartments worked closely to organise events

and visitor activities, whether they take placeon site in the zoo (mainly during the festiveseasons) or outside at bookstores, shoppingcentres and at exhibitions.

Zoo Negara was invited a few times in 2005 toparticipant in TV3’s Sure Heboh Carnival. Beforethe year ended, we organized the UniversalChildren’s Day celebration on Saturday, 20thNovember. Officiated by the Vice-President ofUnited Nation’s Association of Malaysia, Tan SriRazali Ismail, the event was supported bygenerous sponsors. The department was incharge of organizing activities for children; EssayWriting, Story-telling and Costume Competitions.

Appreciation

The Department still regularly receives groupvolunteers from higher learning institutions suchas Kolej MARA Banting. We also saw an increaseof secondary school students volunteering at thezoo as a requirement for Moral subject.

Large groups, however, were slightly problematic.Therefore, we rewrote the terms for theVolunteer Programme and have inserted clausesfor groups. At the same time, to prevent ‘one-time only’ volunteers, we are also going to askthat all volunteers complete a quota of at least8 hours a month beginning 2006.

Meanwhile, our most helpful volunteer hasreturned from the United States. Mr Larry Reitenhas been volunteering every year since 2001 fora stretch of 3 to 4 months. His and the othervolunteers’ commitment and dedication continueto be appreciated.


PARK &GARDENS

The Department was accountable to ensure theZoo’s landscape remain at a high standard. Thejob included the maintenance, beautification andthe daily cleaning of the Zoo compound.

2005 was a flourishing year for the Department.Besides the usual overall landscaping works, theDepartment has also involved in four major eventsheld in the Zoo.

Earth day 2005

The celebration of the Earth Day was carried outthrough a one day event known as “TV3 goesGreen with Zoo Negara”. It was held on 24th

April 2005 as a joint event between SistemTelevisyen Malaysia Bhd (TV3) with Zoo Negara.

One of the major activities installed was “ThePlanting of 100 trees”. The trees were plantedby the VIPs from TV3, Forest research Instituteof Malaysia (FRIM), Walls and TV3 personalities.

The young wood trees were planted in varioussites around the Zoo as an effort for a greenerearth. Most of the trees were planted outsidethe perimeter of the Mammal Kingdom, SavannahWalk, Bear Complex and tiger section.

There were altogether 6 different types of localhard wood trees which were donated earlier byFRIM. Among the tree planted were; Pteleocarpalamponga, Pometia piñata, Syzygium grande,Sterculia sp. and Syzygium campanulatum.

Each individual tree was then labeled as a memoryof the event. The Department and surely theManagement of the Zoo were more than gratefulfor FRIM kind donation.

Sure Heboh Carnival

Regard to the MOU with TV3, Zoo Negara wasinvited to be part in the ever popular event; the“Sure Heboh Carnival”. Zoo Negara was given aclosed fully air-conditioned tent. The overall setuptook place on 1st September 2005, with a themeof “Walk on the wild side with Zoo Negara”.

To provide an in-door natural surrounding, theDepartment had supplied quite a big quantity offresh plants such as young wood trees, shrubsand herbaceous plants.

These plants were still in their polybags whichmake them easier to be transferred, and theywere all taken off from the Zoo nursery. Besidesplants, plants derivates; portioned-cut branches,tree barks and stacks of dried leaves were alsosupplied.

Herbal Garden

The Department has worked closely with FRIM tocreate an “Herbal Garden” in the Zoo as anaddition to the present collection. The mainpurpose was to educate visitors about the herbalplants species in Malaysia and their medicinalvalues.

12 herbs plants species were planted in a smallplot outside the Mammal Kingdom, behind theMalayan Porcupine (Hystrix brachyura) enclosure.Among the herbs planted were; Clerodendronpaniculatum, Kaempferia galangal, Orthosiphongranddiflorus, Melastoma imbricatum, Jasminumsambac, Phaeomeria imperialis, Lantana camara,Piper longum, Eurycoma apiculata. This projectwas accomplished with the help of two practicalstudents from University Malaysia Sabah.


Botanical Guide Book

The idea to produce a Botanical Guide Book camefrom the Management. As the project was stillunderway, the main objective was to give thevisitors a better understanding about thebotanical entities around the Zoo’s vastlandscape. Following the book will be “TheBotanical Tour” in which will be an added valueto the whole project.

