‘Shark finning may not be banned’

Great whites sharks are a protected species in Australia and it is illegal to catch, keep, buy, sell, possess or harm them

KOTA KINABALU: A move by Sabah to enact its own laws to ban the hunting and finning of sharks may result in such enactments eventually being challenged.

State Tourism, Culture and Environment Minister Datuk Seri Masidi Manjun said there was a possibility that a state law would be declared as having no effect.
