The Director-General of the Malaysian Fisheries Department announced recently that the department will be tabling the National Shark Management Plan with aim to protect sharks in Malaysian waters. Currently, only the Whale Shark is being protected in the Fisheries Act, 1985. The DG related how disgusted he is at seeing the pictures of carcasses of sharks that drowned after being finned by fishermen and dumped back into the sea to drown.
I must congratulate the DG and I hope that his department is serious in enforcing this act.
