Here is a video of this Italian in action.

In his video, he shared: “I’ve lived here since I was 17-years-old. Now, when I come back to Penang, it feels like I’m going back to my own hometown.”

“When I speak to my friends in Penang, many do not know where is Kampung Sungai Batu and the realities these fishermen are made to face.”

“It astounds me how much Penangites love seafood but do not know where it comes from.”
