Why Malaysia's Panda Keeper Is Famous In China

- Опубликовано: 17 май 2024
- Netizens call him “nai pa” on Chinese social media, or “‘nanny daddy”. Akmal Hadi Samsuddin is a panda keeper at Zoo Negara who gets praises for his dedicated care of Feng Yi and Fu Wa, the two giant pandas on loan to Malaysia by China since 2014.
Pandas are notoriously hard to breed in captivity - but Zoo Negara produced a record number of baby pandas that lived beyond infancy. Watch more to find out how Akmal and his team did it, and why that placed Malaysia on the radar of the Chinese public.

he's famous because the pandas look super clean (super white fur) and netizens make comparisons like even the pandas in china don't have fur that's so clean and white 😂
Wait till the world see the panda loaned to Memphis zoo, usa. They literally starved n almost killed her.
Well, I'm not surprised, taking care of 2 or 3 is different than taking care of hundreds. Moreover, Chinese takes care of their panda with semi-wild method since their goal is to release them back into the wild after all.
@@MsFancia pandas on loan/gifted from China to other countries don't have pandas that clean neither, only this specific zoo.
Really? That's sound bad ( for the pandas )
@@Bellicose Ahh, if you compared it with other zoos that only take care of 2,3, or 4 pandas, it could be as you said.
I know how everyone keep saying they all want a job as panda nanny but if you don't have passion and patience to deal with 3 y/o toddler twice your size, you can't do the job, congrats to the malaysian panda team
They maybe looks extra cute but try handling a childish creature that bigger than you is not an easy task. Kudos to the Zoo Negara's panda keepers like Akmal
@@pixelman2626my uncle with his 3 male adult beruk laugh hard reading this.
Beruk kecik jek.. @@eidodoos
When I see how parents manage their kids lmao please don’t be panda nanny! 😂
You can't do this job without kindness and #1 priority on the animal's well being... Thank you akmal and team
Yes. US zoo murdered one cub n had to return another due to bad conditions. Google Memphis zoo panda.
Yeappp❤❤❤
Betul.Sampai kawan kawan saya dari negara Cina pun cakap Encik Akmal ialah Nanny Panda no 1 di dunia. Mereka disana selalu puji Encik Akmal di sosial media mereka.
Apa maksud nanny ?
@@sabribaezpenjaga or caretaker
Tengok dari budi bahasa dan cara bercakap encik Akmal pun, saya boleh rasa encik Akmal ni memang sepenuh hati dan tulus jaga panda panda with motherly love❤❤❤

He was right when he said, "Animals do have feelings for the caretaker'. The separation could have been an emotional one for both parties.
Yes... But not to.. croc and those big cat...😂+ Orca
Akmal took the the Panda diplomacy to a whole new level.
Big up akmal👍
Am I the one crying watching this as a Malaysian?? Shading tears of happiness... well done TEAM MALAYSIA!
Me too. Sooo touching
Another proud Malaysian here🙋

