South Johor Fishermen’s Association chairman, Azli Mohamad Aziz shows clams which are feared to have been contaminated.: The chemical waste pollution in Pasir Gudang, since March 7, has not only affected the health of people around the region but has led to a decline in catch and fishermen’s sales to drop.
“The pollution has affected 250 fishermen from four villages around Sungai Kim Kim, namely the Orang Asli fisherman from Telok Kabung, Kampung Perigi Aceh, Kampung Pasir Putih and Kampung Pasir Gudang Baru, to whom the river was a source of income,” he said when met at the Kampung Pasir Gudang Baru fishermen’s market, here today.
“The incident also led to a fish glut among fishermen, including those at Kampung Pasir Gudang Baru Fishermen’s Market because people were not buying fearing contamination,” said Azli who has been a fisherman for the past 35 years.
