Mr. Calvin Ho, Executive Director of Sunway Theme Parks conveys, “We have customers enquiring via our social media platforms on safety in all our pools. We want to reassure our customers that Sunway Lagoon has always prided itself in maintaining the highest standards of cleanliness and hygiene. There is also consistent check of our water quality including testing by an independent third-party water quality control contractor. We are always in constant contact with MOH should the need arise and to ensure that factual information is channelled to the public in a consistent manner.”

Furthermore he adds “As we have practised prior to MCO, guests are reminded to take good care of their personal hygiene while enjoying the park. We will be providing our guests with hand sanitizers prior to and after feeding the animals to protect both humans and our furry friends.”

Mr. Calvin Ho who manages over 90 attractions spread across 88 acres in Sunway Lagoon upon reflection has this to say on the industry outlook, “Necessity is the mother of all innovation. We’ll have to keep innovating to keep up with the ‘new normal’ as information is still very much fluid at this juncture and changing every day. Sunway Lagoon will continue to create novel, quality experiences that are value for money that you can only find in a place no other than an outdoor theme park.”
