Co-op to deliver long-term benefits to fishermen

The Penang government is working on providing the first 20 boats to boat owners who have signed up for the Social Impact Management Plan.

THE newly set up co-operative Koperasi Komuniti Pulau Pinang Selatan Berhad (KKPPSB) is being tasked with delivering key benefits of the Penang South Islands’ (PSI) Social Impact Management Plan (SIMP) – to be rolled out in the second half of this year.

The co-operative is the main contractor in the temporary facilities project in Permatang Tepi Laut, which involves building a temporary jetty with storage facilities along Sungai Bayan Lepas.
