Well, well,well…………very noisy over here…..it seems so many started crying………sigh……… cry.gif  cry.gif

I remember those days DL already predicted what would happen in the end of the days like today by depending on those idiots from the so called Federation Asso whom he knew too well as he ever worked with them long time ago……DL ever said…..never never never trust these few top idiots to negotiate for all of u…….many didn’t believe just bcos the biggest idiot is a Dato…… These people should go to Kedah to find out about this idiot Dato’s dark history…….and also the idiot from Malacca and the one from Kuantan……..

DL has been fighting for all in the industry since early 2000 across the whole country at his own cost despite he didn’t own any bh outside his hometown in Kedah……he led a big group in hundreds and thousands of locals in 2003,2004 and 2005 picketed, confronted and forced the former Penang BN Govt finally succumbed to issue licences to all the BHs. He resolved the Malacca BH crisis in 2002. He mediated, negotiated and arranged meeting for the Perak BH owners, opposition leaders and the former BN Exco, Dato Chang to sit down together and happily resolved those problems given by the Perak Civil Service and BH licenses issued in 2004 ……DL also in respond to the SOS received from Mukah Bh owners assisted and supervised the Sarawak owners to resist the white hair Govt’s nonsense during the Sarawak crisis in oct 2008 ……He openly whacked a certain corrupted dept and highlighted their wrong doings in his speech without fear in an official workshop organised by the Vet Dept in June 2009.  Many Govt depts feared of him…….But that bloody idiot group for own hidden agenda ganged up to isolate him…….

Numerously, DL had been appealing to all the ‘small fries’ to stand up and come forward and form their own localized associations to take care of their own immediate interest instead of trusting and depending the idiot group to do also on their behalf, but not many heed his advice thinking that the Dato would also fend for them…….In the end, see what has happened today??? From bad guidelines to worse…. mad.gif  vmad.gif

After more than a decade of fighting for the interest of the BH owners in the country and most of them he didn’t even know or meet with, and all these are on his own cost. Many owners agreed to come forward to join in and support him but with lip service only……when come to work, everybody has very good excuse…..The family felt it was time that he should retire from all these social services as he had already done and contributed more than his own share and in fact, even more than many who combined and also he was too tired… So, he retired completely since mid last year…..  Today’s scenario is actually within his prediction before he retired…he already forecasted this outcome…..His only advice is if every small fry were to gang up, it is more than enough to drown even an elephant…….it is time that some new leaders with righteous, sincerity and dedication and without fear among the small fries emerge to take the lead by organizing and rounding up others locally first…. and spread to all……before too late…….He reminded that remember, never never trust the idiots…..u can work with them but never be dictated by them….. U can get the dept to listen to u also…….The federation Association does not have full representation of all…….it is only in name they sound big…..but there are many other existing legal BNest Associations with equal standing that are not associated with them and did not give them the mandate…… If every man wants to be only good and silent man and dared not to speak up and fight for JUSTICE, in the end, all of them will be killed by the bad man one by one.

For those who are interested to know the Bnest industry history and its predicaments so far faced, u can flip back from the beginning of this forum. Anyway, I also already very seldom surf this forum any more at least for more than 6 months…..tonight, so happened accidentally entered, only managed to glance through a few posts ……don’t think have much time to chat like those days again………btw, before his retirement, DL ever mentioned dusuntutmybuntut with assistance from west wing and the rest could be made a good leader to organize and spear head rclxms.gif  rclxm9.gif …..so, have a good thought…….good luck and bye……and good nite……

Dear Lucas 1:

It's so nice to have u making some noise here.

Never been tired to read your posts, in fact I like to read them again and again and again..

I have been waiting for you to write something here since last year September. At last, you show up again.

Btw, u r also a good leader, willing to sacrifice, being righteous and speak up for others.

Have you already retired also? We need you to take the lead.

Thank you.

Happy CNY and Chap Goh Meh!

Received SMS from one of my Swiftlet Friends, and drop by, wow so many noise cry.gif noise of crying vmad.gif doh.gif rclxub.gif sad.gif
Friends from nearby countries Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam etc. are watching this forum. They are laughing ! rclxm9.gif

"From the people, and back to the people" is what our PM are doing recently - 1Malaysia spirit. I am SURE our PM already heard the "NOISE" you all make here. If nothing change, I am sure many Swiftlet Farmers will come out, united-Street protect like what tansn said. Again our neighbor laugh ....clap rclxms.gif

Brovo ! to ALL who make noise louder and louder.

Received a good article from a friends, share here with PM and all.....

"你是否和我一樣,發覺身邊的親戚和朋友,似乎少了許多。
I wonder you feel the same as me,all the sudden I realized friends and relatives around meseems to get less and less.

以往接近過年時,各種聚餐排得滿滿的,而今年,似乎沒聲沒息。
Those years when the New Year drew near, all sorts of gathering appointments almost completely filled the diaries, but this year seems so quiet.

即使是平常日子,電話少了,與大家見面也少了。
Even in nromal time, phone calls become less and less, face to face meet upalso become much less.

