MELAKA (Bernama): The Melaka Zoo needs about RM600,000 a month to cover animal care and operational expenses following its temporary closure during the lockdown due to risk of Covid-19 transmission.

Hang Tuah Jaya Municipal Council president Datuk Shadan Othman said of the total, RM250,000 is needed to buy food for 550 animals representing 250 species being housed at the zoo.

"Revenue was down after the Zoo was closed for almost six months... but MPHTJ still has to cover the operating costs or rely on funds from non-governmental organisations, private companies, government and individuals, especially to buy animal feed for the wildlife to survive." Elaborating, Shadan said the animals’ food intake cannot be rationed as they must be fed with the necessary nutrients as recommended by veterinary officers who monitor the health of the animals.
