Exploring the fishing village of Pasir Penambang today, I was greeted by sunny faces, colourful houses and a lovely blue sky. With the current hazy weather, this was something unexpected but wonderful.

A little further up the mouth of the Tengi River is a rustic village on stilts. I photographed the fishermen’s wharf at Bagan Yu from behind a net.

Tanjung Sepat is a quaint fishing village that enjoyed a tourism boom of late, thanks to a new phenomenon. Hundreds of day-trippers flock there on weekends with single-minded purpose. The urbanites’ primary intention is to get a picture of themselves complete with thumbs-up or V-sign pose. This is due to the intense competition to post pictures of themselves camwhoring at rural settings for their Facebook or Instagram account 🙂
