Opportunities for young fishermen with Penang reclamation project


Fisherman Fiqdaus prefers the sea over a desk job. He will soon take a boat pilot training course offered under the Penang South Islands (PSI) project.

UNLIKE most youths his age, Muhd Fiqdaus Iqmal Zubir prefers working in the open sea to an air-conditioned room.

The 21-year-old from Sungai Batu, Penang, learned the trade of a fisherman from his father and has been going out to fish since he was 17. He also knows how to weave nets, fix boat engines and catch prawns.
