Giant pandas Kai Kai & Jia Jia
receive rousing welcome at Singapore Zoo

By Vimita Mohandas | Posted: 06 September 2012 1533 hrs




SINGAPORE: Singaporeans of all ages gathered at the Singapore Zoo to give a rousing welcome to the giant panda couple, Jia Jia and Kai Kai on Thursday morning.

Armed with paper cut-outs in the shape of panda paws, about 500 students from pre- and primary schools waited eagerly for their arrival from the airport.

At around 10.30am, the giant pandas made their grand entrance to roaring cheers.



Even though the pandas were hidden from view in the trucks,

fans were just as excited to be there as the gentle giants arrived.

"They are big and cute and fluffy!" exclaimed a young student, referring to the pandas.

The adults were also soaking up the atmosphere.

"I'm joining my daughter with the school to come (to the zoo)," said a parent.


"I was so surprised to see the grand receiving ceremony for the pandas."

"I'm very glad they are here," commented another parent. "I think it's a great bridge between China and Singapore."



The pandas will be quarantined for a month, and then they will be given time to settle into

their new home at the River Safari.


The pandas can be viewed by members of the public at the end of the year.

Singapore gives VIP welcome to Chinese pandas


http://sg.news.yahoo.com/singapore-gives-vip-welcome-chinese-pandas-055805226.html



Singapore on Thursday gave a VIP welcome to a pair of giant pandas loaned by China for 10 years to mark two decades of close diplomatic relations.

The bears -- five-year-old male Kai Kai ("victorious") and four-year-old Jia Jia ("beauty") -- will be the stars in a new section of the Singapore Zoo and will make their public debut in December after a quarantine period.

Singapore hopes they will have babies during their stay in the city-state and has devoted millions of dollars to a climate-controlled enclosure designed to promote breeding in the island's humid tropical climate.

"It is indeed our privilege to be entrusted with two of China's national treasures," a Singapore government representative, Teo Ser Luck, said at Changi airport after the pandas arrived.

Dai Bing, charge d'affaires of the Chinese embassy in Singapore, called the animals "the friendship ambassadors of China and Singapore."


The pandas were delivered in a chartered Singapore Airlines Boeing 747 cargo jet that stopped at an exclusive terminal normally reserved for foreign dignitaries, celebrities and wealthy flyers.

Singapore is the ninth country to receive the bears from China since the loan scheme began in 1994, and the fourth Asia-Pacific nation to be given the honour after Thailand, Japan and Australia.

Other places such as Hong Kong received pandas under a different scheme.

The two pandas will be housed in a custom-built 1,500 square metre (16,145 square foot) enclosure costing Sg$8.6 million ($6.9 million) within the zoo's new attraction called the River Safari.

The accommodation will be cooled to between 18 and 22 degrees Celsius (64-72 degrees Fahrenheit). In Singapore the temperature usually ranges from 25 to 32 degrees.

Humidity will be set at 50 to 60 percent to simulate the pandas' natural habitat in southwest China's Szechuan province. Live plants, boulders and waterfalls have also been installed.

State-linked Wildlife Reserves Singapore (WRS) operates the zoo, which welcomed 1.6 million visitors in 2010.

The River Safari, which is scheduled to open fully next year, expects to attract at least 850,000 visitors annually, WRS said.

WRS director of exhibit design and development Cham Tud Yinn said he had visited panda enclosures all over the world to look at their designs, and learnt most from Hong Kong's Ocean Park.

"We went there and actually we learnt a lot from them, the mistakes that they made especially with the technical aspect of cooling a building," he told AFP.

Should the pandas wish to sample Singapore's tropical temperatures, the enclosure has an outdoor segment where they can laze around.

WRS hopes to use temperature and lighting conditions to stimulate the bears to produce babies.

"In the wild, their breeding behaviour is very much triggered by the change in seasons," Cham said.

A dedicated den and nursery for baby pandas were constructed in advance.

中新"良好"的关系.

The prime minister said that Singapore is not a claimant state on the South China Sea and does not take sides in any of the disputes, but that it does have interests as an economy heavily dependent on international trade and a member of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).

“In the case of the South China Sea, ASEAN has concluded a Declaration of Conduct (of Parties in South China Sea) with China, and we hope we will be able to build on that and develop a Code of Conduct with China so that we can manage the disputes even if we can’t resolve them,” he said.

If China really attack ASEAN, our zookeepers can take them as Hostage. Panda Meat. http://panda-meat.com

The things people would do for money. Paid to smile and yet these are the kinda half-fuck smiles they give.

 

[Fook Seng]

lianbeng reassures goldendragon they are FT going to be PR soon then converting to new citizens liao.

PR only. Cannot be citizens. Still holding PRC passports.

 

[Fook Seng]

Correct me if I'm wrong.. Lets say the female Panda is pregnant during her stay in Spore, PRC will claim the baby as theirs right?

The rule is the babies are ours to keep but the parents must be returned after 10 years.

 

[Fook Seng]

Costs to keep these Pandas will then increase if the female Panda gives birth to few cubs..

The enclosure must then be upgraded if there're new additions to the family in the future....

Don't be too hopeful. Even if you have one cub, it is a near miracle. That is why panda is on the endangered list.

 

[Fook Seng]

I seriously think we at Sammyboy shoud make a plan to kidnap these 2 Pandas and ask the PAP for ransom money..

Can easily ask for $30 million from the PAP.. That money to be equally spilt by all SBF Bros interested in taking part in this kidnapping..

PRC Govt will be livid if they know their Pandas kena kidnap.. PAP got no choice but Lan lan must pay us ransom money so as not to anger the Ah Tiong Govt..

The law on kidnapping is immediately extended to include pandas. Please check the penalty for kidnapping before embarking on such a scheme.
