THE next two to three years will be the most difficult time for the fishing community in Pengerang following the oil spill at Pasir Panjang Terminal (PPT) in Singapore on June 14.

It was reported a Netherlands-flagged dredging boat hit a stationary Singapore-flagged bunker vessel at PPT, causing Singapore’s biggest oil spill in over a decade.
