RM15,000 compensation doesn’t last long, says Tanjung Bungah fishermen’s community unit chief Ismail Din at the Tanjung Tokong Beach in Penang today.
The group, representing some 400 fishermen in Tanjung Tokong, today warned their fellow fishermen down south that no money can replace their catch that would definitely dwindle after the reclamation starts. “Today, the catch is down more than 60%. We are coastal fishermen and cannot afford to go the deep sea to fish.
Fisherwoman Syahifah Hawa Zamzuri, 30, said she and her fellow fishermen at the Tanjung Bungah area had experienced firsthand how the previous STP reclamation in their waters had left them frustrated with a poor catch and empty promises. Tanjung Bungah fishermen community committee member Ronald Khoo said the state should look into the plight of the fishermen staying along the coast of Tanjung Bungah and Tanjung Tokong before going ahead with another reclamation project.The STP reclamation project encompasses two phases and is off the waters of Tanjung Tokong. The first phase of the reclamation, comprising 97ha, was completed in 2006. Reclamation of 308ha, under the second phase , which commenced in 2016, is still under way.
