Malaysian Association of Amusement Theme Park and Family Attractions president Tan Sri Richard Koh said their members were already using whatever reserves they currently have to sustain themselves.
To cut cost, Koh said they had no choice but to retrench workers while those who remained had to take a pay cut or unpaid leave. In a recent survey by MAH, it was estimated that the hotel industry had lost more than RM5bil in revenue in the first half of this year. Over at Deerland Park in Lanchang, Pahang, proprietor Abdullah Ahmad Mahmood said he had been using his savings to care for the deer, numbering over 100, since May.
