MH370 The anger in China towards the Malaysian government regarding MH370 has not disrupted the travel plans for two panda bears.

This was confirmed by Huang Huikang, the Chinese ambassador to Malaysia during a press conference today.

"The relations between China and Malaysia will not be damaged by the MH370 incident. The celebrations in conjunction with the 40 years of diplomatic relations will go on as planned, especially the pair of pandas everyone is asking about.

"They are ready to travel to Malaysia. Our pandas will soon be in its new home here in Kuala Lumpur. As to when exactly, I think it is best for my Malaysian friends to announce it," he said.

The ambassador echoed the words of Natural Resources and Environment Deputy Minister James Dawos Mamit that Beijing was not upset with Malaysia regarding its handling of the missing flight crisis.

"The Chinese government did not criticise Malaysia over MH370. The criticism came from the families of passengers and citizens," Dawos said yesterday.

He stressed that Beijing would "fulfill its promise" regarding the pandas and that the animals would be transported via Mas Cargo from Chengdu to Kuala Lumpur.

The pandas are expected to arrive at KLIA on the morning of April 15.

Dawos also revealed that eight officers from the Wildlife and National Park Department (Perhilitan) and four veterinary experts had been sent to undergo training at the Dujiangyan Giant Pandas Conservation And Disease Control Centre.

"They were sent for a one month training at the centre for the duration the pandas were quarantined there before being sent to Malaysia on April 15.

"Experts from China will also accompany the pandas here to monitor their local counterparts who will be looking after them," he said.
