RM 415,789.00 as compared to RM 278,321.00 for 2005. The Public Affairs & Marketing Department is to be congratulated for the increase in donations and sponsorships from the public sector, RM 672,117.00 compared with RM 557,488.00 the previous year. DEVELOPMENT The refurbishment of the Tunku Abdul Rahman aquarium was completed by the middle of the year at a total cost of RM 2,438,000.00. The amount represents 74% of the total development expenditure for the year. Of the 38 special events and programmes arranged during the year, one of the highlights was ‘Karnival Wow Hebatnya Zoo’ in March organized by the P.R. Graduates of Uitm Shah Alam. Participating in the event was the renowned celebrity and conservationist Zainalabidin. The day ended with a mini night concert attended by several fellow artists. Another highlight was the Earth Day programme in April at which Rotary International District 3300 members planted over a hundred Hibiscus shrubs (Malaysia’s national flower) and at the same time raised funds for the Zoo. Zoo Negara’s Reptile House is home to a wide variety of indigenous and foreign reptiles. We are proud of the success of our keepers in the captive breeding of the False Gharial. Even sweeter when National Geographic team chose our Zoo to host Dr. Brady Barr’s “Dangerous Encounters” promotion in Malaysia. Dr. Barr spent two days at the Reptile House educating students about reptiles. Many organizations and companies perform community projects at Zoo Negara and we are most grateful for their efforts and the funds they raised. Special mention of thanks to Carlsberg Brewery Malaysia Berhad, ExxonMobil Exploration & Production Inc. and Petroliam Nasional Berhad for their generous contribution of funds and manpower for the upgrading of installations in the Zoo. FUTURE PLANS The Society awaits the outcome of our application for funds from the Federal Government made via PERHILITAN in the 9th Malaysia Plan. If successful, we can then plan projects toward becoming a “World Class” Zoo by 2015! I wish to thank the Council and other members for advice and support during what has proven to be a seminal year in the history of the Society. Finally I extend my sincere thanks to all members of the staff for their hard work and dedication which has made it such a successful year. Director’s Report T he mission to encourage the interest of the general public and tourists to visit Zoo Negara continued to be given emphasis in 2006. Apart from creating activities targeting children and adults, particularly during the public and school holidays, we have also managed to change the look and the presentation of Zoo Negara to the visitors. Every quarter of the year, there were strategic changes made. For example, newly acquired animals on display, new or modified exhibits and new educational animal shows. The Akuarium Tunku Abdul Rahman (ATAR) was opened to the public on 1st August 2006. This 56 tankexhibit represents the first and the largest ecosystem-based aquarium displaying Malaysian flora and fauna. ATAR is developed as an educational tool for students who want to study about the flora and fauna in a typical Malaysian river system beginning from the upland, continuing downstream through mid-river and mangrove swamps, and finally, entering the sea. I would also like to acknowledge the help from Dato’ Junaidi Bin Che Ayub, the Director General of the Department Fisheries Malaysia, for furnishing freshwater fish from their research stations. Zoo Negara underwent two external audits on its operations in December 2006. The first audit was the Adequacy Audit for ISO 9001:2000 carried out by Puan Mariam Mohd Zin from SIRIM (Standard and Industrial Research Institute of Malaysia). The second audit on the Animal Welfare Assessment was done by Professor G. Agoramoorthy, Chairman for Ethics and Animal Welfare of SEAZA (Southeast Asian Zoos Association). We are confident that by our openness and exposure to third party evaluations on its operations, Zoo Negara Malaysia is on the right track to be a “World Class” Zoo in the near future. to meet with ‘Manja’ the Orangutan and the rest of ‘Manja’s’ family and cousins. Besides donating to the Zoo occasionally, Pn. Rossiti has written a storybook for children featuring Manja and managed to get the publication of the book sponsored by HSBC Bank Malaysia Berhad. The book will be distributed to all primary schools in Peninsular Malaysia and sold at Zoo Negara. Proceeds from the sales of this book will be channeled for education and conservation. We have worked with TRAFFIC (Wildlife Trade Monitoring Network) and assisted in the species identification component of their CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) training course for reporters, Cargo, Customs and Wildlife Department Officers. The Multi-Animal Show continues to be run twice a day, Monday through Sunday, with the Night Animal Show at 8.30pm held only on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays. These have stirred much curiosity from the public. New animal acts were introduced and old shows dropped each quarter of the year so that audiences were given new messages with every new animal routine. Our main objectives are to educate the visitors about conservation and sustainable habitat for the wildlife. During the year, several exciting activities and entertaining events are reported in the Public Affairs & Marketing Department Report. Following successes of these activities and events, we have had another year of record donations and contributions from our loyal and new sponsors. The significant increase in donations, about RM672,117.00, received in 2006 is a reflection of the sponsors trust in the way Zoo Negara Malaysia