KUALA LUMPUR: The government spent RM622.88 million on subsistence allowance for fishermen from 2018 to 2022 in an effort to alleviate their financial burden due to the rising cost of living.
Agriculture and Food Security Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu said under the initiative introduced in 2018, fishermen received RM300 per month while inland fishermen received RM250 per month.
Uh-oh! Daily quota reached.
