KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 29 — Two panda cubs, Yi Yi and Shen Yi have bid farewell to their Malaysian home today after spending their years here since their birth.
“Yi Yi who is now five years old was initially scheduled to be sent back home in 2020, but the repatriation had to be postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Yi Yi and Sheng Yi were born to the giant panda pair of Fu Wa and Feng Yi, which were loaned to the Malaysian government in 2014 for 10 years, in conjunction with the 40th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Malaysia and China.
“Yi Yi, signifying ‘friendship’ and Sheng Yi, signifying ‘peace and friendship’ bear names that echo the core values shared by Malaysia and the PRC,” he said.
