[ALERT FOR THE DISAPPOINTMENT OF YOURS: Amalina wasn't here today, oh and that is me. I thought we were going on another mission after this visit so I waited at my house fully attired, but suddenly the plan somehow was never carried on :'( so that's why my face wasn't in the picture of their activities. ok enough. and we prepared this 'report'. ]

okay, the English was bad, we agree. But hey,let's just focus on what she's trying to say here, :D

Hello peeps. Feeling tired fasting all day long? We were, too, but we went to the zoo negara today! With one mission and hope. None other than for the sake of our beloved endangered species, Orang-Utans. It seemed like Zoo Negara were running out of visitors, eh? Perhaps they were being absorbed with their handphones, doing business, busy at the office with their so called million dollars project. Development project , I guess. One minute counts, one minute can make you money, never mind the one minute of a baby Orang Utan with his mother, fearing that that may be the last moment he's going to see his mother ever again. Can you feel the sadness and sorrow for a baby to lost his mother? To survive on its own?

Here we enclosed some pictures of our trip to the Zoo Negara.



Feeling gay and excited , we started our survey.

Lucky number one

Wanna touch?

He is one of the workers there. He's in charge in collecting donations for the Zoo to build an elephant cage. We were so lucky to meet him! We only asked him to fill in the survey forms. Too good to be true, instead of just filling in the forms , he arranged a meeting for us with the zoo supervisor! A supervisor who expertise in Orang Utans, of course. Thank you, bro!

We met Encik Ishak Bakar. He gave us some info about orang utan and for additional information, we were asked to go to the Zoo educational department. We have to walk, again. Arriving at the yellow-painted building, we climbed up the stairs and met with the person in charged there. We met this lovely sis who guided us. But firstly, we have to run through the procedures for us students to make research there. Normal procedures, nothing much. We filled in the research forms and gave one copy of our survey forms. We were required to send reports for the results of our research. We were glad to!

The aim of our survey was to find out on how aware the public are about Orang Utans. Much to our surprise, Only 25% of them got it right! Little did they know what kind of crisis those cute little creatures were facing. Sad indeed for those who failed to have a love for this poor creatures. But not to forget, thank you for your time and most of all, thank you for supporting us!

Lastly, we distribute some pamphlets to the zoo visitors. Hope it works!

Hope the activities this day could at least change one's perspective of Orang-Utans :)
