Again no offence just share thoughts. Rompin-Pekan use to be famous area for offshore fishing esp during sail sailfish season. During this peak seasons, most trips have be pre-booked for months, some even paid in advance. Unfortunately during the day of your trip, skippers made last min cancellation and gave your trip to some other group (from down south) who can offer 50% above market value. Many complaints have been ignored, so you just have to accept that's the way it works. If you can 'kopi' the skippers last min, you can grab away rights of others.

Similarly, no surprise some rich guys down south who can set up ecoparks and work hand in hand with those drafting the regulations so that the new law will lean to their favour. We already have some of our rich local boys who are playing these kind of games, when these rich investors coming in, potentially going to stir more s**t out of the industry.

Just have to live with it and make sure we dont step on it.

True. We know of these simple conspiracies. Since i am an anti-eco-park sort... maybe we should, as a very wise uncle advised, 'let rome burn' (but it sounded more like 'let putrajaya burn'). Assuming they do spend millions on eco-parks, even make legislation... 'zoning' permissible areas for BH structures, influence foreign/local investors to buy such lots/properties like this one;

biar je la. imagine 26 units of BHs in one spot. food source cukup eh? let them be. If they succeed, fine. If they don't, it'll be another black spot on the industries name.

Is this the shape of things to come for the rest of the states?
Sabah is the 1st mover on banning swiftlet farming from town.

After the ban, they have the cheek to present this new guideline as an appeasement.
Looks to me like adding salt to the wound.

网站揭露泰益家族藏富加拿大
拥三亿产业与执政党来往甚密
6月17日下午 3点30分 http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/134820

砂拉越首席部长泰益玛目的家族在砂州拥有庞大的商业网络已是众所周知,不过一家网站揭露,泰益玛目家族在加拿大坐拥超过1亿美元(约3亿2760万令吉)的产业,更是当地的社会名流,与加拿大执政党拥有密切的关系。

一个指控泰益玛目榨取砂州天然财富的网站《砂拉越报告》(Sarawak Report)在本周二刊登一则报道,图文并茂详述泰益玛目家族在加拿大的产业。

拥有渥太华市中心商业大楼

报道指出,泰益玛目的儿子玛目阿布贝基尔(Mahmud Abu Bekir Taib)、女儿嘉米拉(Jamilah Taib,左图)以及胞弟翁玛目(Onn Mahmud)在1983年成立萨多企业(Sakto Corporation),并在加拿大拥有庞大的产业帝国。

该公司的主要产业就是位于渥太华(Ottawa)市中心Preston Square的商业大厦,包括一座玻璃双子大楼以及一座现代购物中心。

“仅仅这些大厦就价值超过1亿美元,同时从一些加拿大首要企业收取租金,包括Xerox, Adobe以及Sun Life,它们租用大厦内的办公楼与零售单位。许多加拿大政府部门也位于大厦内。 ”

除了Preston Square的商业大厦,该网站发现泰益玛目家族也拥有另一栋豪华住宅大厦,从2006年开始出租。泰益玛目家族将大厦名为“阿德莱德”(The Adelaide)。 阿德莱德是澳洲南部的一个城市,也是泰益玛目和已故夫人莱拉所喜爱的澳洲城市。

儿女20来岁就任公司股东

网站指出,根据加拿大当局的记录,萨多企业在1983年成立,也就是泰益玛目出任砂州首长的两年之后,董事是胞弟翁玛目、儿子玛目阿布贝基尔以及女儿嘉米拉。当时玛目只有20岁,与嘉米拉都还是学院生。

三个月后翁玛目在香港成立了Richfold Investment有限公司,同一天也成立了Regent Star有限公司,两家公司都拥有同样的地址。

日本媒体曾揭露,泰益玛目就是通过Regent Star作为代理公司,涉嫌收取9家日本船运公司的3200万令吉的木材出口佣金。《当今大马》因为引述日本媒体报道而遭泰益玛目起诉诽谤,目前案件仍在审讯当中。

资金来自不明股东免息贷款

萨多企业的财政记录显示,它在成立的首年就投资超过700万加拿大币,其中450万资金来自股东。不过,加拿大当局是允许公司保密股东的身份。

经过10年的系列收购行动后,萨多企业的财政报告显示,该公司在1993年的资产已接近4000万加拿大币。可疑的是,萨多企业的收购行动主要是依靠2500万令吉的免息股东贷款,报告表示还未制定这些贷款的摊还条件。

