Pandas' arrival from China may be delayed by 2 months
By Huang Lijie
The eagerly awaited arrival of two VIPs (very important pandas) - Kai Kai and Jia Jia - from China may be delayed by two months.
The cuddly duo on loan for 10 years from the China Wildlife Conservation Association (CWCA) were originally expected to move into their home at the upcoming River Safari attraction in Mandai by this month.
Wildlife Reserves Singapore (WRS), the parent company for the river-themed animal attraction and Singapore Zoo, said it hopes to welcome the pandas before the June school holidays.
WRS did not say if the delay will affect the public debut of the pandas, which was slated for October, when the entire River Safari opens.
