This could be Malaysians and keepers only lifeline left.

there is a saying that " We need better politicians and govt dept officers,

NO, What we need is a better citizen."
Watch the above video, over and over again. Your kids need you to do something.

Thanks for the video on Rebacca's place.
It's either that her properties has plenty of insects and possible mosquitoes breeding ground and the swiftlets are having a good time or that's a really good location for a BH?

Rebacca dear, Care to sell?

Unfortunately Rebecca is not a mat salleh ! She's a Malaysian. Father was a planter,,,I think,,, and mother chinese.

Just yesterday I read a post by our very own  m'sian swiftlet idol cum adviser cum passionate enthusiast about how he convinced a newbie to build a standalone bh on his piece of land after testing the area with good macros even telling him he is onto a goldmine  with the possibilty of making  the area into an ecopark.
And here comes the THE SHIT..... HAVE THIS BH BUILT AND GET
READY FOR THE TOWN BHS TO BE KICKED OUT.
THat post has been taken off possibly he sensed his mistake. He had been an adviser to a number of town bh owners n getting well paid for his services.
Imagine paying good money to him to tell u get ready to be kicked out n he is laughing all the way to the bank.
How do u describe such a hypocrite ?  Just beware of this guy born with distorted genes.
There u go on consultants , advisers !!!

Low investment for new comers. Only 60+ k

Containers BH provides an alternative choice for the newbiz. Swiftlet farming failure rates are high and no one commands the swiflet language, some have made very thorough survey, provides 5 stars environment, complied to all the basic requirements of what swiflets wanted based on the experience of the successful farmers, engaged the same consultant to put up the identical BH in all aspects plus sound nearby the successful BH but birds are not staying. The so called renowned consultants can't answered why.Only God knows why as we are not swiftlets.

Many said the ideal temperature is 26-29, right humidity level is 80-90. Who comes out with the formula? The successful predecessors / swiftlet farmers? How many knows what sort of smell the swiftlets actually like? All are based on what so called surveys and past experiences. But these experiences do not apply to all as many BHs with temperature at 32-33 and lower humidity are doing very well. Some even harvesting the birdnest whereby birds are still in the birdnest next to it and the birds not flying away. Who said the BHs must have birdshits around and the smell must be there? There are successful BHs which are very clean. Some owners go in with cigaretts and birds are still occupying. Same aroma may not useful to the other.

If all can be controlled, the failure rate won't be that high!! What one need is to provide and complied to the basic requirements of a BH. Containers if well insulated can also be converted to a successful BH. SO long the temperature is not way out.

Newbiz should not use large capital to start the first investment, start small , gain experience and after the first one is generating good income then re invest is more advisable then start big and invest into a big concrete structure.Container BH can easily last 20 years or more if well maintained. you may invest with full confidence that it is an ideal location, best design by a famous SIFU, six star environment etc. Only God knows whether the birds will stay or not. At least the container type can relocate and you won't lose all your investments.

Concrete structure may last for a few generations, but we do not know if by then birdnest still in good demand or not. Who knows by then it is so expensive only a handful can afford and demands drops ? When the world resources exhausted and everyone go back to basics? Or some better products available at cheaper price ?

To friends who are fortunate enough to have a few very successful BHs, you need not past all or so many to your next generation. Set up a trust fund and donate to the needy and less fortunate, (such like old folk homes and the hadicappeds) is more meaningful as for the time being it generates constant income to them. For those who survives and benefited shall appreciate more of your contribution and you will be remembered for generations. It is good for the swiflets also as they have donated their efforts to help the needies.

West wing, solely my opinion, no arguement. The world will be peaceful if everyone is rich. Rich in wealth and in heart.
Your next generations may not work and only spend if they do not know what to look for in their life journey. So look forward to Bill Gates and Warren.

Good luck to all swiflet farmers.

Which brick is harder ?

Ground flour walls = double layer clay bricks. (Mainly for security reason, insulation not really necessary because it's ground flour)
1st flour = Double layer bricks with outer layer clay bricks, inner layer silica bricks.
2nd flour and up = single layer silica bricks or light weight concrete bricks.

Note:
My engineer friend told me light weight bricks have lousy sound proof property then clay bricks. Don't know about silica though.

I wonder how to break in if we use steel/concrete doors? Go in through monkey house would be suicide unless they have tactical gears. 

Gong Xi Fa Cai to all 

hi Bobby

hope this news article will give you some idea of BH licensing situation in Teluk Intan.  Some 500 licences were issued there.
