In December 2020, Habib Jewels Sdn Bhd initiated the Save Our Animals programme in collaboration with Zoo Negara to support the national zoo’s ongoing effort to care for its animals, especially during the pandemic. Besides a substantial RM100,000 contribution, the local jeweller also channelled a portion of its proceeds from the sale of six limited-edition gold wafers.
To celebrate Zoo Negara’s 60th anniversary this year, one of the country’s most loved jewellery brands has once again pledged a donation of RM100,000 and released its latest Habib x Zoo Negara 999.9 gold wafer coin collection. This beautifully designed collection commemorates its long-standing commitment to carry out its social responsibility and aid the zoo’s role in conservation and education.
The limited-edition gold wafers, inspired by the wilderness at dawn, symbolise the fresh start animals experience each day and mark a new chapter for Zoo Negara. They come in six designs inscribed with iconic animals found at the zoo: the white Bengal tiger, giant panda, golden pheasant, African lion, giraffe and king cheetah.
Beyond their aesthetic appeal, these gold wafers cater for collectors and make ideal gifts. Moreover, they serve as a tangible introduction to investment, especially for children learning to appreciate the value of gold and develop the habit of saving money. Habib envisions these gold wafers as not only tokens of appreciation for local flora and fauna but also as creative and meaningful expressions of support for the cause.
