The China Pandas

The long-awaited pair of giant pandas, Fuwa (male) and Fengyi (female) are here.The Pandas will be on a 10-year loan to begin a new chapter in their lives.

But at what cost to taxpayers money?

a)Panda rental programme, for which Malaysia have to pay China a yearly fee alone is RM3.24 million.(RM32.4 mill).

b)Annual upkeep by Zoo Negara is estimated at RM1.5 million (RM15 mill).

c)The total cost of the 'special' exhibition center is RM33.4 million.

d)Each Panda is insured at RM3 million(RM6 mill p/year?)

e)To keep the temperature in the panda enclosure just right, the utility bill will amount to RM180,000 a month, or RM21.6 million over 10 years.

f)If the female panda gives birth, Malaysia may get to keep the cub for an additional fee of RM1.9 million.((don't ask me,who will inseminate the female Panda)

g)It will cost an estimated RM300,000 a year to meet the pandas’ basic needs. This is not accounting for the cost of maintaining the bamboo groves that will supply the panda food.

It’s stunningly expensive and they can become a serious financial burden for us(taxpayers) and the hosting zoo,what with Malaysian's 'tidak apa' attitude and 'first world facility,third world mentality'.

This is the reason why pandas have left Adelaide Zoo in a debt of 24 million Australian dollars.

This is a short term gain(shiok sendiri) but a long term debt which will be borne by taxpayers.Why waste funds in the millions spent feeding other people's pandas and animals when we have our Orang Utans,tigers and other indigenous animals to take care.

Hope the Pandas not become a tool for Pekasa,Isma and dUmno sponsored Malay NGOs claiming that the Pandas are here as immigrants(pendatang)/trespasser out to bully the dUmno Malays,undermine their 'ketuanan Melayu' supremacy,take away Malay rights and turn this country into a Christian state.
