KOTA KINABALU: A foreign tourist who has been diving in Sabah waters multiple times was shocked by the sight of butchered hammerhead sharks recently. "I am shocked at what I have seen at the end of my scuba diving trip in Sabah in Malaysian Borneo," he said via his Facebook page. He urged the public to share his video and to ask for better protection for sharks if they wanted the killing of sharks to stop. Sabah Shark Protection Association Chairman Aderick Chong said the state government needed to come up with a decision on whether to list hammerhead sharks as protected. "I think we need a clear guideline and law on shark protection," he said, adding that divers from all over the world came to Sabah to dive with sharks.
