‘Consumption of turtle eggs, sea turtles are off limits in Sabah’

KOTA KINABALU: Turtle eggs, or any part of protected sea turtles, are illegal for consumption and possession in the state, said the Sabah Wildlife Department.

Its director Augustine Tuuga said although the matter has been mentioned many times, there are still instances of people consuming turtle eggs, including supposed “VIP” visitors from Peninsular Malaysia.
