Once a major tourist attraction, the zoo appears to be back on its feet after the pandemic but is still in need of a revamp.
For decades, Zoo Negara has been a tourist draw for local and international visitors alike who flock to the park in Ulu Klang, Selangor, to take in the sight, sound – and smell – of the thousands of animals that live on the grounds.
Today, though, the question for some might be the extent to which the zoo has kept up with the times, especially in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic which caused widespread closures throughout the country for the better part of two years.
A recent visit to the zoo found many of its facilities unchanged and a dated air hanging about the place.
