“This is the shop in Sinsuran that I exposed many years back. Now they are back doing it,” - Sabah Parks Protection Association Chairman Aderick Chong, who has called for protection of sharks over the years.
The call came following recent disturbing photos of shark fins being sold openly at a shop in Sinsuran. “This is the shop in Sinsuran that I exposed many years back. Now they are back doing it,” said Sabah Parks Protection Association Chairman Aderick Chong, who has called for protection of sharks over the years. Aderick, who shared the photos with Daily Express, said they were taken by tourists who were obviously disturbed.
“I see the end of the park, tourism on the horizon and with that will go the livelihood of so many that are really on it. With these issues not only highlighted here but by my valued guests, along with the massive increase in park fees and permits, it could be looking better,” he said.
