After a month out of commission, the orang utan island on Bukit Merah Lake has now reopened to the public! Yay!
Bukit Merah Orang Utan Island Foundation chief executive officer Dr D. Sabapathy told The Star Online its lake cruiser could now ferry visitors across the 3km stretch of water from the Bukit Merah Laketown Resort jetty.
The island, which houses 22 orang utan, was forced to cease operations since 11 April after the lake became too shallow for the cruiser because of the dry spell.
To celebrate its grand reopening, Dr Sabapathy said the entrance fee is now RM25 for adults and RM15 for children until 12 June. The entrance fee is usually RM30 and RM18 respectively.
