Malaysian CoRal Reef Conservation Society (Persatuan Pemuliharaan Terumbu Karang Malaysia) or known as CoRal Malaysia was formed in 2003. We are non-profit organization dedicated to create public awareness through strategic thinking and unique programs in order to help protect coral reef and its ecosystem.

Creating name as first NGO to do ‘coral planting’ with Marine Park of Malaysia in 2003, CoRal Malaysia create real impact in diving community when received its first Malaysia Book of Record (MBoR) for ‘Longest Underwater Painting’ in 2004.

Lead by Malaysia’s first Underwater Painter, Ajis Mohamad and a group of artist from Malaysia National Gallery, 40 divers painted a 36 meter canvas. The painting now is a national heritage at National Art Gallery.

Year 2006 is a great year for CoRal Malaysia. With support from State Government of Terengganu, two more records were received from MBoR.

From creating a massive 20 meter national flag, Jalur Gemilang, underwater on 17th August, to hoisting the national pride from the seabed on Malaysia’s Independence Day, 31st August, 2006. The national flag now is being exhibit at lower ground of Wisma Darul Iman, State Government of Terengganu administration office.

CoRal Malaysia also recognized as first marine NGOs’ created an Underwater Gallery. Six replicas of Terengganu heritage were placed at the seabed of Bidong Island, in November, 2006.

Since 2007, CoRal Malaysia focus is on community program. With global warming threats also affect coral reef, we feel its time to do more serious program with community at large. Sea Fiesta on March, 2007, was a stepping stone to a better awareness program.
