PETALING JAYA: There is sufficient fish to cater to the country’s needs, provided the people do not start hoarding, says the Fisheries Department.

Its director-general Mohd Sufian Sulaiman advised Malaysians not to succumb to panic buying as the combination of fish from the sea, rivers and ponds was enough to meet the country’s annual demand.
