Concerned over future of mussel farm operations


Kelah with some of the mussels harvested by Orang Asli folk from Sungai Masai in Pasir Gudang.

ORANG Asli fishermen in Pasir Gudang, Johor, are concerned about talk that a mussel farm operated by some 40 families in Sungai Masai for more than 20 years may have to cease operations.

Kampung Orang Asli Kuala Masai Fishermen’s Association chairman Kelah Lah said they were not against development, but that any project which would disrupt the local community’s livelihood should not be considered.