is going forward from strength to strength. I would also like to take the opportunity to thank our loyal supporters that have come to aid Zoo Negara. Unlike ordinary visitors, Pn. Rossiti Aishah Rashidi and her family visit the Zoo every weekend To be thanked are group volunteers from institutes of higher learning Kolej Mara Banting and International Islamic University Malaysia; corporate companies HSBC Bank Malaysia Berhad, Petroliam Nasional Berhad, ExxonMobil Exploration and Production Inc., and Larry Reiten from the United States of America which has been with the Education Department from time to time for the last four years. I would also like to thank our young volunteers of YODA for their efforts in raising funds for the Zoo. 5 Finance & Administration T he income for 2006 increased to RM9.13 million as compared to RM7.74 million in 2005. However, the expenditure increased concurrently from RM7.46 million in 2005 to RM8.71 million in 2006. The main increase was due to salary increases and maintenance costs. The ISO 9001:2000 award brings international recognition, a real boost to any organization’s credibility. We hope to be the first Zoo in Malaysia and South East Asia to achieve this accreditation. It allows us to continuously improve the Quality Management Systems and Standard Operating Procedures of Zoo Negara. This will also enhance public trust in Zoo operations and positively transform us in the corporate culture. SIRIM has audited our documentation and we target to achieve ISO 9001:2000 certification by June 2007. Towards ISO 9001:2000, the Administration Department organized several educational visits to overseas Zoos. They were: Singapore Zoo on 14th to 17th February, Songkla Zoo, Thailand, 17th to 19th March, and Medan Zoo, Indonesia, 11th to 15th May. The programme sought to provide opportunities for the Council members and staff to develop knowledge on animal husbandry and animal enrichment. Public Affairs & Marketing 6 T he issue of Avian Flu and the price hike on petrol affected Malaysia as a whole. Places of interest around the country, such as Zoo Negara, felt the pressure in 2006. Hazy conditions saw the decline of foreign tourists into the country whilst Malaysians tried to avoid outdoor activities. Despite these problems, Zoo Negara managed to top the number of last year visitors with a total of 780,256. The Society is a non-profit organization and does not have budget for advertising. It relies completely on press coverage during events, filming productions and collaborations with the Tourism Board of Malaysia, tour agencies, hotels, taxis and tour guide associations. All of whom have given the department valuable assistance. Among the 38 events organized, the Annual Earth Day Celebration proved to be a great success in many ways. Co-organized with the Rotary Club from District 3300, a hundred Rotarians took part in a tree planting programme. The event was attended by Y.Bhg. Dato’ Sazmi Miah, Secretary to the Minister of Natural Resources and Environment. A charity carnival was also held in April. Various local performers pledged their time to entertain and interact with the crowd throughout the day. The event was co-organized by undergraduates from UiTM Shah Alam, a local university. The Annual Fishing Competition attracted 250 fishing enthusiasts trying their luck at Zoo Negara’s Tunku Abdul Rahman (TAR) Lake. The competition was held as the calendar event to reduce the number of Snakehead fish in the lake which is also home to more than 500 free flying birds. The fish are known for their aggressive nibbling on the feet of the storks as they stand in shallow water. M a n y o rg a n i z a t i o n s a n d companies have a mutuallybeneficial relationship with Zoo Negara. The Royal Mint of Malaysia launched the False Gharial Collector’s Coin, one of the Reptilian Collection set of 2006. Amongst many other companies, Pollution Engineering Sdn. Bhd. organized a Zoo Poo Sales Day to collect funds for the Zoo and simultaneously promote their products to the public and Obon International had co-organized programmes which resulted in valuable publicity. In 2006, 66 productions were made in relation to the Zoo and some were aired for as long as a month on national radio and TV. National Geographic’s promotion of the TV programme ‘Dangerous Encounters with Dr. Brady Barr’ is one of the many big scale productions at Zoo Negara. Media Prima’s NTV7 channel had also produced a successful game show year’s amount to RM672,117.00. Corporate Banking Giant – HSBC Malaysia Berhad is the Platinum Sponsor for the Zoo with a total of RM246,150.00 contributed to various animal and educational projects. A list of contributors can be found on page 19. Zoo Negara would also like to thank companies such as ExxonMobil Exploration and Production Inc., Ambank Group, Maybank, Carlsberg Brewery 7 several colouring competitions at the Zoo. Zoo Negara is the location of choice for media events by broadcasting and production companies such as RTM, Media Prima and ASTRO for talk shows, dramas, game shows, documentaries and children’s for children – Appeton Achievers Treasure Hunt. Over 500 children from all over the country took part in the week long programme. Sponsorship and donations, being one of the main financial sources for the Zoo, saw an increase from last Malaysia Berhad, Lion Group, KL Kepong Berhad, Petroliam Nasional Berhad and others for their continuous support during the year. Such contributions have assisted us greatly with the upkeep of the animals as well as with our education programmes. Development & Planning The Development and Planning Committee (DPC) continued its policy of improvement within the Zoo during 2006.

