The market, dubbed Pasar Pendekar Laut, is the brainchild of 35-year-old fisherman Shalan Jum’at who wants to give the fishing community here a chance of getting fair earnings for their hard work.“Middlemen often enjoy a large portion of the profits from these catches, leaving fishermen hardly enough to cover the costs of going to the sea, including petrol expenses,” said Shalan in an interview.
“Some of them could not afford to buy petrol to go to the sea, others may need help in fixing their nets. I try to do what I could to help them,” he said.“We open the market every day from 9am, where people could buy a variety of about 15 seafood including fish, crabs and prawns, depending on what is available on that day.
Due to an increased number of unsold catches during the first movement control order, Shalan has also initiated a fundraising effort called the Big Fish Bailout programme to help the public and fishermen.
