PETALING JAYA: PKR president Anwar Ibrahim today met Penang’s fishermen to discuss and hear their problems arising from the three-islands reclamation project, just a day after he raised the issue during a meeting with the prime minister.

He said a few things were achieved following the meeting with the fishermen and he would bring them up to the government’s leadership. The Penang government plans to reclaim three islands in the waters off its southern coast to finance its RM46 billion Penang Transport Master Plan, which will see roads and LRT being built.

The proposed three reclaimed islands, formally known as Penang South Reclamation, cover nearly 17 sq km, with islands of 9.3, 4.45 and 3.23 sq km to be reclaimed off the coast of Permatang Damar Laut, near Bayan Lepas.

Penang fisherfolk appeal to Anwar over PSR project'Fried kuey teow without cockles' is one of many complaints voiced out to PKR president. This island will happen whether they like it or not. I’m not a supporter of it but there is no way it won’t happen. BN also quiet so they r also supporting it. So better get bigger boats as compensation so they can fish further out. Better than cash.
