Photo from social media

KOTA KINABALU: A photograph of a protected sea turtle being sat on and its head stepped on, most likely taken on a boat, is making its rounds in the social media.

It is not known who those people are (as their faces were all blurred), where they are from or even if the picture was taken anywhere in Sabah.
