During the two weeks term break I went on a holiday to Perhentian Island in Terengganu, Malaysia and i decided to talk about it on my blog. These may not be the most current issue but I think it is important to save our planet earth.I went to quite a number of beach holidays but none of the experience came close to the one I had had at this Island.



Perhentian island lays abot 10 nautical mile that is about 19 km offshore the coast of northeastern Malaysia and it is also 64 km south of Thailand border. Perhentian islands has been declared as marine park by the Malaysian goverment.Perhentian Island is fringed by white sand beaches, and the reef and crystalline are host to wide variety of corals, sea-turtles, jellyfish, small sharks and reef fishes. These island is covered with jungle and few interior foot path ideal for jungle trekking.



What is a Marine park? Well marine park are places where only activities that have minimal damage to the enviroment can be carried out there. Therefore it means no fishing, no jet ski. Activities carried out there includes jungle trekking, island hopping, snorkeling, diving, shark watching and turtle watching. Perhentian Island is also turtle conservation centre where about 300 turtles come to nest every year.However this has declined over the years as there is oil spills by oil production platform and oil tankers owned by Petronas not far away from Perhentian Island.



No matter how much te goverment tries without the cooperation of all parties the nature cannot be saved.Therefore everyone should be aware to the changes in the enviroment help protect the enviroment for our future genaration.
