Deep sea fishermen forced to buy fish from market


PASIR PUTEH: Deep sea fishermen in Cherang Ruku, near here, have chosen to stay on shore and buy fish from the market after warnings by the meteorological department that it was bracing for the worst following reports of the typhoon Sonamu hitting the Kelantan shoreline.

“Apart from loss of income, we have no choice but to buy fish for our consumption, although it may be expensive,” said Husain Awang, 65, a deep sea fisherman for 30 years.
