KUANTAN: A four-metre young whale found itself beached on the pristine sands of Cherating Beach near the private resort of Club Med Cherating here at 11am today. According to a resort staff member who declined to be named, the mammal was discovered beached on the sands by his colleagues at 11am. “When we examined the whale and found that it was still alive, we as a group (tourists, club members, resort staff and MNS members) made the decision to help it return to the sea. State Malaysian Nature Society chairman Jehan Bakar confirmed that members of the environmental non-governmental organisation (NGO) was at the beach to help push the whale back into the sea. “The people working together to push the whale back into the sea shows that compassion still exists among members of society.
