The clean-up campaign is a global initiative by Suzuki Marine, bringing together businesses and local communities from around the world to clean up beaches, remove marine debris, improve ocean health and most importantly, raise public awareness about the importance of marine conservation. Since this global project began, it has reached over 26 countries, engaged more than 20,000 volunteers and successfully removed over 120 tonnes of marine waste from the oceans. The Saturday event not only celebrates the long-standing partnership between KTS and Suzuki Marine, but also marks the beginning of their anniversary series with a strong message of environmental responsibility. KTS Sabah operations manager Wong Kee Mee said moving forward, the company will continue to give back to society, promote sustainability and provide cleaner, more enjoyable boating experiences. Wong underscored their commitment to building a future where people and nature can thrive together. 'Today, we are joined by passionate volunteers from KTS, Suzuki Marine, the Kinabalu Yacht Club and members of the community. 'Their energy and participation show the power of working together towards a shared mission — to protect our precious marine environment. 'Through this campaign, we hope to inspire more companies, more communities, and more individuals to take action and join us in preserving our oceans for the future,' he said. Also present were KTS Kota Kinabalu branch manager Wong Ching Diak, KTS Group Sabah area senior office manager Paul Hii, Suzuki dealer Ha Haw Chiong, KYC manager Tony Lai and KYC head of committee Omar Baki.
