Grade A fish prices in Labuan escalate

Labuan MP Datuk Yussof Mahal has called on the the Fisheries Development Authority Malaysia (LKIM) and the fisherman's association to address the escalating prices of Grade A fish at the Labuan market, which were deemed to be the highest among the states.

Making a surprise check at fish and vegetable markets here, he said that the unacceptable high fish prices should not have happened as Labuan was an island.

The high prices of fish like white fish (RM20 per kilo) had resulted in people in the low-income bracket not being able to afford to eat Grade A fish, he said today. -- BERNAMA
