"The gender of this baby panda is not known, as it is still under the care of its mother and cannot be approached. The Zoo Negara staff will continue to monitor Liang Liang and her cub for the next 24 hours," authorities said.

The pair is on loan to Malaysia for 10 years.
Congrats Zoo Negara, Fu Wa (Xing Xing) and Feng Yi (Liang Liang).
