As far as we know, only the NST and the Star published articles on the event.

Please continue to bring up the issue of turtles in Terengganu when ever you can. It is still the state in Penin. Malaysia recording the highest nesting density (although much reduced compared to the past). I have dreams to restore the turtles here to their glorious past and maybe there are a handful of people in Terengganu like yourself who share this dream. Can we meet one day for coffee, maybe through RZ? Dear SB,

Thank you for dropping by. If you could recall, I conducted 4 Turtle Camps in 2008, and sent in a bunch of hand-written letters from the school kids. Just wanted to let you know that I am very grateful that you had chosen to publish the letters and the story. I alerted the school teachers, and they were very happy as well :) Thank you! Hello SB!

And yes it's sad to see the local media at Terengganu don't have the power to make it happen on turtles. For the past few years, I did ask for a feedback from the state government on the stories I've written but up till now, nothing has been replied or answered. So for me, it seems the government has to take a stern action. There is no other way, and we can't be anymore lenient to amend the policies. Time are short, something drastic has to be done by the government esp the Terengganu state government. As for me, got reply or not, I'm still and will write about turtles vocal or soft. For me, my column will be read by around 2.3 million readers weekly, hopefully the younger generation will realize something in the near future. And for me, I'm not into fame, so let me only known as Sulur Bidai. Hope we can work together. P/s. RZ. I'm going for another homestay trip next year same dc, different homestay. Wanna tag along? Cheers SB Thanks Rahayu for introducing me, now I felt a bit famous :)
