On 27 April 2016, Malakoff Corporation Berhad (Malakoff), a Member of MMC Group in collaboration with the Fisheries Department, continued its annual “Kenali Penyu, Sayangi Penyu” Turtle Awareness and Educational Programme for the fifth year at Segari Turtle Management Centre (TMC).

The programme aims to promote awareness on the threats faced by sea turtles to the public. More than 200 volunteers from Malakoff, the Fisheries Department and Institute of Marine Engineering Technology, Lumut campus of Universiti Kuala Lumpur participated in the event which saw the release of 40 turtles into the sea by the volunteers.

The volunteers also participated in a ‘gotong-royong’ with the local communities to spruce up the vicinity of TMC and attended an educational talk conducted by a representative from Turtle and Marine Ecosystem Center (TUMEC) which highlighted the important part individuals can play in conserving turtles. Malakoff also presented a contribution of RM10,000 to the Fisheries Department for TMC’s maintenance.
