: Fishermen affected by the Penang South Reclamation project have objected to a proposal that they look for other jobs.

The PSR project involves the building of three new islands off the southern coast of Penang Island. The three islands, with land area extending more than 1,800ha, will then be sold and the proceeds from the sale will be used pay for the RM46 billion Penang Transport Master Plan project. Nazri, who was speaking to reporters during a whistle-stop by Port Dickson MP Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, said the fishermen appreciated the gesture by the state and SRS Consortium, the delivery partner for the transport master plan project.

Nazri said the fishermen also did not have sufficient savings to move into low-to-medium-cost homes that the state had pledged to build for them.
