Break silo, win support for turtle via jazz : vimarsana.com

SILO mindset and practices hurt. When Alex Yee started the turtle hatchery in Libaran Island in 2013 at the asking and technical inputs from the Wildlife Department, it turned out to be a silo operation, a lone vanguard in chase of a transcendental cause.   

Reaching out to a village chief for support, he found not only rejection but also literally obstruction – a classic silo mindset. Reaching out to the Sandakan local authority to clear a kilometre long turtle nesting beach buried under a mountain of garbage, he was also rejected, another silo mindset.     

One day, a few years later, he sounded his intention to quit but changed his mind when a lone journalist and supporter reminded him of Vince Lombardi’s famous quote: “Winners never quit, quitters never win”.
