WHEN you are in Bagan Sekinchan in Sabak Bernam, there is a high chance you will come across someone with the surname Chia.

The first Chia I met was village head Chia Yeow Long, 59, who was a fisherman for more than 20 years but has since traded in his sea legs; he currently owns a business processing fish paste and fish balls.
