KurauKing's Fishing Journal

 

Another sad news for Malaysian anglers. Empangan Air Kuning, Bukit Cherakah, Shah Alam, Selangor the one and only Flyfishing and Lure Fishing Commercial Pond is going to be closed down. Apparently the reason Bukit Cherakah authorities want to close down this Flyfishing/Lurefishing pond is because the pond operator, Mr Nik Rahimi refuses to allowed some of the Officers of Bukit Cherakah(  Bahagian Setiausaha from the Kementerian Pertanian & Industri Asas Tani ) to do fishing(FOC) at this pond. According to Mr Nik Rahimi, those Officers are taking back their catch(fishes caught at the pond) and this Empangan Air Kuning Pond is a Catch and Release concept fishing pond.

According to Mr Nik Rahimi :-

Firstly, I would like to thank you all for showing your support to Fly Fishing and Lure Casting Centre. The reason why I dont want to write sooner is that I am afraid that it will be seen like I am putting fuel in the fire.

Anyway, I also feel that it will be wrong for me not to inform you guys of the latest incidences or put it as commotion happening with the GUY yesterday infront of the Setiausaha Bahagian from the Kementerian Pertanian & Industri Asas Tani.Our place might be taken away from us.All because of the bull**** story created by this GUY.

As expected, from the day I decided to make a report to Pengurus taman about this group who always came to our place at nite without informing us and fished until morning, and God knows how many fishes they sapu, will be the day I will be in trouble. and true enough, yesterday 1 thick report about us not performing and giving bad services to the client and creating bad image to Taman Pertanian came out as hot topics. Not enough fishes released, not enough development etc,etc….

And he has very good excuses about his friends (7 to 8 of them) going in at night and stealing our fish….. all for research and testing the conditions of the water. Yes,we took out the fish, yes we open the stomach of the fish but all for the sake of fact finding……

All that was done without a word to me. 7 to 8 times and sometimes 3 times a week. I dont want to accuse of how many fishes they took exactly because they usually fish when Wak was sleeping. But everyday we saw our fishes reducing and I guess you guys have been noticing about this too.

So, for the love of our place and to put a stop to all this, I decided to inform the Pengurus verbally. The moment the GUY knows about this, he immediately create problem to me and all of us. On two occassions, 2 days in a row, the GUY instructed the Ranger not to allow anybody to go in the Empangan. I was not informed on both ocassions. Lucky enough one of the officer and also the Pengurus took action to withdraw the instruction from the GUY and open as usual.

But then this created further anger to the GUY. Taking the advises from the Pengurus and also the Pengarah Perikanan I then decided to put all this on record and send a proper letter of complaint to his boss. The rest you continue on your own lah………..

So… what should we do to salvage the only place we have for our Fly fishing activity closed to us?
I alone might not be able to fight this but together we can show to the Kementerian that what we are doing now is not for the overnight gain nor for certain group only. Its for everybody and for the next generations too.

The best person to assist us is the person who has been helping and pushing for this centre to be materialised. Perhaps you all can e-mail your view directly to her : Puan Che Wan, “chewan@agri.moa.my” and share with her your own findings. Hopefully she will listen to you all.

Please accept my apology for creating this whole mess…and thank you friend once again for showing your support when I relly needed that.

I am sadden to hear such thing have to happen to us anglers. To all sifu that has taught me WELL, now i understand the reason behind C&R which i don’t give a dam last time….

One thing that i’ve learned is, C&R(Catch and Release) Fishing Concept will educate ppl to conserved our fish stock for the next generation, and i just visited their Laman Web Rasmi Kementerian Pertanian & Industri Asas Tani( http://www.moa.gov.my/home ). Guess what, their objective doesn not include any ‘AWARENESS’ or ‘EDUCATION’ at all. They don’t care whether our fish will deplete or not in the future due to over fishing now!!!