Education expand its capabilities in wildlife education. The department from time to time is invited to participate in exhibitions and promotions. Whilst doing so, it ensures that the Zoo’s role in education and conservation is better known to the public. E stablished in 1960’s, the department makes a major contribution towards public education. It ensures that schools are well informed of all services provided by means of brochures and newsletters throughout Malaysia. Students from 140 schools (8594 individuals) visited Zoo Negara during the year. The department continues the tradition of providing free services to schools such as the popular guided tours, worksheets, interactive sessions and educational games. The department also provided a variety of wildlife educational packages. Local and international schools have the choice to learn in accordance to the national syllabus or indulge in a more comprehensive learning experience about wildlife. With compact worksheets, fun and informative sessions, the department has managed to obtain returning schools, kindergartens and organizations each bringing new batch of students. Petrosains, an educational establishment for children, collaborated with the department for the fifth year. A variety of education programmes and visits around Kuala Lumpur were organized for Orang Asli students. The Education team conducted interactive sessions on Tigers and Orangutans with a comprehensive tour of the Zoo. Such collaboration benefits both organizations, and enable children to gain more knowledge in a fun and exciting manner. OUTREACH PROGRAMMES The Education Department conducted outreach programmes with schools during the year. An interactive talk on wildlife conservation and a display of tamed animals were conducted at S.K. Taman Tun Dr. Ismail during Science Week in October. Similar activities were held at S.R.K. Seri Bintang Utara in November for their Children’s Day Celebration. Outreach programmes such as these enabled the department to TRAINING AND SEMINARS The Education Department constantly provide training courses and seminars for organizations and individuals. Animal related courses are given by curators and veterinarians. During the year, a major pest control company, Rentokil, took part in a one-day animal handling programme. The department also conducted courses for Zoo staff. ‘Way Out Experience’ (an organization that provides volunteers for animal related institutions) invited experts Keith and Caroline of United Kingdom to conduct a primate enrichment course for the Zoo keepers and staff from Malacca and Taiping Zoo. Monthly seminars on animal related topics were also conducted at the Zoo in November and December. The seminars were held free of charge to the public and universities students. 9 Park and Gardens A s always a busy year, perhaps made more so by the record rainfall during much of the year under review. In addition to the regular maintenance, a great deal of development work was planned and implemented. overall remains vibrant, scenic and attractive to all visitors. Even local wildlife which is deprived of their original habitat by housing development seeks refuge and sustenance in our grounds. The year saw the retirement of Y.Bhg. Ir. Dr. Fauzi Abdul Samad as Chairman and it would be appropriate to record our thanks to him for his past years of advice and assistance. In the interim, Dr Mohamad Ngah the Zoo’s Director will act as the Committee Chairman. Replantings were completed at 16 sites during the year. Most such plantings designed to cover walls, mask fences, break outlines of structures, conceal utility features installations or as ground cover. 10 Overseas visitors in particular are impressed by the lush and decorative vegetation which highlights the need to ensure that the garden area and landscape Where appropriate, fruit trees were planted as wildlife and resident animal food source. The highlight of the year was the Annual Earth Day Celebration during which a hundred Rotarians from District 3300 planted 100 Hibiscus shrubs of 20 different varieties. The plants were generously donated by City Hall Kuala Lumpur. The Guest of Honour for the celebration was Y.Bhg. Dato’ Sazmi Miah, Parliament Secretary to the Minister of Natural Resources and Environment. He confirmed that the Ministry recognized Zoo Negara as the National Zoo. Zoology BIRDS In 2006, the Gombak area was affected by the Bird Flu epidemic. Zoo Negara took bio-security measures by closing the exhibit, disinfecting the area and sending samples of feces and blood for analysis. Movement of birds was strictly prohibited during this period. There were no cases of the virus outbreak in 2006 in the Zoo. The Bird section continued to help PERHILITAN with their Hornbill breeding programme. Several pheasants from Sungkai, Perak were obtained for breeding purposes. Monthly visits to Kuala Selangor Nature Park were also organized to check on the Milky Stork release programme.

