“We call upon Suhakam to advise the Penang state government, developers, government officers and fisheries authorities to respect the fishing communities’ rights and to conduct any consultations fairly and transparently with all legitimate representatives on board. Khoo also said they were appealing to Suhakam to ensure that local fishing communities are not disenfranchised of their rights to the fisheries commons which has been a source of livelihood for generations.
“We will continue to meet with the stakeholders. We will continue to find out more information as we understand meetings have taken place with the affected NGOs. “Our concern is that we have the National Physical Plan in place but we are not sure if the PSR have accorded to this plan,” she said.
