The basis and main core of Selangor Government's Exco YB Teng to ban swiftlet in shop house is that
"SWIFTLET will CAUSED DISEASES (H1N1) !"

他披露,州政府嘗試與他們洽談或許能給予延長期限,不過,燕窩商的不滿主要在於拒絕搬遷,但此事是州政府無法妥協的。
Hiya this Teng fellow is a politician. This not the first time he made hoohaa for the sake of politics. Y u think he even attack BH at paddy fields? Whatever it is, last thing we want to see this industry hijack by the politicians for political agendas.
To be fair to MB Selangor, guess his hands are tide with so many issues in Selangor, top most probably water issue. He got to sing with the loudest in Exco like Teng suppose. Kudos to him for turning hundred of millions yearly deficits to $2 billions reserve now in Selangor state. It is ashamed to know salary of MB Selangor is same as a Manager salary in private section, far from even a GM. The team deserve pay rise for $2 billion saving. Even with town council assessment cut in PJ of nearly 30% since 2008, they can still save so much $$. We should let professionals be the administrator of states and government instead of politicians like Teng alike.
GST is great, similarly with TNB hike as we are having the among cheapest electricity bill in SEA. Just like birdnest should price above 4k instead of below 2k. Action only taken after crude oil depleting fast and nobody care what the old man did in the '80 using oil money to subsidize and gain political mileage and put us in the current state now. With oil money, anyone can do wonders like in Dubai. Young generations are the ones going to suffer and clean up the $hit left over by the old man and his supporters. Question is not about price hike but how are they going to cut cost instead of continue allow leakages and corruption lost of $170+ billions yearly according to world bank data with 1.4 million civil servants on par with Greece to feed.
Omar and Chuah Junior Burger have failed us. Now Teng and supporters try to be funny. Last thing we want is the industry hijack by politicians. Bring them on to court like what Philoswiflet said to buy time.
Najib and Khalid got bigger headache than all. So learn from swiftlets how to survive one day at a time. The storm will pass, hopefully soon.
Happy 2014!
