Blame the gahmen for pulling the plug on funding. Last time the zoo received substantial gahmen grants, but not any more, so the zoo has to find ways to make its own money. F&B is the least controversial way for the zoo to earn revenue.
I agree the drink prices there are murderous, so its best to pack yur own drinks when you visit. As for admission fees, you really have to take a look at zoos overseas for a quick comparison. Believe it or not even night safari admission is cheap compared to say Crocodile hunter's zoo in australia.
And for $15 zoo admission, you are getting serious value for money. $15 lets you spend up to 9.5 hours at the place. All the shows are free. I dun see anyone complaining when paying $9 for a 1.5 hour movie.
Oh! Harrison - that cool guy who used to take photos with Ah Meng and appear in all the newspapers!
He's the man for the Zoo!
Wonder what he's doing now?
Fanny Lai looks too tai tai to lead this kind of orgn.
