It's estimated that at least 100 million sharks are killed every year for their fins. Malaysia has been identified as among the world's largest shark's fin consumers and this demand has led to an alarming decline of shark numbers, which in turn affects the wider ecosystem, including all of us. We speak to Wong Siew Lyn and Wong Wee Liem, from the MNS Marine Group and Wong Si Peng, a scuba instructor, who are all part of a Shark Awareness Program happening in June, about the critical need to keep sharks in our waters.
