I visited Malacca Zoo during the weekend. Its was my 2 visit. The place had changed for the better. They re-do some portion of the Zoo. Now there is a nice home for the tigers, panther and leopard. I like the fact the new cages looks so modern, clean and authentic. In fact it doesn't look like cages anymore. Perhaps it was the cleanliness that was particularly interesting and captivating. The entrance fee was RM 7 for adult and RM 4 for kids. For me it was money well worth and hence I am surprise that a mini Zoo in a small state like Malacca can be so well organised and managed. It is even better than National Zoo. For National Zoo, adult are charge RM 10 and there isn't much to see. I was really disappointed with our National Zoo. It is in a pathetic and deplorable state of condition for many of the animals. Its looks so dark, filthy and run down.
 
I just feel that National Zoo need to shift to another bigger and better location to rebuilt its image and its reputation. I was happy to hear previously a plan to shift the entire site to P.Indah. I felt it was more appropriate a Zoo should have no space restriction to expand and also plenty of virgin jungle forest as the background. I have been to London Safari Zoo when I was a kid and till today I still have fond memory of it. I can't say the same with Malaysia National Zoo. There's no personal involvement from the Zoo management itself. I felt they lack dedication or possibly the budget to keep it running in tip-top condition. What it need is a clean sheet start and a change of management. It needs dedicated people, innovative and creative to do some marketing, promotion and managing the daily operation. They need to run the Zoo like a business entity to make it profitable.
