KUCHING: WWF-Malaysia is calling on the public not to consume wild or exotic meat this Lunar New Year as it is illegal in Sarawak to buy or sell wild meat in any form.

Its head of conservation for Sarawak, Dr Henry Chan, highlighted the selling of soft-shelled or freshwater turtles in the Padungan area here as a matter of concern.