PRIMATES There were many births in the Primate section. The Bonnet Macaque (Macaca radiata) added five off-springs to its family of 21 and our Baboons (Papio anubis) and Silver Leaf Monkeys (Presbytis cristatus) each had an off-spring of its own. 12 Exchange Programme Due to the burgeoning number of Bonnet Macaques and crowding of the exhibit area, 14 were exchanged for eight Lesser Mousedeer (Tragulus javanicus) and one Siamang ( Hylobates syndactylus). In a long term exchange programme with Malacca Zoo, 2.0 Dusky Leaf Monkeys (Presbytis obscurus) were received this year. 2005 is doing very well amongst the other Orangutans in the exhibit. It is hoped that he will produce many offspring in the near future. APE CENTRE The Ape Centre is home to both species of Orangutans and Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes). Currently, on display are a pair of Sumatran (Pongo abelii) and Bornean ( Pongo pygmaeus ) Orangutans and t h re e Chimpanzees. Breeding Programme In December, a Bornean Orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus) from the Show Section was sent to the Ape Centre for breeding purposes. ‘Punky’ the female Orangutan was paired with ‘Awang’ our male Orangutan. Exchange Programme ‘Charlie’ the Sumatran Orangutan that was exchanged with the Singapore Zoological Gardens in Enrichment & Volunteering Programme The Ape Centre staff collaborated with 43 volunteers from the ‘Way Out Experience’ Programme of United Kingdom. Their year long collaboration consists of enrichment programmes for the apes and general husbandry work. Future Plans The female Sumatran Orangutans, ‘Rokiah’ gave birth to a healthy male offspring ‘Tsunami’, two years ago. Both mother and baby will be introduced back to their family in 2007. Zoology MAMMAL KINGDOM Two groups of 18 Lesser Mousedeer (Tragulus javanicus) were received in an exchange programme. The first on 11 January and the second group arrived on 13 April. Both groups are kept in the Mousedeer Breeding Centre. Other additions at Mammal Kingdom include three Binturongs ( Arctictis binturong ) which arrived on 19 May from Taiping Zoo. Arrivals from the Singapore Zoological Garden on 21 July included a pair of Puma (Profelis concolor), a pair of Serval Cats (Leptailurus serval) one female African Lion (Panthera leo), and seven Prairie Dogs (Cynomys sp). The Pumas are currently on display beside the Spotted Leopard exhibit while the female African Lion is housed with the other lions in our Big Cats display area. The Serval Cats were later transferred to the Show Section. Animal Purchase 1.2.0 Cape Fur Seals (Arctocephalus pusillus) from South Africa arrived at Zoo Negara on 29 December and were housed at our Show Section. They are currently being trained for performance and display purposes. on 16 February and 23 August, and Group B had three offspring on the 15 and 26 October, and again, 24 December. On 15 January and 14 July, a pair of baby Napuh (Tragulus napu) were born and are currently progressing healthily. Births Tw o female Capybaras ( Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris ) gave birth to two young each on 24 and 29 October respectively. Two groups of Lesser Mousedeer (Tragulus javanicus) obtained in the exchange programme also produced off-spring. Group A gave birth to two young Mousedeer Striped Hyaenas ( Hyaena hyaena) that were obtained in an exchange programme with Singapore Zoological Gardens in 2005 gave birth to four pups in December. As one pup died, the other three were hand raised at the hospital. The family of five Small-Clawed Otters (Aonyx cinerea) has now increased to nine due to the birth of four pups. 13 Zoology SAVANNAH/HOOF By the end of the year, the South East Asian and African Hoof Animal section had 52 births from 18 species. Making a total of 250 animals were recorded in 2006 encompassing 33 species of hoof animals. Exchange Programme The section received four Bawean Deer (Axis khuli) from Taiping Zoo and two male Guanacos (Lama guanicoe) from Singapore Zoological Gardens in a long term exchange programme. Among the recorded births were: Zebras (Equus burchelli ), Red Legged Pademelons ( Thylogale stigmatica), Nile Hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibius), Nyalas (Tragelaphus angasi), Spotted Deer (Axis axis), Hog Deer (Axis porcinus) and Sambar Deer (Cervus unicolor equinus). 