Business must go on: Mohd Jamil entertaining a customer at his stall in Butterworth.

BUTTERWORTH: The 15-hour storm which caused floods in many areas in Penang also brought massive losses to fish farmers when hundreds of their cages became damaged.

Fish farmer Ooi Hye Hin, 54, said strong waves pounded his 150-cage farm in Teluk Bahang and caused about 40% of the fish to escape, adding that about 10% of his cages and nets were damaged.