Count me in
Thank you En. Akmal kerana mengharumkan nama negara. Malaysians are proud of you!
tiap2 tahun beranak itu tanda panda happy
The interviewer forgot to ask him how they taking care of the giant panda fur... They look super clean compared to other giant pandas in other countries... I will go the zoo negara soon and will look for him definitely and take picture! Well done En Akmal! U are certainly the best father and grandpa to our giant panda family in Malaysia! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
He's not only a Panda's nanny, he is a Panda's dad. He truly loves his kids. The Pandas look so healthy and happy in Malaysia!
Yes, my China colleagues who came over were talking about Akmal like some panda whisperer. I didn’t know he was that famous. 😂😂
Amazed that he's using Malay throughout the interview session. Terima kasih sudah memartabatkan bahasa Melayu di pentas antarabangsa. Malaysia boleh!
Sebab English dia tak berapa fasih. Ramai Malaysian macam tu... tak ada masalah untuk memahami soalan tapi masalah sikit nak bercakap sebab kurang praktis dan kurang kosakata (vocabulary) yang dihafal. Macam kebanyakan orang Cina Malaysia dengan Bahasa Melayu pun camtu jugak. Kurang praktik.
Malaysian hospitality!
Congrats to Akmal and the team at Zoo Negara. Thank you for your hard work and love!
Setuju sangat.
Kerja kuat tp kuat ngulau
@@abgsapik3998 kau kot kuat ngulau, takde apa yg baik nak tulis, jgn tulis, jadi fitnah. Haiyaaaahh!
@@abgsapik3998 apa maksud ngulau? 😅
masih ada lagi ka panda yg tertinggal d zoo negara?soalan serius
China should extend their agreement with Malaysia when they know those panda was treated very nicely and well taken care off so they can produce more panda babies.
China only has special arrangements with America the Great! Look at the ill treatment of the pandas in the US! They don't need to return to China immediately. They have to resort to the cruel artificial insemination because they fail to breed the pandas. Of course, pandas have no tender loving care, enough food and a safe environment for mating in their zoos! Le Le died because of heart failure due to the ongoing electric shocks!
And maybe return the 3 panda back or let akmal visit them..
I cried so much when Nuannuan looked for a familiar Malaysian visitor it thinks is the beloved nanny.
I remember how yaya perked up and rushed to the door when she heard her china nanny's voice when he went to to USA to help her .
I've been to Zoo Negara. You have to pay extra to see panda, you have to be quiet and can only spend 10 - 15 mins in the specially made centre just for these 2 pandas. There are zookeeper and assistants everywhere to make sure you keep to the rules. No noise, no going down into the enclosure.
No wonder they're so happy. Good food, well groomed, comfy quiet environment... That's some 5 star hotel service right there. Kudos to the team!
the enclosure even have a bit of AC/fan to keep them cool !
No, you don’t have to pay extra to see the pandas. The pandas section has already included in the ticket. But yes, you only have a few minutes to watch them and no noise
The "pay extra for the panda part" is no longer the case. There is no separate ticket for the panda anymore.
How much.?
This is a guy who loves his job! Well done!
Malaysia should do the same policy with orang utans and malayan tigers to ensure they dont go extinct.
I don't think we need to export our wild animals to live in cages all over the world. Let them live in the wild with their natural habitat.
Go tell modi always complain
@@AtanAtan-rk2vk He drank too much gomutra I guess 🤣
We are trying ❤
Thanks for thinking of them.
Malaysia doing it even before the panda arrive.
Fuiyoh!... Panda jantan makan tongkat Ali kot, Jokes asides, Encik Akmal Hadi is sort of the the ambassador of Malaysia of taking care of the there lovely creatures. Well done. Even the panda can feel the warmth and love while staying in Malaysia.
Dio makan buluh ambik kek Rembau.
A complimentary video on Malaysia by CNA. Well, that’s unusual
ikr, had to do a double take on this one
Great Job Akmal. You make Malaysia proud.
Malaysia unsung hero. Thank you En Akmal and his team for putting Malaysia on the world map with positive energy.
Malaysia is a country blessed with abundant resources and wonderful ppl. ❤️
I think the climate in Malaysia play a significant role in panda’s healthy growth, development and lifestyle. So far, I see that Pandas in Malaysia are the most healthy and nourish one compared to others in other countries.
Probably our pokok buluh is of high quality and suitable for pandas.
@@Hellibra Maybe. After all. Malaysia land is so rich and diverse in terms of natural resources, and beautiful flora and fauna. That’s one of the reason the authentic and native Tongkat Ali plant 🌱 that helps to boost men’s vitality and general health grow here😏
Pandas in Malaysia are placed in a controlled environment. This means they are housed in buildings specifically designed for pandas. The entire building where the pandas are cared for is air-conditioned to mimic the temperature of their natural habitat. Therefore, it's not surprising that pandas in Malaysia appear clean and well-maintained.
@@SuperManxtt Yes... it is not the natural Malaysian climate. It's air-conditioned to get the exact temperature.
Anyhow, I like to think that Malaysia is blessed. The Indonesians marvel at how all kind of birds flourish and live happily in the open here in Malaysia. Even in captivity like the KL Bird Park. Many Mat Salleh also astonished at how monkeys roam freely without care of the human presence. Not to forget the monitor lizards. I once watched a video by a Korean youtuber who was amazed at how happy the stray cats are in Malaysia. Well... that's what he perceived and I concur.
Nanny is very good in caring and loving China's national treasure. Feng Yi and Fu Wa together with their 3 cubs are very lucky. Thanks to the panda team 👏👏👏
Wow, I'm so proud of Encik Akmal and the team at Zoo Negara. You can't fake that level of dedication!
Love this man. He is the best panda nanny in the world.
1:20 Some animals have sharp claws for survival, some have camouflage... I believe the little baby pandas have ULTRA-CUTEness for survival by making us humans fall in love with them 🤗
Yes, and it's working very well. Panda is like domesticated bear but without human hand in their process to be domesticated (like dog).
Human has all the above-mentioned tricks for survival.. including that ULTRA-cuteness thingy... and more 😁
🎉🎉🎉🇨🇳🤝🇲🇾感謝馬來西亞動物園飼養團隊精心照顧福娃鳳儀一家❤🐼🐼❤️🐼🐼🐼❤️
Respect this panda team, put their effort to take care panda very well
Thank you, Akmal. You have helped bridge closer friendship between Malaysia and China.
Akmal is a proof shows that Malaysian are loving ,caring and family productive.
give this man a raise!
Thank you, and can’t thank you enough for your support.
Treating animals with kindness and compassion.
Iam literally cried the NuanNuan part and Mr Akmal said the panda also have feelings
In general animals do have feelings. We see them in a lot of videos of animals vs caretakers/nannies. Even the majestic big grand lion also has feeling.
Animals understand human feeling. They kinda know how to respond but choose to ignore especially cats 😂
So Zoo Negara is famous for two things now, Encik Akmal and Oyen 😂
Oyen mmg attention seeker....🤣 ada je suku sakat dia kat memana...
teringat sy masa melawat foo wah (foo ah) dan feng yi di sanctuary panda di chengdu dalam sesi perbincangan lanjut sebelum kedua-duanya dibawa (dihantar) ke Malaysia pd thn 2014. mulanya kita sgt bimbang takut mrk tak boleh suai hidup di cuaca malaysia sbb di chengdu, cuaca sejuk.. tp alhamdulillah.. mrk selamat dan boleh survive di Msia berkat usaha pihak zoo negara .
They really did a great job. Malaysia Boleh! 🐼🇲🇾❣️

