The problem has been around for the past 50 years, says the Muar MP.
The livelihood of more than 1,000 fishermen families here have been affected by illegal trawler boats which have encroached the coastline there for almost 50 years now, said Muar Member of Parliament Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman
He said the illegal trawler boats encroach up to Tanjung Tohor and had also destroyed the fish conservation and breeding areas as well as nets and cages of local fishermen. "The fishermen in Muar are still facing the problem of encroachment by trawler boats, the problem of concrete culverts, docks and jetties, and an unclear guide of fishing areas in the Strait of Malacca,” he said in a statement after visiting Parit Jawa and the waters off Muar to study the problem.
