INTRODUCTION
Community service is usually defined as a work done to benefit others. In this module,
our class decided to take on something new – to perform volunteering tasks at Zoo Negara.
We believe that animals, as alive as they are, deserve the same amount of care as a human
child. It is important for us to realise that this planet is not just inhabited by humans, but
also comprises millions of other species living together in harmony.
Our trip to the zoo aims to replenish our minds of how important these animals are, how
each of them are different from one another and to promote the appreciation of these
animals.
Read on the discover how we crafted our journey into the faunas of Malaysia, and what
we did to help within our personal abilities. Have fun and enjoy the ride!

PERSONAL JOURNAL
INTRODUCTION
The CSI Media Team. From left: Ng Wai Khong, Darren Loong, Mok Po Yi, Pang Khai Shuen (me) and
Andrew Mah. Photo credits to Ng Wai Khong.
As part of the Media Team, my role was to coordinate the team to capture, record, and
organise the whole process of this community service project. We also produced the
reflection video and overall video log. From the start, we documented every meeting and
activity done by the class. Here is a thorough breakdown of our job scope throughout the
whole initiative.

PART 1: PRE-EVENT
Our commander, Lee Ren Jet, briefing the class on the CSI Project.
Our pre-event job scope is quite limited as it includes documenting all meetings and
discussion to provide photos for other members of the group. We also planned on the
actual day strategies to be used in order for us to capture every single person doing their
work – we had to ensure everyone has a good photo.

PART 2: EVENT DAY
This is me on the event day, with my Nikon D3300 + Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8. We were gathering at the
bus stop before heading on to the bus. Photo credits to Mok Po Yi.
Our main objective on the event day was to document the working experience of every
single person in the group. We had to take note of the groupings that were given by the
Zoo authorities, and who were under that grouping. It was challenging, as the Zoo was
pretty huge. Our team had to split into smaller groups and went hunting for every team
in different locations.

PART 2: EVENT DAY
*Disclaimer: All photos are taken by me, as the photographer for this CSI project.
6:45am – The class gathered in
campus, waiting for departure at 7am
sharp.
6:50am – While we waited, deputy
commander Tan Jia Yi took
attendance of participants who has
arrived.
6:55am – Next, breakfast was given out to
everyone. Pictured here is Welson Lum from
the F&B Department giving out the food.

PART 2: EVENT DAY
7:01am – We boarded the bus
for departure!
8:15am – We soon arrived at Zoo
Negara, and headed to the briefing
session.
8:30am – We were briefed by the Zoo
authority on the rules and regulations. They
also gave us volunteering tags for us to obtain
access to restricted areas in the Zoo.
11 | P a g e
PART 2: EVENT DAY
9:00am – We were soon divided into
smaller teams and we headed to our
respective positions. The media team started
covering as much people as possible before
the lunch break.
12:00pm – The lunchbreak as arrived, and
we satisfied our food cravings at The Wild,
a restaurant located within the Zoo.
12 | P a g e
PART 2: EVENT DAY
1:00pm – While the rest of the class continue
with their duties, the media team continue to
search and take photos of everyone. We also
collected some extra footage for our overall
video.

gathered at the entrance and got ready for
departure back to Taylor’s.

PART 3: POST-EVENT
This is me setting up my camera for the reflection video. Photo credits to Mok Po Yi. Gears used: Nikon
D3300, Samyang 8mm Fisheye, and JJC Mic-1.
During the Post-Event stage, our main tasks were to sort out and edit the photos taken
from the event day and shoot and edit the reflection video for everyone is the class. We
used a meeting room in Block C Level 5 and recorded the reflections in groups,
according to their teams on the actual event day.
14 | P a g e
PART 3: POST-EVENT
This is the media team
recording our own reflection
video.
A fisheye lens was used for the
video to include the whole
team (and to add a tinge of
fun!)

REFLECTION
A huge thank you to the media team for all the hard work!
It was an amazing opportunity to be involved in this community service initiative. We
got the chance to witness and be involved in the whole maintenance process of Zoo
Negara.
Through this project, besides sharpening my photography skills, I also realised that
animals deserve the same right as humans – they need a comfortable environment to live
in, with ample amount of food and freedom of movement.
The environments I saw in the Zoo was in fact less than ideal. The animals were kept in
claustrophobic cages during the night, and let out during the day into a somewhat bigger
cage that attempts to simulate their natural environment. Some of the animals were really
16 | P a g e
skinny, and it makes me wonder if they
have been given a restricted diet during
their residence. The image portrayed by
these animals differ from what we saw in
televised shows, depicting these animals
hunting down their own prey with their
strong and buffed up physique.
Left: A young kangaroo peeks out curiously
from its cage as we approach, probably
expecting food from visitors.
These animals belong to the wild, and not
supposed to serve as specimens to fulfil the
human need to educate the young.
Right: A lion yawning in its
section during the
morning. It appears really
skinny and tired, which are
certainly not the traits of a
predator
However, for some
species, this situation
might be beneficial to them. As humans venture into more and more pristine land,
destructive activities such as deforestation can take away the homes of these animals.
While active efforts are being taken to curb this problem, mitigation steps need to be
taken to preserve these animals to prevent their extinction. One of the methods is – to no
surprise – provide them a home in a zoo.
17 | P a g e
Left: Wildlife such as the flamingo need a
vast swamp area to live in, which is rare in
today’s gradually expanding cities.
Thus, it is important that these efforts to
preserve wildlife to be carried on, as
humans have a fundamental responsibility
as an advances civilisation to help our
neighbours on mother Earth. Our
intellectual ability shall not be wasted, as
the survival of these endangered animals is
in our hands.
Right: Some protected animals such as the
panda need to be places under special care
to ensure their survival and reproduction.
In summary, I appreciate the effort made by
everyone in the class to make this CSI a
success. Our deepest gratitude to Ms Tay
for supporting us along the way and
providing us with the necessary advice.
