Fishermen deny report on support for project

THE Penang Fishermen Association (PFA) is disputing a report that more than 60% of the villagers living on the south coast of Penang island are in favour of the Penang South Reclamation project in Permatang Damar Laut.

Arshad Omar, president of the Southern Penang Fishermen Association, which comes under the PFA, said the report in a Malay daily quoted two individuals who are not members of the association.
