Tickets for panda-viewing less than RM20

Ticket prices to visit the pair of Pandas are unlikely to cost more than RM20 for adults and half price for children, Natural Resource and Environment Minister Datuk Seri G. Palanivel said.

Speaking to reporters after officiating at the opening of the Malaysia Herbs Exhibition in the Putra World Trade Centre (PWTC) here today, he said Zoo Negara had yet to confirm the actual ticket prices to enable the people to view Fu Wa and Feng Yi next month.

The pair of pandas, which is on loan to Malaysia for 10 years, arrived in the KL International Airpot MASKargo Complex here on Wednesday.

He said the exhibition encouraged collaboration on research, development and commercialisation among entrepreneurs, product manufacturers and local herbal researchers besides empowering public confidence on the potentials of herbs as an alternative treatment.

Over 40 local industry entrepreneurs are taking part in the exhibition starting today until this Sunday.
