Key points

- Fisherman Wan Mohamad Amin Firdaus Wan Ya, 31, said the haze had made nearby islands difficult to see from the sea, but GPS, particularly on larger boats, helped fishermen determine their positions and continue working despite the limited visibility.
- Originally from Kota Bharu, Kelantan, Wan Mohamad Amin, who has lived in Endau for about seven years, said the technology gave fishermen greater confidence to continue their activities when visibility was poor.
