Kampong Sungai Matan Fishing Challenge
A popular fishing site in the country is at Kampong Sungai Matan. The Kampong Matan Consultative Council organises fishing challenge competitions frequently, receiving an encouraging response. Today, the activity was organised to promote Kampong Sungai Matan as a Fishing Village Eco Tourism destination.
At the competition this time round, participants fish using only a type of traditional fishing equipment called "KIRIKAN". The competition started at 9 in the morning until 2 in the afternoon along the Kampong Sungai Matan bridge. Participants comprised of men, women and children of all ages. Besides introducing Kampong Sungai Matan to visitors, the competition was also to forge closer relations among kampung residents, fishing enthusiasts and tourists.
Meanwhile, the prizes were presented this afternoon by the Deputy Permanent Secretary at the Ministry of Industry and Primary Resources, Awang Mohd Riza bin Dato Paduka Haji Mohd Yunos. Prizes were also presented to winners of the regatta event.
