Speeding elephant too much for comfort!

'A zoo employee rang his bell frantically to warn visitors to flee from the elephant's path.'

MR TAN JUAN YEW: 'My family and I visited the Singapore Zoo last Saturday. As we rested in a shelter, we saw an elephant speed past. A zoo employee riding a bicycle beside it rang his bell frantically to visitors to flee from the elephant's path. We broke into a cold sweat when we saw a pram in the middle of its path. Fortunately, the father quickly pushed it aside just before the elephant ran past. Later, we found out that the pram was empty as the baby was with its mother. Still, it was dangerous, especially for children and the elderly who may not be able to react in time.'

The Singapore Zoo will look into this problem!
