GEORGE TOWN: Concerns that millions of tonnes of sand at high seas off Perak will be sucked up for the Penang South Reclamation (PSR) project were among the points raised in an online petition against it.

Uncertainty over the livelihood of 6,080 fishermen in Perak on top of the 4,817 inshore fishermen in Penang was also among the 20 points in the petition raised by 45 non-governmental organisations (NGOs) to be sent to Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, urging him to stop PSR.
