PANTAI REMIS: The Perak government is formulating a new policy to be introduced early next year to legalise its prawn-farming industry, state executive councillor Nga Kor Ming said.

The policy could ensure that the environment and the interests of the estimated 5,000 prawn farmers in the state were protected, he said.
