PETALING JAYA: National shuttlers Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik have made it into the men's doubles semi-finals of the Asian Games.
KOTA KINABALU: An island in Sabah’s east coast Semporna district that has lost most of its corals to destructive fishing methods over the decade received a much-needed boost with a restoration initiative by a group of young people.
The initiative was part of a long-term project funded by the IKI Small Grants Programme, which aims to restore damaged coral reefs and promote environmental awareness among the local population. “Although we live on the island, we never had the opportunity to dive or even plant a coral. It was through this programme that several of us were trained as divers, learnt about coral monitoring and are now actively involved in coral restoration.
“However, in recent years, I was saddened to see that most of those reefs have disappeared, mainly due to destructive fishing methods, which are one of the major threats to reefs in Semporna.“Fortunately, there is still hope. The youth group here is dedicated and through Reef Check Malaysia, I hope I can enable them to bring back the beautiful reefs that they once had,” he said.