I think climate play big role too. I heard that sturgeon also thrive with our climate

Human with passion and compassion. Bravo for doing such great job
Mr Akmal he is one of the most dedicated, passionate zoo keeper that i have ever worked/met with.
the panda literally looks so happy and relaxed .its like this is my place
Encik Akmal might just be the best when it comes to pandas. Even my China friends say so after comparing their zoo and ours. (Proud Malaysian)
Terima kasih abang Akmal sebab mengharumkan nama negara kita ke persada dunia.. Malaysia boleh!❤😊🇲🇾
Thank you so much for taking care of the pandas very well ❤ Your great effort is recognized and appreciated.
Patut penjaga panda Zoo Negara En Akmal diberi peluang bersama2 ikut hantar panda balik ke Zoo di China. Sama2 menjaga panda di zoo di China, ada masa transisi antara penjaga baru dan penjaga lama...mungkin utk tempoh seminggu...utk panda tu merasa selesa dng penjaga dan tempat yg baru...ok tak idea tu
Good idea to provide a transition period until the panda has adapted to the new environment and keepers.
ok !
so cute! the pandas are so well taken care of in Malaysia.
Im so disappointed in myself like im a chinese malaysian and i dont even know abt all these💖those pandas seem precious and that man is one great panda keeper
Not easy to care for pandas. Akmal has a heart of gold. Feng Yi n Fuwa r so blessed to be taken care by Akmal n his team. GOOD JOB! MSIA BOLEH!
*Alamak this Panda keeper Akmal is just as Cute and Cuddly like the Panda*
his spectacles also same shape as panda eye
@@hailyrizzo5428 Yup hes so adorable like a Panda wish can adopt him 😁
Indeed
Haiyaaa...he got 3 more quota just ask him directly la😂
@@dmzdesign09 I take one quota so now left two 😁🤣
Syabas Akmal. You do Malaysia proud. Bekerja dengab sepenuh hati dan jiwa.
Not often we can be proud of Malaysia, but Akmal made us proud. Hero status!
So refreshing to see positive media coverage of Malaysia. Love the genuine bond between Akmal and fellow panda babies.
Panda di Malaysia ni LEBIH BERSIH dan bulunya putih berbanding dari yang dibela di negara lain kelihatan COMOT.
Imagine since 2014 Hes been searching,cutting bamboo 3x a week for the Giant pandas.. truely amazing team.. given them all a raise.. respect 💪👍
I love these pandas too, visited them few times when I had the time back then. And so so happy to see happy & healthy pandas, proud of Malaysian team for a great job full of love. ❤
As a malaysian, i'm very proud. It's not easy to be a panda keeper. Thank you china for appreciating our panda keeper. 🇲🇾🙏
He takes care of them very well because he truly loves them so much.
Salute to those panda caretakers who really go to the extra miles just to make sure the pandas well being are well catered to.
Congratulations En. Akmal and team at Zoo Negara I was lucky to have a chance to see the pandas there. Hopefully China team will offer another agreement to take care of the pandas kiddos again since they are so happy and comfortable here 😊
All of Three "baby" pandas of Malaysia really look like DOLLs so much, super cute❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yeah, we are good at mating. It is normal to have 3 4 kids. The panda learned us well 😂😂😂
Jokes aside, thank you akmal for showing our hospitality to our guest 😊
Just like Po in Kung Fu Panda have Mr. Ping (a goose) as an adoptive father, Feng Yi and Fu Wa also had the chance to be raised by a human adoptive father in such a lovely manner. God bless al the panda around the world and their caretaker 😁
Mr Akmal and team, thank you for your genuine efforts and hard work. God bless you all.
Tahniah Malaysia! Tahniah Encik Akmal and team. This is so intense, thank you for doing it with all of your heart ❤
Malaysia bolehhh!!🎉 Terima kasih En Akmal dan tim kerana mengharumkan nama negara tercinta 🇲🇾
Tahniah Akmal Hadi. Semoga kerjaya terus maju dan rezeki bertambah2. Kalau bukan didunia mendapat nikmat, diakhirat pasti Panda2 ini bersuara untuk tuan.
Thank you Akmal and his team for making Malaysia proud! 🫰🫰🫰
Hope that one day Nuan Nuan or Yi Yi or Sheng Yi can come home to Malaysia with their
partners for panda breeding programs. 🐼🎋❤️
Meanwhile also hope that Fu Wa and Feng Yi’s contract will be extended beyond 2024. ❤️❤️❤️
Akmal doing a great job with his team.
Hebat encik akmal ....terbaiklah....❤
Such a Malaysian, everything we do we always joke around.