此外,萨多企业还获得价值300万加拿大币的免息贷款,其中150万是“缴付给一家与股东有关的公司”。

萨多企业的其他发展计划包括在1989年11月竣工的A级办公大楼,该公司的总部就位于这个名为“333 Preston Street”的大厦内。

在90年代期间,萨多企业声称本身“通过收购与出售各种产业来继续打造其产业规模”,并从2000年开始涉及加拿大数宗最大型的产业交易,包括耗资3100万加拿大币购买加拿大科技之都卡娜塔(Kanata)100万平方公尺商业地段的超过四分之一面积,以及其他建筑物。

虽然大多的地段较后都出售给一家代理公司,但是萨多企业继续负责管理与出租这些建筑物。

该公司最近也完成了Preston Street商业广场的第二期发展计划,其中包括第二栋16层高的大厦以及庞大的商业中心。

捐政治献金给加拿大执政党

网站指出,萨多企业目前是由泰益玛目的加拿大籍女婿穆雷(Sean Murray)所管理,他在大学邂逅嘉米拉后,于1987年开始涉及萨多的业务。他在迎娶嘉米拉后皈依回教,并成为泰益家族集团数家公司的董事,不过却没有证据显示他是真正的股东。

泰益玛目的儿子玛目阿布贝基尔在好些年前已不再出任萨多股东,但泰益玛目的胞弟翁玛目,一直到2004年才卸下股东职。

穆雷与嘉米拉目前已晋身加拿大社会名流,两人在去年迁入渥太华(Ottawa)第二昂贵,总值将近3000万令吉的独立洋房时,就曾轰动当地的上流社会。

两人在当地拥有丰富的政治人脉,曾通过萨多提供政治献金给执政党安大略自由党(Ontario Liberal Party),包括安大略省省长麦根迪(Dalton Mcguinty)在2003年的6000加拿大币竞选经费。政府在2007年宣布把7个安大略部门迁入萨多的Preston Square大厦。

萨多崛起与砂州伐木业有关

该网站揭露此事是为了反驳泰益玛目在上周宣称,砂拉越土著是谦虚的民族,而且依然处于“贫穷与困难”,因此会继续支持国阵的言论。

“砂拉越许多人都在质问,为什么首长在位30年却无法提升人民的生活?数十年来的木材与石油收入去了哪里?”

“由于泰益玛目和前任首长,也就是泰益玛目叔叔,倡导猖獗与过分的伐木活动,砂州已出口超过250亿美元的木材,目前只剩下不及3%的原始热带雨林,也直接导致许多原住民陷入贫穷。”

“很清楚的,萨多成为加拿大其中一家最大的产业发展公司,与泰益玛目家族备受质疑的财富,以及热带雨林的毁灭有密切关系。”

Sabah is one of the poorest state in the country. Though blessed with abundance natural resources, beautiful mountains, beaches and islands that draw foreign tourists, where the money gone?? Why the people in the state consider poorest in the country whereby younger generations have to migrate to bigger cities in peninsular for jobs?

This act by the Sabah state government to suppress the people in SMALL TOWNS from tapping into this natural resources in the state clearly impede the state progress.

Does the state government knows how much private investors need to dig out from their savings to set up a farm in the middle of no where with the highest risk of being broken into by robbers/thieves/predators, or being robbed when you travel to/from your bh in the middle of nowhere?! Or failure to attract swiftlets due to wrong locations, or lists of bhs internal/external problems under your control and worst factors beyond your control?

Similarly, what are the major income of all the SMALL TOWNS in Peninsular? In the past, these towns started from tin minings, rubber tapping, palm oil plantation etc but now? Younger generations are moving to big cities to find jobs. Old folks staying back, business winding up, closing down. What to sustain operation of these SMALL TOWNS in the country?

Think this is the major reason government shall continue to support this industry in towns. Yes, may be YOU can try to be funny, suppressing the people livinghood.

Question:- How long can you suppress?

For the last 50 yrs you have subsidising the people and telling them everything ok, dont worry about globalisation, GDP grow by +10% this yr (but tat was comparing with worst GDP of last yr ... bl**dy conman trying to manipulate economy data and got caught), crude oil will last till heaven knows, proton can compete can sell in international market, manufacturing all doing well here, corridors corridor and more corridors to attract foreign investors more likely turn into white elephants etc. How long can you con the people. One day when the bubble burst, truth shall prevail and thereby you will get buried for eternity.

