Beachgoers at Tanjung Asam and Teluk Bayu, Gertak Sanggul, near here have been advised to be cautious during low tides as certain poisonous marine species, including the pale-edged stingray, were active in shallow waters. Bayan Lepas assemblyman Datuk Azrul Mahathir Aziz emphasized the importance of vigilance for those visiting these beaches, especially during this period of very low tides expected to last until March.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Datuk Azrul Mahathir Aziz highlighted the increased activity of pale-edged stingrays and other poisonous marine life in the shallow waters during low tides. He advised beachgoers to exercise caution or avoid entering the water altogether during these times to prevent incidents.

The warning follows an incident where a 10-year-old boy was stung by a pale-edged stingray at Pantai Tanjung Asam. The boy was promptly rushed to Penang Hospital for treatment. Datuk Azrul Mahathir Aziz extended his sympathies to the affected family and expressed hopes for the boy's speedy recovery.
