NSTnation: Yesterday, Johor Mentri Besar Datuk Dr Sahruddin Jamal announced the RM1.5 million allocations for fishermen in southern Johor after a state exco meeting in Iskandar Puteri, yesterday.

South Johor Fishermen’s Association chairman Azli Mohamad Aziz said although the amount was lower than the previous “wang ehsan” of RM2,000, they thanked the state government for continuing the cash aid.

Mohamad Saman, 70, said he would use the cash aid to buy fishing nets, which could last him up to two months. “Even though the amount is not big, it can help with the expenses to buy fishing equipment,” he said when met at the Pengkalan Nelayan Parit Penghulu Jetty in Serkat, near here. “Usually, the aid would be paid in full but by zones. For example, Gelang Patah fishermen will be paid first, followed by Pasir Gudang and then Pontian, never in three instalments,” he said.