淡屬引燕業崛起
文德甲產業搶手

(文德甲21日訊)隨淡屬養燕業的崛起及蓬勃發展,文德甲的產業市場可說是又旺又搶手,而且舊店價格也節節上升,市區近60%的3樓店鋪被改建為燕屋。
據市場了解,目前大部分產業投資者是養燕業者,或準備進軍養燕業的投資者,所以在近年的新建店屋設計一般是3層樓或以上,目的迎合市場需求。

當地產業價格上升的其中因素也是基于“物以稀為貴”,因為市區建築物已非常密集,所剩的發展空地有限,以致舊店、新店或準備興建的工程都很搶手。

產業市場人士指出,市區的店鋪售價在近10年上升至少50%,原因是建築材料價格飆漲外,也因市區的店鋪發展供不求應,養燕業也是帶動產業市場的其中因素。

“店鋪價格基于地點而定,目前位于熱鬧街道的3層樓店屋價格介于85萬令吉或以上,比早前30多至40萬令吉差距明顯,有的舊店還叫價100多萬令吉。”

位于熱門區的店鋪租金也相當昂貴,樓下租金可達到5000至6000令吉,以往的租金是2000至3000令吉,目前2樓的租金價格大約是800至1000令吉。

店鋪改建燕屋

“至于3樓的店鋪,大部分業者都不出租,而自家作為投資養燕業之用,目前文德甲市區的3樓店鋪有60%已被改建為燕屋,相信燕屋數量會繼續增加。”

由于市區範圍的發展空地有限,所以不少的店屋發展計劃紛紛朝向寶林園及文德甲通往淡馬魯路一帶,目前有不少大型的發展工程已如或如荼展開。

在房屋業方面,買屋者的比例比買店者稍微低,產業市場人士認為是文德甲的房屋業已漸漸飽和,不過靠近市區範圍的地點還是很搶手,而且價格也是偏高。

Over 60% of shoplots in Mentakab has been converted into swiftlet sanctuary and more will follow suit as the local economy is so bad that ordinary malaysians have no other means to earn a living to feed their childrens.

and thks to these keepers, the property market there are seeing a boom with rental peaking and even old shoplots are now selling at 1 million a unit.

焦點地區:高陽苑金泉路商業區

(雪蘭莪‧巴生)高陽苑金泉路商業區養燕活動日漸崛起,卻影響距離店屋100公尺的公寓居民,不僅日夜遭受高分貝電子燕聲干擾,更令外界誤會居民自行養燕,屋價連帶受影響滑跌20%。

高陽苑維斯達蘇達公寓居民協會投訴,有關店屋不分晝夜播放高分貝燕聲,使最靠近店屋的A座公寓居民深受噪音干擾。

李德炎:波及屋價下跌

居協顧問李德炎指出,公寓約有5年歷史,約有4座各4層樓高單位及560戶人家,以前居民以每單位約10萬令吉購置,但現在屋價已跌至8萬令吉。

他說,其中一項原因是店屋的養燕活動所致,從2年前的2間店屋增至目前的10間店屋,而且日夜播放電子燕聲,令居民無法在家中享受寧靜片刻。

盼業者控制音量和時間

他週六(6月19日)向哥打阿南沙區發展協調官連英才投訴時說,居民並非反對業者在店屋進行養燕活動,只吁請有關業者控制音量和時間。

“很多有意購買公寓單位的公眾,在參觀單位時以養燕發出噪音為由而不敢購屋,令空置單位脫手不成,繼續滯銷。”

他說,以往業者相當自律,在晚上7時30分便停止播放燕聲,惟隨著更多養燕業者加入競爭,業者開始全天候開啟燕聲,製造不必要的噪音。

“幸好店屋後方最近興建一排新店屋,可有效遮擋部份的音量,否則情況更糟糕。”

他說,當中首當其沖者,是住在A樓4層的160名住戶,他們如果在晚間開窗納涼,就會聽到吵雜燕聲,無法安寧休息。

因此,他吁請業者以自律、有良心及道德來進行養燕業,且在不影響別人日常作息下作業。

連英才促雪速公佈養燕業指南

連英才敦促雪州政府儘快公佈養燕業指南,加以管制業者遵從准則作業。

他建議雪州政府,規定凡在住宅周遭養燕的業者,必須徵詢當地居民協會同意下,才能獲得養燕執照,以免養燕活動日後影響居民的生活。

曾遠明(53歲,A座3樓居民):燕聲噪音影響工作

“我是一名工程繪圖師,最近才開始在家工作,因此經常聽到燕聲噪音。

這問題存有一段時間,希望業者能給予關注,如果居民家中有小孩,他們的聽覺就會受到干擾。

以前業者通常在晚上10時就關上燕聲,但現在卻早晚不停播放高分貝的燕聲,令我們受不了。”

