Malaysia - Malaysia's Natural Resources and Environment Ministry has struck off shark's fin soup from the menus at official functions, to help conserve the species.

By refraining from the consumption of shark's fin soup, it is hoped that the ministry would contribute in one way or another towards the current conservation efforts for sharks species.

Their demise would start off a domino effect, which at each stage could result in the depletion or overpopulation of other fish and marine species leading to an imbalance in the marine ecosystem.

Malaysia's population is dominated by Muslim Malays, but there are also large ethnic Chinese and Indian communities.

Good for them! I hope everyone bans shark fin anything, those poor creatures are often thrown back in the ocean after having their fins cut off and die slow painfull deaths! When i watched a program on it , the whole thing made me sick to my stomach! And it,s so hard to catch these butchers and their evil deeds too!
