KUALA LUMPUR: Images circulating on social media of tourists removing marine life out of their habitat, thought to be near a beach in Malaysia, and posing with them in pictures have outraged nature lovers. One of the women is seen holding a sign by WorldVentures travel club with the message ‘You Should Be Here'. "It saddens me to see how the corals and starfish were treated by this group of tourists. "We are not supposed to touch corals, as our hands are contaminated with bacteria, which can kill them, as they are very sensitive. Izzat said he hopes that such behaviour will stop, and that tourists will be more careful when going for holidays at islands.
