China pledges to send pandas to Malaysia 'at appropriate time' after delay over MH370 search. China said the two pandas promised to Malaysia to mark the 40th anniversary of diplomatic ties will arrive at an "appropriate time". The announcement was made after Malaysia announced their scheduled trip next week would be delayed, at the request of the Chinese government. Giant pandas Feng Yi and Fu Wa were supposed to leave the Sichuan conservation centre on April 15 and arrive early the next day, according to a spokesman for Malaysian Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment.
