‘Can’t even get 1 cent’: Fishermen’s livelihoods affected by Johor River pollution
“We can’t even get 1 cent anymore”: Fishing communities are among roughly 800,000 people affected across the state after a sand-washing pond at a mining site in Kota Tinggi burst on Oct 31, contaminating the Johor River.
Fishermen at Kampung Orang Asli Sayong Pinang, about 2km downstream, say the pollution wiped out seafood and killed fish in their breeding farms, cutting off their only source of income. When CNA visited on Nov 4, the river water was murky and clay-like, with no fish in sight. #malaysia #malaysianews
