MELAKA: The Feast of San Pedro will be a thing of the past if the wanton reclamation work planned along the shoreline of the Portuguese Settlement is not controlled, says an activist.

Save The Portuguese Action Committee chairman Martin Theseira said the annual festival to commemorate the Feast Day of St Peter, the patron saint of the fishermen, will cease by 2030.
