THEME

The theme for my coffee booklet is to introduce Chinese Fishing Village in Malaysia, Selangor. From my research, a fishing village is a village that usually located near fishing ground, with an economy based on catching fish and harvesting seafood. However, fishing had been the main source of income for people in the village but this is becoming more challenging for the reason of bad weather, people are not interest with fishing and etc. I think this is a good trip experience that pure-breed Malaysian life a trip out to the peninsula’s three east coast places which is Kuala Selangor, Sekinchan and Bagan Datoh. I would like to introduce the good element behind all of this interest places and also their kampong life style, religion place and seafood restaurant.
