: About 80 farmers in Kampung Sungai Suloh and Kampung Bukit Kelicap, near here, claimed to have lost millions of ringgit after their crops were inundated in seawater for most of the year.
He said the agriculture activities, which started in 1976, could earn each farmer an income of about RM150,000 per year. However, due to the damaged embankment, they are losing almost half of that amount. “It will take some time for the water to flow back as there is only one water gate, and you have to wait for water from the nearby river to recede. As a result, some crops were damaged and could not produce yields,” he told Bernama today.
“We hope the authorities will take action to help us repair the breached embankment and ensure the new one will be long-lasting,” he said.
