KOTA KINABALU: A massive ocean clean-up near Sabah’s popular Semporna diving hub has netted the state water producer a place in the Malaysia Book of Records (MBOR).

The state government-linked company Jetama Sdn Bhd set the record for the heaviest marine debris underwater clean-up in a day with a 2,171kg haul. This included collecting 1,578kg of plastic waste, the heaviest underwater plastic waste clean-up in a day.
