"It is unfortunate that we were not entertained and could only hand over our memorandum outside of the building. "They need to know why we are opposing the reclamation project. "They believe we are against development but that is untrue, we want the state to prosper, we are just opposing the reclamation project as it will be bad for fishermen and their livelihood.

About 1,000 fishermen in Penang had gone on strike earlier in the morning to protest the proposed PSR project.
