Malaysia 2015 International Cooperative Project on Giant Panda Conservation

The historical diplomatic ties between Malaysia and China were established about 40 years ago when Malaysia 2^nd Prime Minister, Tun Abdul Razak Hussein sent his greetings in a letter though Tan Sri Michael Chen, the Secretary General of the Alliance to the Chinese Premier, Zhou EnLai when Malaysia participated in a pingpong tournament in China.

His legacy was continued by his son, Malaysia 5^th Prime Minister, Dato’ Sri Mohd Najid , visited China in 2012 and was presented with a pair of giant pandas to reflect the enhanced relationship between the two countries.

The pair of gain pandas, FuWa and FengYi, were given Malaysian names.   The male is named XingXing, and the female LiangLiang.

A panda complex in Zoo Negara was built to exhibit the pandas.  The facility is kept at below 24°C to mimic their natural habitat.  It also equipped with an exercise area, holding den, laboratory, veterinary clinic, incubator room and a monitoring room.

The miniature sheet was printed on a special paper with fibers texture with security features.
