“We got ikan baungs (mystus) and ikan belanaks (mullets) although the sun was really hot.”
“At the Ministry of Agriculture and Food, the Warisan-led government has been working extremely hard to elevate the livelihoods of fishermen.”
“Sometimes through infrastructure projects like jetties which I work closely together with Datuk Peter.”
“We are also working on advocating fish hatcheries and breeding as it is more sustainable. It is also the way forward by using scientifically proven more efficient ways to produce higher yields.”

“Peter treated us to his home cooked curry asam fish. Also freshly caught from near the Sipitang river mouth. I will show you the video soon.”