With a planned work frame, the first step was torecord the botanical entities that will be insertedin the book. To achieve this, the Department hadbeen working together with the EducationDepartment that was responsible to capture thedigital photographs of the plants. Plantscharacteristics such as flower, fruit, leaves etcwere added in. With the production of this book,visitors will both experience the wildlife and thebotanical entities that can be found in our megadiverse country.

Replanting

There are many reasons to replanting; one ofthem is to create a better panoramic view to theareas of which the previous plants failed toprovide. By introducing a more suitable plant, weensure that the specific area matched with thesurrounding; enclosure, thus improving the overalllandscape.

There were several beautification projects thathad taken place around the Zoo which involvedreplanting. Most of the areas had been replantedwith cover crops; Ophiopogon jaburan, or smallflowered-plants; Lantana camara, or floweredshrubs; Sanchezia nobilis, Turnera troniflora,Iresine sp., Canna sp., to add more colour.

Besides the facelift, replanting also resulted inother advantages. The Malvaviscus arboreusmexicans for instance produced flower that wasfavored by small wild birds, and flower fromQuisqualis indica produced a strong lovely scentat night.

One of the major replanting projects in 2005 wasthe replacement of the previously planted Baphianitida with Helicornia rostrata, outside the BirdHouse’s aviaries. By removing the B. nitida,visitors have had a clearer view of the birds fromoutside.

Maintenance

The up keep of the landscape also involved theuse of fertilizer. As in previous years, bothchemical and organic fertilizer had been widelyused. The organic fertilizer utilized the poo thatwas collected everyday from animal’s enclosureand was kept at the Zoo’s nursery. Only thedecayed poo was used.

The big trees also received their uplift and healthcheck which involved pruning and termite control.Pruning was delivered quarterly to keep the tree’scanopy in balanced and also to cut off the nearlydead branches from falling dangerously on visitorsor animals. Besides that, the termites’ controlwhich concerned the selected trees was sprayedwith chemicals, around 2 feet from the base.

The Department was responsible to guaranteethe cleanliness of Zoo’s compounds. Cleaning wascarried out as a daily routine. Another responsibilitywas the fogging programme which was done twicea month. The fogging was done either in the earlymorning or late evening.


ZOOLOGYMAMMALS

The year saw changes to the types and numberof mammals at the Zoo. By the year end, wehad 95 mammal species as compared to 89 fromthe previous year. Similarly, the number of mammalindividuals was also higher from 538 in 2004 to557 in 2005, respectively.

PrimatesThe Primate Section produced 10 new individualsin 2005. The new births were from Anubis Baboon(Papio anubis), Bonnet Macaque (Macacaradiata), Silver Leaf Monkey (Presbytis cristatus)and White Handed Gibbon (Hylobates lar).

In November 2005, a group of 3.7.0 Silver LeafMonkey (Presbytis cristatus) was brought in fromKuala Selangor area. With this new bloodline,inbreeding will be reduced among the Silver LeafMonkey.

All the 3.5.0 Bornean Orangutan (Pongopygmaeus) and 2.4.0 Sumatran Orangutan (Pongoabelii) had undergone the normal medical check-up in 2005, however with two additional protocolsfor DNA analysis and the insertion of microchipssubcutaneously as a new tagging system.

A male Sumatran Orangutan (Charlie) was sentto Singapore Zoo on the 7th June 2005 for theanimal exchange programme.

Mammal KingdomA pair of Asian Clawed Otters (Aonyx cinerea)which was donated to the Zoo last year againgives birth to four pups in August. This family ofeight otters can now be observed in the exhibitto the left of the bear complex.

Two colonies of Capybara (Hydrochoerushydrochaeris) gave birth to seven lovely babiesand all of them are growing very well. UnderwaterWorld Langkawi loan a pair of Capybara from ZooNegara for the launching of one of the largestsea water aquarium in Malaysia.

A pair of Ostrich (Struthio camelus) in theenclosure opposite the tiger enclosure was movedto an empty enclosure beside the Ankole cattle(Bos Taurus). We replaced the emptied enclosurewith a pair of striped Hyena (Hyaena hyaena)which was brought in from Singapore Zoo.

