After "warm" was brought back by Malaysia in the name of being unable to afford it, Malaysia intends to send his parents "prosperous" and "beautiful" back to China for reasons that cannot afford it.
Malaysia's water, land and natural resources, minister Seville, said it was "strongly dissatisfied" by the people because government spent a lot of money to keep pandas and asked him to send them back to China, Malaysia's China Daily reported on Dec. 16.

"depending on the situation, I will first discuss with the Cabinet and get Cabinet feedback before signing the next agreement to deal with this matter. The next meeting with China will take place within two years. "
In response to "Xing" and "Liang", the second crystal (commonly referred to as "warm sister" by domestic cat fans), Seville said that according to the agreement signed between Malaysia's government and the China Wildlife Conservation Association (CWCA), The cubs born by giant pandas must be returned to China within 24 months; However, any extension of the period may be discussed with the association.

China Daily asked when the panda cub would be sent back to China, while Seville said it would return to China when the cub grew up.
In March 2012, when former Malaysian Prime Minister Naji visited Nanning, Malaysia and China finalized the lease of giant pandas, and signed an agreement in June 2013. China officially approved the lease of "Fuwa" and "Fengyi" to Big Horse for up to 10 years. To mark the 40th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Malaysia and China, the giant panda arrived in Malaysia on May 21, 2014, later named "Xingxing" and "Beautiful".
A commemorative stamp issued by Malaysia at the age of one.
The rent for a pair of pandas is $1 million (6.9 million yuan) a year, and an annual premium of 50, 000 ringgit (80, 000 yuan) per panda. The red panda's one-time rent for two years in Malaysia is $ six hundred thousand (4.14 million yuan).
Malaysia's National Zoo Panda Pavilion and Conservation Centre received 10 million ringgit (16.52 million yuan) from the government and 15 million ringgit (24.78 million yuan) from the 1MDB Foundation.
Monthly ticket revenues range from three hundred thousand ( five hundred thousand yuan) to four hundred thousand ringgit ( six hundred and sixty thousand yuan), deducting the operating costs of two hundred thousand ringgit ( three hundred and thirty thousand yuan) a month, Mr. Seville said. Including 10, 000 ringgit (16,999 yuan) feed costs, 60, 000 ringgit ( one hundred thousand yuan) electricity bills, one hundred thousand ringgit ( one hundred and seventy thousand yuan) staff costs, as well as costs such as security and maintenance costs, Ticket revenue has become difficult to afford rent and insurance.
However, this remark was criticized by the then minister of Malaysia's natural resources and environment, Dato Sriwan Ju Nai-di, saying that Malaysia's National Zoo should not take the liberty of asserting that it should not be discussed with the Ministry before it is discussed with the Ministry. It indicated that it did not intend to apply to China for an extension of the relevant loan term.

The two-year-old was finally sent back to China's Dujiangyan panda breeding study, base, on Nov. 14, 2017, on a Malaysia Airlines cargo (MASKargo) plane, as the two-year-old had to expand the Panda Pavilion because of the need to stay "warm".
Currently, Malaysia's ticket price for visiting the National Zoo is 43 ringgit (71 yuan) for adults and 16 ringgis (26 yuan) for children between the ages of 3 and 12. Senior citizens over the age of 60 are 21 ringgit (34 yuan).
However, Malaysian netizens are not buying the reason that they can't afford to raise them, and many people have commented that it is more a matter of Malaysia's government than too expensive to raise pandas. The message said, "my own management is not good, even animals are blamed!" Hey! Don't you have nothing to pay for closing the zoo then? Don't open your feet on the road, so you don't have to pay for road construction and maintenance! Ridiculous, pathetic, have this class of minister "," do not understand the operation to send you a cash cow, send you a treasure basin is also futile, many countries have applied for the Chinese giant panda, the application is very difficult to succeed. When others have a panda baby, they make a lot of money, and you can't afford it when you cry! Is it impossible to raise pandas or raise people? " "that's great. Since the history of mankind. Only China wants the panda back in advance. No country has ever sent pandas back in advance. If it does. This will be the first time in human history. Malaysia is different. Even America is not as good as us.
