JOHOR BARU: The National Fishermen’s Association (PNK) has plenty of frozen fish in store in case the current supply of seafood runs out due to the extension of the movement control order (MCO).

The Southern Johor Fishermen Association chairman Azli Aziz said the demand for seafood has spiked since the MCO was implemented on March 18.
