With boats at shore, Pulau Indah Orang Asli fisherfolk rely on handouts to survive

Unlike some of their counterparts who have been able to sustain themselves by foraging the forest, the Mah Meri people in Kampung Orang Asli Pulau Indah have had to depend on handouts during the movement control order (MCO).

Most villagers are fisherfolk who have not been allowed to go out to sea since March 18 and thus have no income to feed their families.
