The Majlis Perundingan Kampung (MPK) of Masjid Lama, Pekan Muara, Sabun dan Pelumpong labored and developed a project that was centered on sea fish, specifically the Lumai Fish Snack Project, in an effort to react to the Ministry of Home Affairs' request to actualize the dream of "One Village, One Product". With a gathering of 32 individuals, this activity profited from the collecting of BND10 from community members and villages. The preparation and acquisition of necessary supplies, the acquisition of raw materials, the washing, drying, cooking, packing, and marketing of the Lumai Fish Snack product are all included in the manufacturing phase.[3]

The people of the village work with governmental organizations and private businesses that have an interest in Mukim Serasa in order to carry out economic development activities and assist villagers like orphans and single mothers.[3]
