Yup, you read that right.

I will not be attached with any turtle-related projects carried out by the Turtle Research and Rehabilitation Group (TRRG) of UMT, with immediate effect.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you — volunteers, donors, visitors, friends and readers — who have given me your co-operation throughout the duration of my tenure as a Research and Outreach Officer of the TRRG.

To me, the past 10 months had been an eye-opening experience, and I truly appreciate the offer given to me by Prof. Chan. Without Prof. Chan, I would not be where I am, I would not be who I am, and I would not be as skillful and experienced as I am today :) Thanks, Prof. Chan, for giving me the golden opportunity, and for your never-ending guidance.

I would also like to apologize to you if I have, in any way, shape or form, done anything that made you feel uncomfortable. I am a strict person by nature, but I promise you I will learn to soften up a little, like some of you have suggested :)

Goodbye, my turtle lover friends, and may our paths cross again in the future.

Take care,
Pelf
