点评:Submitted a feedback via Singapore zoo website on 1 Oct with no response in 3 working days so I am posting this publicly.
I was met with a rude staff named Raj at Kidzworld. There was a area where I assumed guests can enter to pet the animals. One side is the ponies and the other side is the goats. Before entering, you have to wash your hands. So while I was doing that, Raj (standing at the pony side) was using his mobile phone the whole time.
The gate was unlocked so I assumed guests may enter as people were entering the gate over at the goat side. As I tried to open the gate, Raj snapped and shouted at me "YOU CANNOT COME IN HERE" in an aggressive tone and rolled his eyes at me before going back to using his phone. I apologized and walked away.
I understand the priority is the safety and well-being of the animals but there were no signs to indicate that the area was out of bounds. Secondly, it was unnecessary for the staff to be so rude when it was an honest mistake. The area was meant for children and families. If the attitude of the staff is so poor, please reconsider deploying him at Kidzworld or provide adequate training for staff to have basic manners or etiquette.
I have been a long-time supporter of Singapore Zoo. But because of this interaction, it has ruined my experience & impression of the Singapore Zoo. All zoo-goers please watch out as you may be scolded and disrespected unnecessarily while at Kidzworld.

我在Kidzworld遇到了一位名叫Raj的粗鲁工作人员。我以为那里有一个区域是游客可以进去抚摸动物的。一边是小马,另一边是山羊。进去之前必须洗手。结果我洗手的时候,Raj(站在小马那边)一直在玩手机。
大门没锁,所以我以为游客可以进去,因为人们正从山羊那边的大门进去。当我试图打开大门时,Raj厉声斥责我,用咄咄逼人的语气对我喊道:“你不能进来”,然后翻了个白眼,然后又回去玩手机了。我道了歉,走开了。
我明白动物的安全和福祉是首要考虑的问题,但那里没有任何标志表明该区域是禁区。其次,工作人员没必要这么粗鲁,毕竟这只是一个无意之失。这个区域本来就是为儿童和家庭设计的。如果工作人员的态度这么差,请重新考虑让他去儿童乐园,或者对员工进行充分的培训,让他们掌握基本的礼仪。
我一直是新加坡动物园的忠实支持者。但这次的互动毁掉了我对新加坡动物园的体验和印象。所有动物园游客请注意,在儿童乐园可能会受到不必要的责骂和不尊重。
