THE Whispering Fish Market, or commonly known as Pasar Bisik Kuala Muda in Penaga, continues to prosper with market-goers thronging the fish market to buy fresh seafood.
Those who intended to visit the market must register and have their body temperature screened before entering the market.
Market-goers can be seen anxiously waiting for the fishermen to return from the sea before they express their bids to the sellers.
The market was visited by Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow and his team today, and some 10,000 face masks were distributed to the public and fishermen.
Chow and his team were greeted and thanked by friendly fishermen, who were busy sorting out their catch.
Among those present were state Tourism Development, Arts, Culture and Heritage Committee chairman Yeoh Soon Hin, Penang Health, Agriculture and Agro-Based Industry and Rural Development Committee chairman Dr Norlela Ariffin, Chow’s political secretary Teh Lai Heng, Bukit Mertajam MP Steven Sim and Seberang Perai City Council mayor Datuk Rozali Mohamud.