A female Malayan Tiger (Kitty) (Panthera tigrisjacksoni) from the holding Center was transferredto socialize with the adult Malayan Tiger (Bingo)in the Malayan Tiger enclosure. The Gir Lion(Sheba) died on the 24th December 2005 after along stay of over 20 years at Zoo Negara.

HoofThe year started with the successfultranslocation of a pair of Malayan gaur (Bosgaurus hubbacki) from the Seladang BreedingCentre in Jenderak, Pahang to Zoo NegaraMalaysia. They were kept indoors about fourweeks for observation and acclimatization beforethey were released into the exhibit. Feedingand water were given ad libitum.

On the animal exchange programme withSingapore Zoo, 2.2.0 Nyala (Tragelaphus angasi)were brought in last year and successfullysocialized with our present two females.

At the end of the year 2005, a total 48 birthswere recorded from the followings; 2.2.0 Giraffes(Giraffa camelopardalis), 1.2.0 Zebra (Equusburchelli), 3.2.0 Banteng (Bos javanicus),


BIRDS

In 2005, the Bird Section was occupied with thecreation of natural habitats for birds, both inthe exhibits of the bird house and also aroundthe lake. We attempted to plant some mangrovetree saplings at one corner of the lake. Thiswould give a more natural habitat for more than300 free flying painted storks (Mycterialeucocephala). Some non bird species such asSquirrels, Iguanas, Mousedeer, Kangaroo,Wallabies and Flying Lemurs were incorporatedin multi-species exhibit and cared by the teamin the Bird Section.

The Section continued to excel in breeding ofthe following species in 2005: 0.0.36 PaintedStorks ( Mycteria leucocephala), 0.0.27 MilkyStorks (Mycteria cinerea), 0.0.20 Black CrownedNight Heron (Nycticorax nycticorax), 0.0.13Crestless Fireback (Lophura erythropthalma),0.0.11 Malayan Peacock Pheasants (Polyplectronmalacense), 0.0.6 Pink Backed Pelican(Pelecanus ruescens), 0.0.4 Silver Pheasants(Lophura nycthemera), 0.0.4 Common Peafowl(Pavo cristatus), 0.0.2 African Spoonbill (Plataleaalba), 0.0.1 Greater Hornbill (Buceros bicornis),

3.1.0 Hog Deer (Axis porcinus), 1.1.0 Barking Deer(Muntiacus muntjak pelharicus), 1.1.1 IndianGaur (Bos gaurus gaurus), 2.0.0 Sable Antelope(Hippotragus niger), 1.7.1 (Axis) Spotted Deer(Axis axis), 1.0.0 Pony (Equus caballus), 0.0.4Bearded Pigs (Sus barbatus), 2.1.0 Ankole Cattle(Bos Taurus), 1.2.0 Sambar Deer (Cervus unicolorequines), 0.0.1 Red-Legged Pademelon (Thylogalestigmatica), 0.0.1 Javan Deer (Cervustimorensis), 1.0.0 Red Lechwe (Kobus lecheleche) and 2.0.0 Common Goat (Capra aegagrus).

We continue to open the entire South East Asianand African animal exhibits for “Zoo By Night” onevery Saturday, Sunday and on the evening ofholidays. Night feeding have been introduced forseveral species, namely the Spotted Deer (Axisaxis), Banteng (Bos javanicus), Indian Gaur (Bosgaurus gaurus), Red Legged Pademelon(Thylogale stigmatica), Malayan Tapir (Tapirusindicus), Barking Deer (Muntiacus muntjakpelharicus), Dromedary Camel (Camelusdromedarious), Ostrich (Struthio camelus),Giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis) and Nile Hippo(Hippopothamus amphibious).

Zoo Negara Malaysia recognizes thatenvironmental enrichment is an important andnecessary part of husbandry practices for ourcaptive animals. Apart from feeding stimulus,creating sensory stimulus by using spices andplant items enhanced opportunities for animalsto display their natural behavioral needs.Forexample; White Rhinoceros (Ceratotheriumsimum) were observed for three months to recorda baseline for their behavior. After the scenttreatment was given, the Rhino’s started to showaggressive behavior and followed by mountingbehavior which we suspected copulation to occuron 5th December 2005.


