KUALA LUMPUR (Feb 9): The government has allowed small-scale fishing activities to resume throughout the period of the Movement Control Order (MCO), subject to permission from the police.

Senior Minister (Security Cluster) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said although the sector was allowed since the early phase of MCO implementation, individuals carrying out fishing activities on a small scale were facing constraints to move around because they did not have employers’ permission letters.
