I don't understand how the Mchip is going to trace to the source. There are many thousands of BHs (assuming 20/80 successful/unsuccessful) producing very little qty. The middle men I assume buy from all over and accumulate them for further processing. IF, the Mchip is applicable to processors only, that is fine. But it doesn't mean the EBN is truly from Malaysia as processors can and should be able to process EBN from other countries. But if the Mchip applies to BHs, then this is truly idiotic bureaucracy at its finest.

2ndly, what is to prevent an enterprising fellow to pirate someone else ID? This Mchip I'd imagine will not be very hi-tech to keep its costs down.

0% nitrite. How can that be achieved? Anyone knows? Or is it a problem processors need to figure out? At the top of my head, perhaps repeated washing during processing can get it down or some kind of chemical/detergent wash (non-toxic of course)?

Thirdly, export thru Thailand/Indonesia. If the tax savings are not great after the implementation of all these cost-enhancing activities, they will not transship thru Malaysia.

4thly. Break the buyer marketing channel monopoly. Easier said than done. But truly, if this is not settled, you will never get a fair price for all your hard work. Classical economics at play. Many sellers 1 buyer. Perhaps selling through internet channels can bring about the change. I was chatting with 1 Chinese lady last year and she said online biznesses are sprouting everywhere in China.

Lastly, election may be just round the corner. let your grouses be heard. Perhaps asked why this industry has been specially selected for govt intervention when they have not provided any value add to this industry and why this industry has been targeted to implement Mchip. Malaysia export many other stuff without Mchip.
