We attended a very meaningful event last
Saturday - the My Fin My life photo expo and photography prize giving ceremony
at The School, Jaya One. We have seen students, divers and photographers
gathered there to witness the prize presentation ceremony of the School’s My
Fin My Life Photography Contest at around 2.30PM on 26th Nov 2016.
The event was held with the aim to create
awareness to say no to shark fins. We are fully support this, and wondering how
many of you still consuming shark fins? The removal of shark fins is very
cruel, the sharks returned to the ocean without their fins are often still
alive; unable to move effectively, they sink to the bottom of the ocean and die
of suffocation or are eaten by other predators.
It is also create extensive implications for marine systems, Imagine
there’s no more shark to eat the big fishes, the small fishes will be gone
eventually as they are eaten by all the big fishes.
Actually, shark fins is tasteless, so why
are we still consuming it?

During the prize presentation ceremony, Miss Jessica Yeoh of Tetap Tiara (M) Sdn Bhd (The School) said, “My Fin My Life is an initiative by WWF-Malaysia to reverse the present scenario of high shark fin consumption in Malaysia by engaging the public and businesses to unanimously pledge not to consume shark fin soup and products. In line with the WWF-Malaysia goals, the School by Jaya One embarked on a creative journey to instill the idea of shark conservation via the love of photography.
