KLUANG: The owner of the thousands of arowana fish that escaped from broken rearing ponds in Renggam near here on Tuesday has indicated he has no intention to reclaim the escaped fishes current in possession of villagers there.
Ng Ah Phau said he came to that decision as it would be impossible to get back the 15,000 to 18,000 fish because it was a complicated process, and he expressed hope that no one would blame or threaten the nearby villagers over the matter.
"The incident was probably caused by certain infrastructure construction work, so I hope the related authorities will conduct an immediate investigation. I have lodged a report with the police and will take legal action," he said when contacted.
News of the escaped fish had gone viral on social media, with thousands of fish found in the irrigation canals and streams around Layang-Layang and Renggam since Tuesday.
Villagers had earlier been reported to have said they were willing to return the fish they retrieved and in their care, and also hoped that they would not be penalised for their actions.