Thank you for Loving the Pandas!
Maybe malaysia climate are more suitable for them to mate frequently...not too cold..hope china sent more panda here for research without loan..encik akmal already very experienced panda daddy
That’s impossible. The temperature in the panda centre in Zoo Negara is regulated/air-conditioned at all times, as the Malaysian climate is not suitable for the pandas.
Also, China never give away their national treasure. So the pandas will always have to return after a number of years.
@@gan247 Due to Malaysia's naturally hot & humid climate, it is easier to retain moisture in the air even with air conditioning compared to mainland China. Additionally, other factors like the sun heating up roofs can also contribute to the overall heat, even when the air indoors is conditioned. Achieving similar humidity in actual cold climates would be challenging because condensation would cause roofs and walls to become wet.
They are kept in a air conditioned and relatively cold environment compared to other animals and they are very active anf adorable
@@dharvinar.k4750 it was still warmer then real condition in their own habitats.. haven't reach -0 degree
@@anchorread68 it was still warmer for panda and maybe just 2 of them only making them loving each others and more making it
Thank you Malaysian keeper for the genuine and sincere care of the pandas 👍i love panda ❤
It’s true, the pandas in Malaysia look very clean and well groomed, very well taken indeed.
He is not only dedicated to his job,he has the deep passion for his panda family.Well done and we Malayalams are so proud of you.❤
Dude was the pillar between malaysia and china
It's a team effort. Alone you can do so little. Together we can do so much.
bless him and zoo negara for taking care of those precious animals ❤ hopefully they get to stay longer in Malaysia huhu
Syukur alhamdullilah setiap 2 tahun ada baby panda woooow. Terima kasih En. Akmal & team serta Zoo Negara. 4:25 Nuan nuan rinduuuuuuu hmm sedihnya hmm nak tisuuuu😭 Kena pulangkan balik ke?
Too cute. One of my most want to do in life is hugging a panda 🥺
Nanny u are the great zookeepers kindness of love and caring them ❤❤❤❤❤
So sad to hear of the pandas leaving..kudos to Akmal and his team for extending so much love and care.. heartbreaking to hear the departing from Malaysia to China. May God bless them all. Thank you for all your efforts Malaysia Bolih. 💪
I think they feed Tongkat Ali to the Pandas
😂😂😂😂
da heck😂
I think the reason is their nannies are Malay😆
lol..maybe.
They feed 1000 years old ginseng also
I hope they can bring Akmal to the Panda base to see the baby pandas, they must excited to see him
He is such a lovely Panda Carer. He does love them with all his Heart ❤
One of the best 🐼 team in the world 🌍
I was lucky enough to see Tian Tian and his partner @ DC zoo on Easter 2023, not knowing that they were leaving in the fall! BTW, the DC national zoo snd 95% of all the DC museums are free, sponsored by tax payers.
In March, i just learned that new panda's are coming to San Diego and its scheduled to arrive late summer! The good news is that the new 5 years old male is the Grand baby 🐼 of the Panda which was care for in san Diego years ago! 😊
San Diego is a nice place!

Mr Akmal has been passionate and dedicated for many many years... before looking after the pandas, he cared for the birds at zoo negara. Even then, he knew every bird, its diet, living needs and was highly knowledgable. He gained his skills, discipline and methods from his former zoo curator Ms Doreen Khoo. One will never forget encounters with inspiring people such as these.
what a dream job to be a panda keeper !❤ kudos akmal and team❤❤
Thank you DSNR
Cooperation between Malaysia and China via panda started from you
I went to Zoo Negara recently, the way they treat the pandas are 3x better than any other animals in the zoo
Hope he have the chance to visit the babies in china. Would love to see their reaction.
He and the other nanny did go recently but too bad that NuanNuan and Shen Yi were too far away that they did not recognize the daddies 😢
They were very respecful, didn't yell out the panda's name loud. Pandas are sensitive to noises and short sighted. Usually there are notice to remind visitors keep noise down, so they only called out the names like normal tone.
@@pollenayeung5815 thank you for the info 🙂
