MP SPEAKS | M'sia should ratify treaties to protect our fisherfolk, oceans

| Yesterday, I participated in a Regional Webinar on the Ratification and Implementation of the Provisions of the 2012 Cape Town Agreement for Asia organised by the International Maritime Organization and PEW Research as the executive committee member of the Parliamentarians for Global Action and as a Malaysian MP.

Bahiyuddin, a local fisherfolk from Dungun, Terengganu is one of those who have been on the receiving end of this disaster at sea. Obscure border boundaries and maritime territorial disputes have been an ongoing problem for years and thus allowed IUU to flourish in the region as some Malaysian fisherfolk were arrested by Indonesian authorities while still being in Malaysian waters.

Transhipment, which is the transfer of fish and sea produce from smaller boats when their storage is full on to larger ships, also known as “logistic ship” or “mothership” with a large refrigerator which will allow the smaller boats to fish boundlessly, is another main enabler of IUU fishing. Like the act of money laundering on land, “fish laundering” happens at sea through the meticulous mixing of fish caught legally with those caught illegally.

at sea, their rights, safety, wellbeing and sustainability must be the most important focus of the government.As a partner in the Protecting the Oceans Campaign, Parliamentarians for Global Action rightfully states that “the Cape Town Agreement is fundamental for addressing fishing vessel safety and protecting the lives of fisherfolk in one of the most dangerous occupations in the world.

If Malaysia does not ratify the ILO Work in Fishing Convention and the CTA then it acts as a state party that will continue to allow the violations against our fisherfolk.

The state of Medina cant be establish as long as there is shirk in the country. Unless we abolish shirk and eliminate all its forms from our country there will be no prosperity and Allah’s help will not arrive either.