0.0.1 Rhinoceros Hornbill (Buceros rhinoceros),0.0.1 Nicobar Pigeon (Caloenas nicobarica), 0.0.1Emu (Dromaius novaehollandiae) and also 0.0.2Agile Wallaby which shared exhibit space withthe Emu (Dromaius novaehollandiae).

The Humboldt Penguin (Spheniscus humboldti)had laid two eggs which were collected forartificial incubation at the Bird House. Both eggshad embryos; however the fully formed embryohad died during development.

This year Zoo Negara continued to exchangecaptive bred birds with Penang Birdpark, KualaBirdpark and Johore Zoo as part of our contributionto conservation. Zoo Negara Malaysiacollaborated with Universiti Putra Malaysia,Universiti Malaya, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysiaand others, not only in the Bird Section but alsoin other Sections such the Zoo Hospital, MammalSection and the Hoof Section.

The Bird Section assisted the Sekolah MenengahTaman Connaught in Cheras in their “EksplorasiAlam Kerjaya” competition which was held atnational level in July last year.

Mr Gary Robbins and John Corder from the WorldPheasant Association, United Kingdom came fora visit to Zoo Negara Malaysia.

Other distinguished guests that visited the BirdHouse in 2005 include Staff of Sabah ZoologicalPark, Langkawi Birdpark, Taman Hidupan LiarSabah, Indonesia Rescue Center, Kuala LumpurBirdpark, PERHILITAN and Saigon Zoo Director.

The Staff from the Bird Section also attendedthe MAZPA course held in Zoo Negara Malaysia.And some senior staff participated as facilitatorsor demonstrators at the MAZPA course.

The course in Taxidermy which was held in MelakaZoo on 24th June 2005 was attended by threestaff from Zoology Department.

REPTILES

The exhibits for the Reticulated Python (Python reticulatus) and the King Cobra (OphiophagusHannah) were further improved to attract visitors to the reptile house. These are the two mainattraction exhibits of the reptile house. Most of the visitors were interested in the handling and themanagement aspects of their pets such as iguanas and snakes.

The Dwarf Crocodile (Osteolaemus tetrapsis) produced six new young ones from 14 eggs after 95days in incubator.We helped to hatch by breaking the shells. The eight eggs were infertile. TheShore Pit Viper (Trimeresurus purpureomaculatus) gave birth to 12 babies.

There were reptile donations from the public as well as the Fire Department. These include theKing Cobra (Ophiophagus Hannah), Malayan Water Monitor (Varanus salvator), Reticulated Python(Python reticulated), Copperhead Racer (Elaphe radiate) and some tortoises.

AKUARIUM TUNKUABDUL RAHMAN

Since its closure in 2002, the AquariumCommittee of Zoo Negara has been finding meansand ways to reopen Akuarium Tunku AbdulRahman (ATAR). However, due to the lack offunds and the threat of moving the entire zoo,the work of refurbishing the aquarium had to bestalled.

Nevertheless, somewhere in January of 2004,funds were made available for the refurbishmentof ATAR and the newly elected AquariumCommittee decided to carry on with therefurbishment works.

In the meantime, and as a substitute to thelarger aquarium complex, several smaller sectionshave been open to display smaller tanks withvarious fish, namely the Children’s World Aquariumand the Fishes of The World Aquarium locatednext to the Marrybrown Restaurant. The Arapaimatank however has not been changed and stillprovides visitors with a breathtaking display oflarge fish such as the Arapaima, River Catfish,Pacu and the Redtail Catfish.

The New Aquarium Committee Members

The new aquarium committee is now headed byDato’ Jimin Idris who is a long standing memberof the MZS Council. After much discussion anddeliberation, several capable and experiencedindividuals in the field of aquarium managementwere chosen as the members of the newAquarium Committee. They are as follows:

1. En. Majdi Khairuddin - Aquarium Hobbyist,member of the Aquarium Club at Zoo Negara.Managing Director; Impact Assets. AircraftMaintenance Engineer.

2. Mr. Peter Leong - Aquarium Hobbyist, memberof the Aquarium Club at Zoo Negara. ManagerPricewaterhouse Coopers. Accountant.

