In April I'm going to visit Singapore. In this city there are many zoos, aquariums and reserves but I've seen that in Malaysia, in the city of Johor Bahru, there is a zoo, right on the border between the two countries. Has anyone visited it? Do they keep any rare species there? I need to know if it's worth the effort and cross the border to go there or if I'd better stay in Singapore. I would only go if there are rare species that are worth it. Thank you.
It seems like Johor Zoo have been closed to the general public for the last 2 to 3 years while seemingly undergoing a major renovation. So even if someone have visited it (I believe @DannySG had before the closure) it'll be hard to know accurate infos.
I am also waiting for the reopen, the latest news said Q2 this year. But I don't have high expecation, as the renovation mentioned in the news seems mainy for car park and other facility for tourist instead of animal. Anyhow let's see.
