UM's Secret Societies?

Heard whispers about secret societies still active on campus...old, hushed-up stories from the 70s and 80s. Anyone know if there's any truth to those legends? Seriously curious, as someone who loves a good bit of campus folklore! I'll be staying near the main campus, hopefully, I won't accidentally stumble into a clandestine meeting or something...

Honestly? I've spent years around UM, and while there's definitely a vibe... the whole "secret society" thing feels more like exaggerated rumour than reality. Think of it like this: old stories get embellished over time. People love a good mystery, especially on a campus with so much history.

You'll probably find more interesting stuff in the student unions or just exploring the campus itself. It's beautiful, seriously. Focus on your conference, and maybe grab some roti canai, that's the real hidden gem of KL. Enjoy your trip!

KL Bird Park Mystery

Hundreds of birds, all sorts of colours. But I noticed something weird, there was this one section, almost hidden, with just a few really unusual birds, no signs, nothing. They looked...sad? I couldn't figure out what was going on with them. Anyone know the story behind that secluded area? Is it like a bird retirement home or something?

the back area past the hornbill enclosure? i've heard keepers call it the quarantine row. new arrivals & sick birds go there first before they get moved into the main aviaries, so the "sad" look is often just stress from transport or treatment. some of those rare ones are on loan from perhilitan for rehab, they rotate out once they're healthy. if u go on a weekday morning you can sometimes catch a keeper near the gate, they'll usually tell u what's in there if u ask nicely

tbh that hidden section is prob the old breeding block, not quarantine. they used to run captive breeding programs there for hornbills and some pheasant species back in the 2000s, and when funding dried up they just kind of left the structure standing. the birds u saw are likely the last few residents of that program, too imprinted to release so they stay put. if u want the real story ask for the head keeper at the main office, the front desk staff usually don't know much about it.

oh that area near the back ponds right? i think those are confiscated birds from the wildlife dept, smuggled ones that got seized at klia. they keep em there quietly cos some are protected species and they dont wanna draw attention. not a retirement home, more like a holding spot.
