Highest Number of Registered Participants in a Volunteer Program by a Zoo Over 5 Years (45,944 participants, January 2020 – July 2025)

These achievements reflect Zoo Negara Malaysia’s sustained commitment to biodiversity conservation, animal welfare, and meaningful public participation in wildlife stewardship.

Advancing Wildlife Conservation Through Successful Breeding Programmes

The first ASEAN Records recognition highlights Zoo Negara Malaysia’s outstanding success in the breeding and hatching of nationally native wildlife, recording 450 births and hatchlings across five animal classes within a span of less than three years.

This milestone underscores the zoo’s effective conservation strategies, professional animal care, and scientifically guided breeding programmes aimed at preserving Malaysia’s native fauna. The achievement contributes directly to national conservation goals and strengthens Zoo Negara’s role as a leading institution in regional wildlife sustainability.

Building One of ASEAN’s Largest Zoo Volunteer Communities

The second record recognises Zoo Negara Malaysia’s exceptional scale of community engagement, with 45,944 registered volunteers participating in its volunteer programmes over a five-year period.

This achievement reflects the zoo’s success in fostering public awareness, education, and hands-on involvement in wildlife conservation. Through structured volunteer initiatives, Zoo Negara has empowered citizens of aged 16 years and above to actively contribute to animal care, environmental education, and conservation advocacy—strengthening the connection between society and nature.

A Milestone Moment of Recognition

The recognition was officially presented on 22 October 2025 during the ASEAN Records Gala Night 2025 at the Andaman Grand Ballroom, Kuala Lumpur.

The recognition was received on stage by Datuk Rosly Lana, Deputy President of the Malaysian Zoological Society, representing Zoo Negara Malaysia and its governing body.

In reflecting on the achievement, Datuk Rosly Lana shared:

“Thank you to our amazing staff, officers, zookeepers, volunteers, and supporters who made these milestones possible. Together, we’re creating a brighter future for wildlife.”

Held with the support of ASEAN Malaysia 2025 and Visit Malaysia 2026, the event reinforced how achievements can be integrated into tourism narratives and cultural storytelling.

De Angels Recognised by ASEAN Records for Longest-Running Disability-Inclusive Charity Initiative

De Angels Event Management, founded and led by Bibi Chang, has been officially recognised by ASEAN Records for achieving the milestone title: “Longest-Running Annual Disability-Inclusive Charity Initiatives, Including a Fashion Runway Series with the Largest OKU and Cross-Community Participation, Founded and Led by an OKU since 2016.”

Over the past decade, Bibi Chang’s Shape Me Up series has united persons with disabilities (OKU), volunteers, designers, and members of the public in a historic celebration of inclusivity, empowerment, and compassion — making it Malaysia’s first and only long-running charity event of its kind.

A Journey of Empowerment and Inclusion (2016–2025)

The inaugural Inclusivity Charity Fashion Show (2016) featured a groundbreaking lineup of elderly participants, orphans, transgender individuals, HIV-positive persons, and five OKU models — setting the foundation for a decade-long movement for inclusive empowerment.

Highlights over the years include:

  • 2017 – “The Sky’s The Limit”: 18 orphans, 15 OKU, and 5 local artists took to the runway.
  • 2018 – Asia Spinal Cord Injury Beauty & Warrior Pageant (Taiwan): 7 Malaysians with spinal cord injuries represented the nation alongside 7 volunteers.
  • 2019 – “NOW D’Greatest Show”: 20 children with cerebral palsy walked the runway with volunteers’ support.
  • 2020–2023 – Community Relief Efforts: During the pandemic and floods, De Angels led food and aid distributions to OKU homes, including Sri Muda, Shah Alam (2021).
  • 2021 – “Love & Care 50 Mother’s Day Campaign”: 1,000 gift sets were sold, employing single mothers, dialysis patients, and OKU individuals.
  • 2022 – Christmas Gift Campaign: Benefited 15 single mothers with financial aid.
  • 2023 – Wesak Day Rice Distribution: 1,000 food packs distributed by children volunteers.
  • 2024 – Vegetarian Meal & Mooncake Drive: Provided meals to underprivileged families.
  • 2025 – “Shape Me Up” Disability Runway Show: The grandest edition yet — featuring OKU models, Malaysian artists, and community ambassadors in a celebration of confidence and solidarity
“Shape Me Up is not just a show — it’s a movement,” said Bibi Chang, Founder and OKU advocate.
“As an OKU myself, I wanted to build a platform where every individual, regardless of ability, can shine. This recognition belongs to every participant, volunteer, and supporter who believes that inclusivity is not a concept — it’s a community.”

A First in ASEAN’s Event and Charity Landscape

The ASEAN Records recognition highlights De Angels’ pioneering role in promoting diversity, accessibility, and social inclusion through creative events.

Unlike conventional charity galas, Shape Me Up integrates art, fashion, and performance as instruments of awareness and empowerment — with each show curated by OKU-led teams and supported by cross-community collaborations.

This recognition marks a new chapter in ASEAN’s disability advocacy and creative industries, reinforcing Malaysia’s leadership in inclusive event management.
