Terengganu govt mulls ban on sale of turtle eggs


KUALA TERENGGANU: The Terengganu government will look into the possibility of banning the sale of turtle eggs of all species in the state, says Agriculture, Agro-based Industry and Rural Development Committee chairman Dr Azman Ibrahim.

The sale of turtle eggs which was allowed in the state has given Terengganu a bad image, he added.“As stipulated in the Terengganu Turtles Enactment 1951 (Amendment 1987), only the sale of Leatherback turtle eggs is prohibited, while eggs of other turtle species are allowed... which is why we see them being sold in the Payang Market.
