: More and more fishermen near the reclamation site of the Penang government’s Penang South Island project are coming around, signing up to receive benefits under the Social Impact Management Plan .
With over half of the fishermen registered to receive SIMP benefits, more fishermen are willing to express their real opinions on the project. “The ex-gratia will go into my savings for the future,” Rosli said when met at PPSN after he registered for the SIMP recently. All south Penang Island fishermen registered with the Fisheries Department are eligible to receive the financial aid under the SIMP while the boat aid is being given to all boat owners from the Permatang Tepi Laut, Sungai Batu, Teluk Kumbar and Gertak Sanggul fishermen units.
Meanwhile, Hezri said registering for the SIMP was the natural thing to do since the reclamation has started. Last year, he received a new larger boat and a more powerful engine. He recently received 75 per cent of his ex-gratia payment of RM15,000.
