: The Fisheries Development Authority of Malaysia hopes that the upcoming Budget 2025, set to be tabled this Friday, will drive transformation in the fisheries sector, with a focus on enhancing the well-being of fishermen.
“Currently, 81,991 fishermen are registered with LKIM nationwide. This figure highlights the size of the fishing community relying on government assistance through various LKIM programmes,“ he told Bernama today. “To safeguard their welfare, we hope for an increase in the fishermen’s cost of living allowance. This adjustment should align with inflation rates and current operational costs to help ease their financial burden,” he said.
He added that with continued government support, the fisheries sector can develop sustainably, leading to overall improvements in the lives of fishermen.
