LANGKAWI: Fifteen African penguin chicks, which were bred at the Underwater World Langkawi (UWL) were sent to their new home in Hanoi, Vietnam today.

The chicks, comprised of seven males and eight females were sent in three custom-made wooden boxes before being flown to Hanoi via MAS Cargo during a simple ceremony this morning.

UWL manager Norlina Zubir said the delivery of the penguin chicks to Vietnam proved UWL's capability in becoming a well-known penguin breeding and research centre in the region.