再依拉查里(41歲,A座居民):影響孩子溫習功課

“我剛於一年前搬到這裡已有噪音問題,早晚都聽到煩人的燕聲,無法安然入睡。

此外,我的孩子也準備應考大馬教育文憑考試,然而噪音令他無法專注溫習功課。”

Ordinary malaysians mostly not anti swiftlets as in this case, the residents too said that they are NOT trying complaining to stop swiftlet keepers from keeping swiftlets in shoplot but to tell them to control the volume and time turning on the sound.

thts why,

i strongly suggest to all keepers in Selangor to becomes a member of Selangor Bird's Nest Association.

if they have done that all their farms should have a sticker with the association contact no. and if the residents cannot contact the keepers they can still call the association to complain.


please tell all your friends to register.

if any of u need information or need the registration form, i do not mind sending it to them at my own cost. i am willing to even collects the forms from any farmers at my own cost.





hope that the association will elect a neutral figure as the president of the association...

we don't site with any party as our main purpose is to represent the ordinary keepers in selangor.

please becomes a member and you can participate in electing the new committee members in July 2010 (which is just two weeks from now).

In my opinion, there are 2 types of people choose not to join Swiftlet Associations because:-
1. They don't know - Many people still don't know there is a swiftlet associations in their area. Is Swiftlet Associations job to go to each BH distribute flyer and educate them.

2. They know but the entry fee is too expensive - to those successful BH, RM3000 to RM5000 entry fee is nothing as compare to their million dollar BH. But to most of the newbie, they always have this questions, "What is the point to spend the money if my BH only has few nests or worst nothing".

I am sure if swiftlet association can adjust the entry fee based on the number of nests in the BH, a lot of people will join. Example RM500 for nests < 100 counts.

Most of your local Swiftlets Associations only charge afew hundreds as entrance fee and little annual fee to maintain office expenses. The Associaiton need some fund to utilize in case of emergency and urgent matters to handle.

Most of those BH owners who didn't join are mostly ignorance or tidak apa altitude. Many of the BH owners here that didn't join up are those who refuse to believe that the govt. will tear down their BHs and those who never wish to cooperate. Some even boost that so and so, VVIPs or the YTP is one of his close friends.

It is just like the case that farmers plant all the fruit trees but if the fruit trees bear fruits, the monkeys do have a share in the fruits.

That's the problem with us, Malaysian. Our famous "Tidak Apa" altitude and someone did mentioned that we have been sleeping since MERDEKA and after so many years, we are still sleeping and dreaming as our country still have alot of richness in it but these, one day will end and so will Malaysian.

We have everything and yet we are behind so many countries that don't have even half of what we have and yet our leaders still claim that we are better then many other countries; all corrupted countries. Can't we compare with the better one like our neighboring tiny small country, Singapore!!!!

Since you are a member, then it's your right to seek answer from the Association. Failure so, gather enough members (by then, many of member must feel the same, right?), kick their Ass and put someone there who will do the job. If you can't do it, I am famous for kicking Ass around if you care to ask around, hahahaha...........


No offence intended as always.

网站揭露泰益家族藏富加拿大
拥三亿产业与执政党来往甚密
6月17日下午 3点30分  http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/134820

砂拉越首席部长泰益玛目的家族在砂州拥有庞大的商业网络已是众所周知,不过一家网站揭露,泰益玛目家族在加拿大坐拥超过1亿美元(约3亿2760万令吉)的产业,更是当地的社会名流,与加拿大执政党拥有密切的关系。

一个指控泰益玛目榨取砂州天然财富的网站《砂拉越报告》(Sarawak Report)在本周二刊登一则报道,图文并茂详述泰益玛目家族在加拿大的产业。

拥有渥太华市中心商业大楼

报道指出,泰益玛目的儿子玛目阿布贝基尔(Mahmud Abu Bekir Taib)、女儿嘉米拉(Jamilah Taib,左图)以及胞弟翁玛目(Onn Mahmud)在1983年成立萨多企业(Sakto Corporation),并在加拿大拥有庞大的产业帝国。

该公司的主要产业就是位于渥太华(Ottawa)市中心Preston Square的商业大厦,包括一座玻璃双子大楼以及一座现代购物中心。

“仅仅这些大厦就价值超过1亿美元,同时从一些加拿大首要企业收取租金,包括Xerox, Adobe以及Sun Life,它们租用大厦内的办公楼与零售单位。许多加拿大政府部门也位于大厦内。 ”

