Facing an uncertain future


Sawal says the daily catch has dwindled due to damage to the marine ecosystem off Danga Bay.

JOHOR BARU: The Orang Seletar fishermen in Kampung Bakar Batu Perling near here have been forced to fish further afield as their catch in rivers close to home has dwindled.

Village head Tok Batin Kais Tee, 57, said marine life was no longer thriving in Sungai Danga and Sungai Skudai near their village as both rivers were polluted.