14 Enrichment projects Environmental or behavioral enrichment is a key component to every animal husbandry programme. Enrichment programmes, included mud bath for the White Rhinoceroses (Ceratotherium simum), salt lick cubes for the Giraffes (Giraffa camelopardalis) and twigs horning for Ankole Cattle (Bos taurus) and Bantengs (Bos javanicus). Currently, behavioral enrichment for breeding enhancement included feces smelling for the White Rhinoceroses (Cerathotherium simum) and partial isolation for the Malayan Gaurs (Bos gaurus hubbacki). Research Programme Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) conducted an ongoing research programme by collecting blood samples from Barking Deer (Muntiacus muntjak) to determine the content of lactic acid in the blood stream as a result of chemical restraint. Zoology REPTILES The latest additions to our Reptile section were from the order Testudines from Australia, the Eastern Snake Neck Turtle (Chelodina longicollis) and the South American Chaco Side Neck Turtle ( Acanthoochelys pallidipectoris). From the order Squamates, we have also introduced a Roughneck Monitor (Varanus rudicollis), a pair of Emerald Tree Monitors (Varanus prasinus), Tokay Gecko (Gekko gecko), Butterfly Lizards (Leiolepis belliana ), Oriental Whipsnake (Ahaetulla prasina), Copperhead Rat Snake (Elaphe radiata) and King Cobra ( Ophiophagus hannah) to our collections. Breeding Programme The Reptile section is in the process of incubating eggs from the Red Tailed Racer (Gonyosoma oxycephalum), Mangrove Snake ( Boiga dendrophila melanota ) and the Orange Necked Keelback (Macrophistodon flaviceps). Eggs from the Giant Asian Pond Turtle (Heosemys grandis) and Elongated Tortoise (Indotestudo elongata ) were incubated. Eggs from the Copperhead Rat Snake, Red-Tailed Racer and the Monocled Cobra were hatched successfully. Public Donations Snakes received from public were: Blood Python ( Python curtus brongersmai), Ball Python (Python regius), Wagler Pit Viper (Tropidolaemus wagleri) and the Hagens Pit Viper (Parias hageni). Other Projects ASTRO and the National Geographic Channel chose the Reptile section to host Dr. Brady Barr’s ‘Dangerous Encounters’ outreach programme with school children. Our Reticulated Python and crocodiles were selected by Dr. Barr to be part of his show on reptiles. Two of our Burmese Pythons ( Python molurus bivittatus ) were used for ‘The Mystical Steppes’ charity performance at Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre. 15 Veterinary Hospital T his year saw changes in the overall staffing of the Zoo Veterinary Hospital. The Head being Dr. Mat Naim Ramli from 2005 and Mohammad Khairul Na’im as a Lab Assistant Officer remain unchanged. Dr. Muhammad Danial Felix occupied the position of field veterinarian in April and in August, Dr. Reza Tarmizi was appointed Assistant Curator of the Reptile section. 16 Internal Laboratory Work The main function of the laboratory was to screen for infectious and non-infectious agents among the specimens to enable both preventive and curative actions to be taken. Fecal samplings were done on a monthly basis. Of the 2115 samples screened, 441 (20%) were found to be of significant parasitic burden. These are of the strongyle, trichuris species, hookworm and protozoa such as balantidium and amoeba species. External Laboratory Work External laboratory facilities such as the Petaling Jaya Regional Veterinary Laboratory, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, the Veterinary Research Institute (VRI) in Ipoh and the Chemistry Department and Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Science at Universiti Putra Malaysia were some of the laboratories used to aid in diagnosing disease problems in zoo specimens. A total of 664 samples were sent for bacteriology, virology, histology, biochemistry, genetic and DNA analysis. Animal Tranquilization 123 animals were tranquilized for various reasons. Tranquilization for sample collection is the popular reason for sedation. Other reasons include sedation for annual checkup, wound treatment and transferring to other exhibits. Physical restraint is limited to small size animals. Post Mortem 247 postmortems were carried out. 28% birds, 23.5% reptiles, 20% rodents, 15% hoof and 6% for primates and feline/carnivore. Preventive Medicine The backbone of any medical programme in a Zoo to aid in diagnostic and curative treatment is prevention. We have carried out some of the activities listed below: Field Cases Routine preventive physical examinations and curative treatment were carried out. The animals were treated either as inpatient or outpatient depending on size and manageability. 