The issue began when pictures of endangered marine species being sold at the Semporna wet market went viral on social media last month.
Despite their endangered status, shark and stingray meat are still being openly sold in markets in Sabah.
In response, Kitingan, who is also the state agriculture, fisheries, and food industry minister, said Sabah can only enact its own legislation if it does not contradict the Fisheries Act — which does not list certain shark and ray species as being endangered. When asked about Kitingan’s suggestion to amend the Fisheries Act, Chan, who is also the Kota Kinabalu MP, said he had already provided his response to the issue.
“Since Kitingan does not agree with me on this matter, just let it be. No further comments. I stand by my response.”
