It was a turtle-y awesome farewell


BALIK PULAU: A loggerhead turtle is now back to its globe-trotting ways, two months after it was rescued by fishermen when it got snared in an abandoned trawler’s net.

It was released out to sea by the Fisheries Department yesterday, but not before a “farewell party” was held, attended by kindergarten kids, environmental activists, state assemblymen and Penangites who gathered to wish the turtle bon voyage.
