Low rubber prices have forced Abu Khalifah Hashim, 74, to adopt the electrofishing technique to feed his family of eleven.
He wakes up at 4am every morning to tap rubber and tend to his farm in Pendang, Kedah. Following this, he will head to the paddy field to catch fish for lunch.
For Budget 2018, he hopes that Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak will fix rubber prices at RM3 per kg, up from RM2.15 per kg currently.
