‘BRATs 03, I found our reef balls’

Mission accomplished: Ling surveying one of the reef ball sites.

TWENTY-TWO years ago, I had the privilege of being one of 31 BRATs selected to join the 2003 year-end journey to Pulau Mabul and Sipadan in Sabah.

The trip, dubbed “Mabul Experience ‘03”, coincided with the 10th anniversary of BRATs, The Star’s Young Journalist Programme.
