Hi Harold,

I understand that you Love Shark fin Soup, you have been promoting fake shark fin soup.My question to you, So when you attend a wedding banquet, would you assume the fin is fake n happily slurping it? you stated somewhere i read, you had confirm 3 restaurants is serving FAKE SFS, would you have conclusion on the fin soup you had is all fake?
you did mention that real fin soup would cost over rm 100 a bowl? are you sure on this? base on what?

Below, some pictures taken in Malaysia's wet market, as you will notice the fins are still attached n they are not expensive :

This is the fins you are consuming, low grade fins from small n baby shark...
Where does the big fins goes?
singapore, hong kong n china!!!

I really dont think the fin soup you having in wedding banquet are really fake...
I assume you are not married n will not serve sfs on your wedding banquet (Thank you), lets say if you are not aware of this n will host ur wedding banquet.
Will you consider serving FAKE shark fin to your family, relative, business partner,friends, clients, customers n respective guests? Knowing that some may notice n talk behind you? paiseh leh...
If you attend a good reception dinner in some grand hotel, they would not serve fake stuff.
(I have no longer attend wedding serving Shark Fin Soup)

I m not sure if you are aware Malaysia is the top ten Shark Fin catcher/exporter in the world contributing of 2.9%?

Harold, are you a diver? do you concern about the no. of Sharks being harvest annually? will you please stop promoting Shark Fin Soup/Fake Shark Fin Soup?
