KOTA KINABALU: A photograph of a protected sea turtle being sat on and its head stepped on, most likely taken on a boat, is making its rounds in the social media. She said she had directed the Sabah Wildlife Department director Augustine Tuuga to investigate further. Liew said regardless whether the offenders were tourists or locals, they clearly do not appreciate Sabah’s wildlife. “Everyone must respect our laws in protecting our wildlife species,” she said. She hopes to get more information on the incident so that action can be taken against the offenders.
