About 20KM from Lumut, there is a turtle breeding farm run by the Malaysia Department of Fisheries .
The sanctuary is open for public and the admission is free.
There are two type of turtle here, Green Turtle and Olive Ridley Turtle. You are allowed to touch the turtle here and if the officers are around, you might allowed to play with the turtles too.
The sanctuary provideing a safe place for baby turtles from their natural predators.
The numbers of turtles land on Pasir Panjang to lay eggs is become lesser, so the numbers of turtle eggs this sanctuary can collect also getting lesser.
Turtles are a very beautiful creature, can't imagine if one day this creature is no longer exist on our planet.
The sanctuary is located beside the beach and you can see an island from there which the shape really look like a turtle. Simply amazing
