NIBONG TEBAL: Fish farmers near Penang’s Pulau Burung sanitary landfill are blaming the facility for emitting pollution that harms their cage-bred fish.
There are about 150 fish farms, forming one of the largest clusters of floating fish farms in Malaysia, and they are located 2km from Penang’s only sanitary landfill.
The fish farms produce 20,000 tonnes of fish yearly, including for export to Singapore and Hong Kong.
