CATCH OF THE DAY ... It took three able-bodied fishermen about 45
minutes to haul this giant garoupa out of the waters off the Tanjung
Bidara coast in Malacca on Wednesday evening.

Abdul Rahman Jais, 30, and two of his friends, Mazlan Mansor, 26, and
Herman Mansor, 19, got the surprise of their lives when their
monstrous catch, which measures more than two metres long and tops
200 kilogrammes, finally came out of the water.

The fish was caught in a net that Abdul Rahman had placed one nautical
mile from the shore. When the three checked the net three hours
later, they immediately realised that something very heavy was
entangled in it.

PRE-WRAPPED belacan in red plastic bags adorning the stalls will surely catch your attention when you're driving along Jalan Tanjung Kling in Malacca.

About 15 km north of Malacca city, Tanjung Kling is a tourist destination in its own right, known for its beach - Pantai Klebang.
Along the coastal road, stalls in rows on either side offer belacan (shrimp paste), cincalok (shrimp-base appetiser) and just about anything ethnic like ikan masin (salted fish), gula Melaka (palm sugar), geragau kering (dried tiny shrimp), kerepek ubi (tapioca crisps) and others.
