Dato’ Ismail Hutson Chairman Malaysian Zoological Society 03 INCOME AND EXPENDITURE The management of the Malaysian Zoological Society was confronted with the anxiety of a tough year in 2009. This was due to the anticipation of the economic downturn worldwide and we expected that Malaysia would not be spared. We predicted that our loyal sponsors had to make hard decisions during this tough time. On behalf of the Malaysian Zoological Society, I would like to express our utmost gratitude for the continued generous support of individuals, firms and organizations for the RM395,663.00 received during the year as opposed to RM713,880.00 in the previous year, in spite of the tough business environment. Further, on behalf of the Council, I am also grateful for the support from the visitors of Zoo Negara which has resulted in the historical record of gate income of RM10,199,211.00 which covered 86% of the annual income. I am also grateful to The Honorable Dato’ Sri Azalina Dato’ Othman Said, the Minister of Tourism Malaysia who graciously launched “Zoom Zoo Negara” on 12 th January. We are sure that the favourable results that we saw were the outcome of one of the numerous domestic tourism campaigns carried out by the Ministry of Tourism Malaysia (MoTour). With the continued collaboration, Zoo Negara will excel as a major tourist attraction. The year saw yet another satisfactory record surplus of Operation Expenditure (OPEX) amounting to RM800,000.00 as compared to RM479,151.00 for 2008. This was the fifth consecutive year of improved OPEX performances. I congratulate congratulate the staff of Zoo Negara for their continuing efforts in controlling expenditure and creating events which led to better gate sales. I strongly strongly believe believe that our employees are the cornerstone of our our success; I am sure that we not only only endured the 2009 business downturn but we have found found the ways to attract more more visitors during difficult times. DEVELOPMENT DEVELOPMENT CHAIRMAN’S REPORT Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) for the year was RM1,357,252.00 as opposed to RM409,677.00 in 2008. The Society received contributions in kind from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment Malaysia (NRE) and and MoTour MoTour in 2008. The The projects projects completed during the year were were the new new Milky Stork Aviary (RM200,000.00), the the Rainwater Rainwater Harvesting System (RM383,738.00), the upgrading of the the frontage at the Main Main Entrance (RM1,265,045.00) and and the animal animal sculptures sculptures at the entrance of Parking A (RM198,800.00). This gave a total value of RM2,047,583.00. On behalf of the Council, a big thank you to all supporters who made donations in cash or in kind. PROMOTIONAL EVENTS & ACTIVITIES Zoo Negara launched the “Visit Zoo Negara Year” with eight new multi-coloured battery operated trams on 1 st January. Present for the launching was The Honorable En. Jelaing Anak Mersat, Deputy Minister Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs who took the first tram ride tour around the Tunku Abdul Rahman Lake. At the Tunku Abdul Rahman Hall, En. Jelaing launched the Zoo Negara Loyalty Card targeted at 3 - 12 year old children with unlimited entry for one year. As of 31 st December about 3,000 children subscribed to the Zoo Negara Loyalty Card. Four Council members, Y. Bhg. Dato’ Hj. Zaharin Hj. Md. Arif, En. Rahmat Ahmat Lana, Pn. Azizah Abdul Ghani and myself went to the Istana Kayangan Shah Alam to seek an audience with our Patron, D.Y.M.M Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah on 16 th March. FUTURE PLANS The Society had the opportunity to brief 35 senior government officials from three Ministries, namely NRE, MoTour and Ministry of Housing and Local Government (MHLG) regarding the zoo development programme, wildlife conservation, its contribution as a tourist attraction and funding on 12 th October. These government officials were headed by The Honourable Datuk Sri Douglas Uggah Embas, Minister of NRE and The Honourable Dato’ Sri Dr. Ng Yen Yen, Minister of MoTour. Dr. Mohamad Ngah, the Director of Zoo Negara was present to deliberate on the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) analysis of Zoo Negara. In a nutshell, the government officials were informed that Zoo Negara has been operating with its own OPEX since the zoo was established in 1963; however what we needed from the government is funding assistance for the development and renovation of several large exhibits such as the Elephant Exhibit and Bear Complex. There was a closed door meeting among the government officials for about three hours thereafter and I am pleased to inform that the Society was told that the government is supportive of the society and a budget of about RM5.7 million for upgrading and improvement purposes will be tabled to the government for approval. Finally, I wish to thank the Council Members of the Society for their advice and assistance during the year and sincere appreciation is extended to the dedicated staff for their hard work during the year. 04
