KOTA KINABALU: The state government has stepped in over the tragedy of the huge Bryde’s whale that died in the shallow waters off Gaya Island last Sunday.
It wants the skeletal remains of the Bryde’s whale to be preserved and eventually exhibited to the public.
And, it has also agreed to pay for the costs of preserving the remains of the 20.6 metres marine creature that has since been towed out to sea and anchored to a rock some five nautical miles from Gaya Island.
Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Haji Aman has directed the Fisheries Department to work with the Sabah Museum Department, Sabah Parks and Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) researchers on the conservation of the whale’s bones.