除了Preston Square的商业大厦,该网站发现泰益玛目家族也拥有另一栋豪华住宅大厦,从2006年开始出租。泰益玛目家族将大厦名为“阿德莱德”(The Adelaide)。 阿德莱德是澳洲南部的一个城市,也是泰益玛目和已故夫人莱拉所喜爱的澳洲城市。

儿女20来岁就任公司股东

网站指出,根据加拿大当局的记录,萨多企业在1983年成立,也就是泰益玛目出任砂州首长的两年之后,董事是胞弟翁玛目、儿子玛目阿布贝基尔以及女儿嘉米拉。当时玛目只有20岁,与嘉米拉都还是学院生。

三个月后翁玛目在香港成立了Richfold Investment有限公司,同一天也成立了Regent Star有限公司,两家公司都拥有同样的地址。

日本媒体曾揭露,泰益玛目就是通过Regent Star作为代理公司,涉嫌收取9家日本船运公司的3200万令吉的木材出口佣金。《当今大马》因为引述日本媒体报道而遭泰益玛目起诉诽谤,目前案件仍在审讯当中。

资金来自不明股东免息贷款

萨多企业的财政记录显示,它在成立的首年就投资超过700万加拿大币,其中450万资金来自股东。不过,加拿大当局是允许公司保密股东的身份。

经过10年的系列收购行动后,萨多企业的财政报告显示,该公司在1993年的资产已接近4000万加拿大币。可疑的是,萨多企业的收购行动主要是依靠2500万令吉的免息股东贷款,报告表示还未制定这些贷款的摊还条件。

此外,萨多企业还获得价值300万加拿大币的免息贷款,其中150万是“缴付给一家与股东有关的公司”。

萨多企业的其他发展计划包括在1989年11月竣工的A级办公大楼,该公司的总部就位于这个名为“333 Preston Street”的大厦内。

在90年代期间,萨多企业声称本身“通过收购与出售各种产业来继续打造其产业规模”,并从2000年开始涉及加拿大数宗最大型的产业交易,包括耗资3100万加拿大币购买加拿大科技之都卡娜塔(Kanata)100万平方公尺商业地段的超过四分之一面积,以及其他建筑物。

虽然大多的地段较后都出售给一家代理公司,但是萨多企业继续负责管理与出租这些建筑物。

该公司最近也完成了Preston Street商业广场的第二期发展计划,其中包括第二栋16层高的大厦以及庞大的商业中心。

捐政治献金给加拿大执政党

网站指出,萨多企业目前是由泰益玛目的加拿大籍女婿穆雷(Sean Murray)所管理,他在大学邂逅嘉米拉后,于1987年开始涉及萨多的业务。他在迎娶嘉米拉后皈依回教,并成为泰益家族集团数家公司的董事,不过却没有证据显示他是真正的股东。

泰益玛目的儿子玛目阿布贝基尔在好些年前已不再出任萨多股东,但泰益玛目的胞弟翁玛目,一直到2004年才卸下股东职。

穆雷与嘉米拉目前已晋身加拿大社会名流,两人在去年迁入渥太华(Ottawa)第二昂贵,总值将近3000万令吉的独立洋房时,就曾轰动当地的上流社会。

两人在当地拥有丰富的政治人脉,曾通过萨多提供政治献金给执政党安大略自由党(Ontario Liberal Party),包括安大略省省长麦根迪(Dalton Mcguinty)在2003年的6000加拿大币竞选经费。政府在2007年宣布把7个安大略部门迁入萨多的Preston Square大厦。

萨多崛起与砂州伐木业有关

该网站揭露此事是为了反驳泰益玛目在上周宣称,砂拉越土著是谦虚的民族,而且依然处于“贫穷与困难”,因此会继续支持国阵的言论。

“砂拉越许多人都在质问,为什么首长在位30年却无法提升人民的生活?数十年来的木材与石油收入去了哪里?”

“由于泰益玛目和前任首长,也就是泰益玛目叔叔,倡导猖獗与过分的伐木活动,砂州已出口超过250亿美元的木材,目前只剩下不及3%的原始热带雨林,也直接导致许多原住民陷入贫穷。”

“很清楚的,萨多成为加拿大其中一家最大的产业发展公司,与泰益玛目家族备受质疑的财富,以及热带雨林的毁灭有密切关系。”
