At a recent exhibition preview in Dungun, Terengganu, one-of-a-kind turtle sculptures were on display, bathed in soft light with mirrors beneath to highlight their unique shapes and colours.

These handcrafted pieces – each turtle with its own story – are being auctioned this month to support turtle conservation through the Penyu Shell-Ter Project, a fundraising campaign led by YTL Cement in collaboration with YTL Hotels.
