THE Fisheries Development Authority of Malaysia (LKIM) has allocated RM1 million to distribute free frozen fish (Q-fish) in all Parliamentary constituencies to help people affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, said its chairman Syed Abu Hussin Hafiz Syed Abdul Fasal.

“We are giving away 1,000kg’s of fish for free because the government listens to the grievances of the people who are having difficulties getting fish supplies.

“This morning we organised the Keluarga Malaysia Sales Programme and LKIM distributed 300kg’s of fish to residents and held an auction to sell expensive fish like golden pomfret, mackerels and sardines,” he told a press conference at the Bukit Gantang Parliamentary Service Centre, in Bukit Gantang today.

Syed Abu Hussin, who is Bukit Gantang Member of Parliament, said the price of fish is expected to stabilise next month when foreign workers are given permission to enter the country to work on deep-sea fishing vessels.

“I am confident that the price of fish will stabilise in May. The monsoon season is over and fishing vessels can go back to the sea,” he said. – Bernama, April 14, 2022.
