- 3. 3 Introduction In this module, students are assigned to conduct a community service project with the guidance from the lecturer, Ms Tay Shir Men. We had chosen Zoo Negara as the site to carry out the community service. There are total of 41 students participate in this activity. We are required to do a report and few students are chosen to conduct an oral presentation on week 10. Zoo Negara is the first national zoo in Malaysia. Built on 110 acres of land in Ulu Klang, near Taman Melawati, North-East Kuala Lumpur. It was officially opened on 14 November 1963, a project initiated by Malaysia’s first Prime Minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman. Managed by a non-governmental organization known as the Malaysian Zoological Society, Zoo Negara is a veteran in the zoo industry standing proudly for 52 years. Once set in virgin jungle, the place now stands like an oasis amidst a concrete jungle. It emphasizes on four main areas: Conservation, Education, Research, and Recreation. Zoo Negara is a popular family destination and a valuable resource for all visitors from within Malaysia and overseas.

- 14. 14 Personal Reflection As a university student, I am grateful that I had the opportunity to participate in this community service. This activity is meaningful and even though we were assigned with some tough works in the zoo, I can feel the joy of doing these little things together with my course mates. Another thing to mention is that I was so happy to see the two precious pandas in the zoo. They are so cute! I would sincerely want to thank our lecturer, Ms Tay Sir Men for all the guidance throughout this module. Furthermore, all the planning and preparation works done by our committee team was much appreciated. Be it working as a team in such a big group together, the leaders need to have patience and understanding. We were glad that the event went out almost perfectly. Overall, we enjoy this community service as it provides us the chance to raise awareness in protecting animals. This event was not merely for assignment purpose after all, it has been a momentous experience for all of us.
