1) On social roles, it was found that the majority of villagers work as fishermen
and most of them lack of education, especially in Islamic education, and are incompetent to recite
al-Qur’an. No Islamic education in Tadiqa or Fardu-in is taught, however; Islamic studies are
taught in government schools. There is no Imam or religious leaders in the community, but there
is a volunteer from mainland who only comes to lead Friday prayer and/or important religious
rituals. It was found from the research that some villagers still believe in superstition, the income
earned is low and insufficient for expenditure, and most villagers are in debt. The internal
interaction among community is high as there are marriages within relatives and clan, and the
external intercourse is sociable. The community lacks of accessing infrastructures such as
electricity, water, consumer goods, and sanitation and healthcare services.