3. Mr. Brian Chee - Managing Director; UniqueBubbles. Aquarium Consultant

4. Mr. Patrick K.Y. Lee - Scientific Officer AMCALUniversity of Malaya. Ecologist

Ex - Officio:

1. Herman Bernard Ganapathy - Zoo Negara.Assistant Curator of Aquarium Tunku AbdulRahman. Ecologist

2. Ms. Claire Beastall - Zoo Negara. ZooConsultant for Zoo Negara. Zoologist.

3. Dato’ Haji Zaharin - Council Member MZS.Quantity Surveyor.

4. En. Shahril Shariff - Zoo Negara. Maintenanceand Development Officer.

Refurbishment works

The new aquarium committee had commissioneda study on the integrity of the aquarium tankswithin the aquarium complex following reports ofthe curator that some of the tanks had shownsigns of severe deterioration.

Following this two independent engineeringcompanies were called in to give their view onthe matter. In general, both had indicated thatthere was indeed a problem with the tanks andthat further investigation had to be carried outto determine the seriousness of the problembefore any refurbishment work can be done.

The committee also discussed in depth otheraspects of the aquarium in particular the LifeSupport System (LSS), the glass and sealants,lighting, rewiring, ventilation, signages as wellas flora and fauna for the new aquarium.


Currently quotes are being obtained for the LSSand other areas of refurbishment. Action BaseConsultants (ABC) was officially appointed asproject consultant for the refurbishment works.The actual work started off with the StructuralCondition Surveys of the entire building and itstanks. This commenced in April 2005. Followingthis a report was produced by the consultantswith detailing the various areas of work neededfor the aquarium.

By July 2005, several potential companies wereinvited to submit their tender proposals. Kim HanConstruction Sdn Bhd was awarded the tenderafter evaluation by the ABC consultant, theAquarium Committee and the DPC. Site possessionand actual construction work only commencedin August 2005. The work is to be completed byFebruary 2006.

Fish Health

Fish health in general proved satisfactory butthe Arapaima pool still had a problem with itscurrent filtration system. The inability to copewith the high loads of waste caused deteriorationin the water quality.

Projects

Among others, the various works carried out atthe aquarium for the whole of 2005, include thefollowings:

1. Routine work of maintaining all the varioussections within the aquarium such as theMarrybrown Aquarium, Children’s WorldAquarium, the Arapaima tank and the mainaquarium block together with the holdingcenter, the nursery and the gardens.

2. Re-landscaping the front portion of theaquarium building so that this section canbe opened to the public. Works here includereplanting of the areas surrounding theentrance and adding of new but smalleraquariums around the area.

3. Formation of a Fern/Herb garden next to theaquarium with various fern and herb speciesincluding pitcher plants and aquatic plants

4. A new program by ATAR is the Fish Clubwhich is aimed at fish hobbyists. Currentlythere are no specialized clubs for fishenthusiast. Thus ATAR has taken the firststep in providing an avenue where fishenthusiast can gather and discuss mattersconcerning the hobby. To date this grouphas met about four times with only a smallinitial group of six to ten members but plansto expand once the aquarium is up andrunning. Other than discussions on topicsconcerning aquatic life, the group has alsogone for two filed trips. Amongst others theaims of the club would be:

• To provide an avenue of discussion foraquatic related topics

• To provide hobbyists the opportunity tobe involved with the daily running of apublic aquarium

• To provide a platform for hobbyists to beinvolved in serious research andconservation efforts by the Zoo inparticularly ATAR

• To provide an avenue for interactionbetween various hobbyists

• To assist ATAR to reach its goal as a‘people’s aquarium’


VETERINARYSERVICES

The year saw changes in the overall managementof Zoo Veterinary Hospital. Due to therestructuring of Zoo Negara, Dr.Mat Naim Hj.Ramlihas taken the position of Zoo Head VeterinaryHospital from Dr.S.Vellayan.

The position of Field Assistant Veterinarian hasbeen occupied in June 05 by Dr.Azlan Che Amatbut he later resigned by the end of 2005 topursue his Masters degree. Mr.Khairul Naim washired as Laboratory technician in early June 05and was fully in charge of the laboratory in ZooVeterinary Hospital.

Internal Laboratory Work

The main function and focus of zoo lab was toexamine or analyse faecal samples of eachspecies of zoo animals. Faecal examinations werecarried out on a regular basis and throughoutthe year 2845 faecal samples were screened forparasitology.

Of these 550 found positive for a various typeof internal helminthes ova and larva such asstrongyle, trichuris sp, hookworm and protozoasuch as Balantidium and amoeba spp.

