Fishermen to benefit from grassroots-level shipyards


ALOR SETAR: Infrastructure such as shipyards at the Area Fishermen’s Association (PNK) level is an important socio-economic project in generating income and improving the social development of local fishermen, says Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu (pic).

The Agriculture and Food Security Minister said while Malaysia is widely recognised for its large-scale shipyards, grassroots-level facilities form part of the government’s strategy to strengthen local supply chains, develop talent and modernise the fisheries industry.
