2023-09-09: Lokimala, the country's oldest elephant, died at the age of 86 at the National Elephant Conservation Centre in Kuala Gandah, Pahang last night.

According to the National Parks of Peninsular Malaysia (Perhilitan), the female elephant was brought into Malaysia from India, along with three other elephants, in 1974 to help relocate wild elephants.

The female elephant, which died at the Kuala Gandah National Elephant Conservation Centre (PKGK) in Lanchang, was brought to the country from Assam, India in 1974.

Lokimala was brought to this country along with three other elephants; Ganesh, La Bahadur and Paul Bahadur to aid in the relocation of wild elephants. Apart from that Lokimala was also involved in entertainment programmes for visitors to the centre.
