GEORGE TOWN: Major restaurants here have experienced a 20% drop in their seafood business due to concerns over marine pollution caused by the release of treated radioactive water from the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan into the Pacific Ocean, said the head of an association that represents some 40 major restaurants in Penang.
“Some of these restaurants even put a halt to their imports. Although our fish supply is not only from Japan, such worries have led to customers opting for local fish.
“Some farms have developed so much that fishes sold come in larger sizes to satisfy more consumers,” said Penang Koo Soo Kwong Choon Tong Restaurant and Tea Shop Association chairman Vinah Yee. Maple Palace manager Alex Teoh said the restaurant has not received any year-end bookings as of yet, but added that it will be launching its new packages soon.Fishmonger Abdul Mutalib Abdul Wahab, 48, said while restaurants might be facing a decline in orders, most locals are not really bothered over the situation in Japan.“To my knowledge, our waters are not affected and as long as people do not spread fake news, we will not be affected.
