Conservation of Middle Bank Marine Sanctuary

I AM writing in response to public concerns about Penang’s Middle Bank and the Jelutong landfill redevelopment, about which I was recently quoted by groups without being contacted.

I do not wish to be interviewed on this matter, as I prefer to state my views neutrally as a scientist. It is important that the public hears the origin story of this initiative based on facts and the shared hopes of those who have been involved since the beginning.
