GEORGE TOWN: Expressing their displeasure at the way their memorandum was received by the state government, members of the Penang Fishermen Association (PFA) and representatives of local non-governmental organisations say they were treated better when they protested at Parliament.

PFA chairman Nazri Ahmad said he was displeased with the response as the fishermen were better received at Parliament and managed to express their woes and worries to a few MPs and ministers there, but were made to wait outside the state assembly here.
