Some 200 people, many fisherfolk from Penang and Perak, marched to Parliament House this morning to protest the Penang government’s proposed Penang South Reclamation (PSR) project.
They lined the road leading into the august house and chanted “Tolak Tambak” (reject reclamation) in a bid to garner attention to their demands from ministers and MPs attending today’s parliamentary proceedings.
Representatives from the fisherfolk managed to enter the Parliament building to meet with Agriculture and Agro-based Industry Minister Salahuddin Ayub as well as Deputy Rural Development Minister R Sivarasa.
Salahuddin accepted the memorandum and promised to look into the reasons for their protest, stressing that the PSR project had not been approved yet.