119 patients were admitted during the year 2006. Microchip Identification Since embarking on this system of animal identification in 2005, 48 chips were implanted into birds, mammals, reptiles and others this year. 1. Vaccination Vaccinated 48 specimens for the annual booster dose of canine and feline vaccines. 2. Tuberculosis (TB) Testing 73 specimens were screened for Mycobacterium species. 3. Deworming Only 40 (1.8%) of the 2115 specimens required deworming. 4. Avian Influenza (AI) Screening Bird specimens were screened randomly to monitor the status of the disease. 5. Predator Trappings 3863 animals caught; crows (68%), rats (27%) and monitor lizards (14%) made up the largest group. Others caught were pythons (0.5%), palm civets (0.4%), primates (0.1%) and dogs (0.02%). Volunteer and Student Training The department continues to receive undergraduates from institution of higher learning for their practical work. Volunteers also came in on a regular basis to work in the hospital supervised by keepers and veterinarians. Research Collaboration Research work in 2006:1.

Seminar and Workshop Starting late during the year were monthly scientific talks and workshops for internal and external participants. Designed to enhance knowledge and improve networking among those in the related fields of work. The topics presented were: 1. Parasites of Wildlife by Dr. David Gibson. 2. Status and identification of Jungle Fowl by Assoc. Prof Dr. Amin Babjee. 3. Concept and design of the Tunku Abdul Rahman Aquarium by Herman Ganapathy (Asst. Curator), Zoo Negara. 17 Aquarium Refurbishment of Akuarium Tunku Abdul Rahman (ATAR) T he land mark event for the year was undoubtedly the hand over of the renovated 35 year old Tunku Abdul Rahman Aquarium in June by the Development and Planning Committee. 56 refurbished tanks, replaced wiring and plumbing, new pumps, filters and ventilation systems were all in place. Fish were caught by the staff and some were outsource. A few species were obtained from Jabatan Perikanan Perlok. Fish were put into the tanks as they became available. Filling the tanks with fish, plants and invertebrates commenced in early 2006. Landscaping was done according to the freshwater river flow to the sea. River zones depicted:1. The Upper Stream Habitat 2. The Mid Stream Habitat 3. Man-made and Natural Wetlands 4. The Lower River Habitat 5. The Peat Swamp Habitat 6. The Mangrove Habitat 7. The Marine Habitat The marine tanks were designed for corals and coral reef fish. Stocks of this species are readily available and will be acquired when the tanks are ready. The stocking of all tanks is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2007. The redevelopment objective for the Aquarium is to reproduce river zones from source to the sea, as an educational display. This should encourage interest in the environment and the urgent need to care for the river systems in Malaysia. 18 require different decoration and landscaping. Separate filtration and circulation systems were also necessary. Opening of ATAR Acquisition of fish continued in November with the collecting of freshwater species. Some were obtained from farms in Johor while others were donated by a member of the Aquarium Committee. A special feature of the mangrove and marine exhibit is the illustration of the effect of tidal movements on the inhabitants and vegetation. The redesigned marine habitat tanks filled with salt water In June, the Management Committee decided that visitors are allowed free entry to the Aquarium as by then, their presence would not hinder the remaining work of renovation and stocking. The aquarium will be officially opened in the third quarter of 2007, coinciding with the Southeast Asian Zoos Association (SEAZA) conference in September 2007.