Three (3) techniques of faecal examinationnamely direct feacal smear (Normal saline &Iodine), concentrated Brine floatation andformalin – ether sedimentation were applied andremained the effective analysis method ofhelminths.

External Laboratory Work

Besides faecal samples other specimens were sentto external laboratory facilities such as PJ Lab(under Department of Veterinary Services) UKM,VRI, Chemistry Department and UPM commonlyfor bacteriology, virology, histology, biochemistry,genetic and DNA analysis. A total of 437specimens were sent to the external labthroughout the year.

Post Mortem

A total of 300 post mortem were carried outthat includes 28.3%, reptile, 33.3%, birds,15%,hoofstock,13.3% rodents, 6% feline and 4.5%primates. Typical signs of bacterial infection stilldominating the post mortem lesions and it showsthis microorganism remained the biggest problemfacing by zoo animals. Specimens sent to eitherPJ Lab or UPM revealed positive culture for variousbacteria such as E.coli,Klebsella sp.,Salmonellasp.and etc.

Field Cases

The hospital worked hard to maintain a highstandard of animal case. Routine investigationand treatment were carried out either as inpatientor out outpatient. Smaller and manageable animalswith serious signs were brought to zoo hospitaland treated as inpatient. Others like ungulatesspecies and carnivores treatment took place inthe field. A total number of 131 patients wereadmitted during the year 2005. Sumatran tiger‘May Gagah‘ was put to sleep after more thantwo years in zoo hospital due to chronicemaciation and Leptospira positive.

Animal Tranquillized

A total of 46 animals were tranquillized for variousreasons. Suturing wound due to fighting amongmales in primates enclosure is among the popularreason of sedation. Other reasons of course forfully medical checkup, severe wound treatmentand blood collection.


Under the collaboration effort with WildlifeDepartment, 12 orang utan for both speciesBorneon and Sumatran were tranquillized for bloodcollection for DNA analysis and implantingmicrochip identification.

Microchip Identification

After umpteen years without individualidentification, except names and cages, we haveapplied microchip identification system startingOctober 2005. By year 2005, 32 animals wereimplanted with microchip subcutaneously thatincludes large and small cat, orang utan, kingcobra and some lesser primates.

Quarantine and Holding Centre

In year 2005 suggestion was given to zoologydepartment to separate the function of holdingcenter as a place for temporary holding anunexhibits specimens and at the same time isalso a quarantine area for new animals. It was anormal practise that new animals in quarantinearea shouldnt be mixed with other existing animalsin zoo. Quarantine is a vital step in bringing anew animal into a zoo‘s collection and this produceis to upgrade the standard of keeping zoo animalsin general.

Preventive Medicine

Preventive medicine is the backbone of anymedical program in a zoo due to inherent problemin diagnostic produces and treatment of wildanimals. Preventive medical procedures arerecorded and become the start of the animals’medical record. Complete records are essentialto all programs.

Preventive medicine includes;1. Vaccination

A total of 32 felines were vaccinated withFeline Leukemia Rhinotracheatis – Calici –Panleukopemia – Chlamydia psittaci and 10canines were vaccinated against Caninedistemper, Adenovirus type 2–ParainfluenzaParvovirus and Leptospira canicola.

2. TB TestingTB testing and culture was done for orangutan ‘Charlie‘ before sending to SingaporeZoo for breeding purpose and found to bepositive TB (Mycobacterium tuberculosis)Pest Control.

The zoo‘s on going pest control programmeresulted in the capture of 3288 crows, 25stray cats, 22 python,6 palm civet, 18monitar lizard and hundred rats in the zoocompound. These program is to minimise therisk of disease transmissionthrough carrier host animals.

3. DewormingSpesific deworming based on faecalexamination result has been practicedthroughout the year. A total of 284 has beendewormed with antihelminth drug.

4. AI ScreeningA total of 48 birds were screened randomlyfor AI and all are negative results.

Volunteer and Students Training

Zoo Veterinary Hospital continues to be amongthe favourite section in Zoo Negara forvoluntarily works by students in Klang Valleyand also for undergraduate universitycompleting their two months industrial trainingcourse. In 2005 zoo hospital received about 27volunteers and 21 university students undersemester breaks training course.