也許,大家各忙各的;或者,目前流行“宅生活”,儘量避免出門。
Perhaps, everybody is busy with their own tihings, or perhaps, nowadays people prefer to stay in.

也不盡然如此。再想一想,很多老友和親戚,已經不在了。嗟!大吉利是,他們都還好好的,只是離開了馬來西亞。
However, it is not entirely like this, thinking further, actually old friends and relatives are not around any more. God bless, they are still alive and well, they just left the country, Malaysia .

去了中國大陸開工廠;王子不做工程師,移民到澳洲開小食檔;阿風離開本地大學,去香港做講師;青蛙去了台灣,開展事業第二春;還有的到了美國、英國,唔,還有去印尼的……。
They have gone to China to set factory; ah Wang quit his engineer job and migrated to Australia to set up his little food store business, ah Fong left the local University went to Hong Kong as a lecturer. 'Frog' went to Taiwan to pursue his second career life. Others went to Americia , England , even Indonesia ...

起初,以為這只是個別現象,逐漸的,旁人也有同樣發現;原來,這不是個別現象,而是社會現象;這不是少數,而是相當大的數目。
At first, I thought these are individual cases, but gradually, people around me realized the same, these are not individual cases but a general symptoms of our society. they are not small numbers but the pretty big indeed.

外交部早前披露了一個數字,說明這個現象是多麼真實,多麼貼近。
Department of Foreign Affairs released the figures earlier, it confirmed the situation is real.

從去年3月到今年9月,已經有30萬大馬人移民他國;其中20萬人是今年1月到8月出走的數目。
From March 2008 thru September 2009, a total of 300,000 Malaysian migrated to other countries, among them 200,000 left between Jan - Aug 2009. (in 8 months)

累積下來,已經有超過200萬大馬人移民,接近今天印尼外勞在大馬的人口。
Cummulatively, there are 2 million Malaysian migrated, this figure is close to the number of Indonesian workers in Malaysia today.

不同的是,移居他國的大馬人,多是專業人士、中產階級。
The difference are, those migrated are mostly professional and middle class people.

他們有很多出走的理由,追求事業發展,為了孩子前途,尋找個人更大空間……,概括一句:對馬來西亞失望。
They have many reasons to leave: pursue career development, for the future of their children, in search of better life and environment... In one sentence, they lost hope of Malaysia .

50年前,大家說,馬來西亞真好,好過香港,甚至日本。
50 years ago people said:Malaysia is very good, better than Hong Kong and evenJapan .

30年前,大家說,馬來西亞還不錯,比得上韓國、台灣(不提香港和日本了)。
30 years ago people said:Malaysia is not bad, comparable to S. Korea and Taiwan . (No mention of Hong Kong and Japan any more).

20年前,大家說,馬來西亞還可以,至少超越中國、泰國(不能和台、韓比了)。
20 years ago people said: Malaysia can do la, at least better than China and Thailand (Cannot compare with Taiwan and Korea lah)

10年前,大家說,馬來西亞再差,還不至於像越南、印尼(中國已是不同級別)。
10 years ago poeple said: No matter how bad Malaysia is, cannot be worse than Vietnam and Indonesia ko-ah. ( China is already in a different category).

今日,越南和印尼的經濟成長率遙遙領先大馬,社會活力和知識發展也勝過一籌;距離愈來愈近了。
Today, the economic growth rate of Vietnam and Indonesia already far exceeded Malaysia , Social activity and intellectual development of the country is also better, the gap between us and them is closing up.

怕甚麼,還有菲律賓和柬埔寨、緬甸。
Why worry? there are still Philipines , Cambodia and Myanmar behind us.

但是,一位經濟學家最近到菲律賓考察之後,認為再過20年,大馬可以取代菲律賓,出口馬籍女傭到全世界了。
However, according to an economist who recently surveyed Phillipines, he think in 20 years' time, Malaysia can replace Phillipines to become the World exporter of Malaysian maids.

半個世紀以來,馬來西亞是在大宅院裡,用封建方式,分配祖宗家業,消耗社會資源,浪費和逼走人才;不談競爭力,忽略生產力,討厭績效制。
Over half the century, Malaysians live in the big old imperial housing complex, closed up and survive on properties left behind by the ancestor; continue to consume up social resources, wasteful, and drive away talents; they never talk about competitiveness, totally neglect productivity, and hate meritocracy.

然而,其它國家面對風暴,走出風暴,進行體質改革,跨步向前,登上另一個水平;大馬卻還在原地踏步。
However, just look at other countries in our neighbourhood, they stand up, face the storm, and walk out of the storm. They overhaul the system, improve the processes and march forward, they moved up to a new level. And Malaysia , still walking on the spot.

馬來西亞,該醒一醒了。
Dear Malaysia , it's time to wake up! We are very very late now!"
[cool.gif

1Malaysia can change! Our PM will help, you have our support. PM is really speak from his heart and not just as a politician when he mention of a true Malaysian race; united, one for all and all for one.

DON't let our neighbor LAUGH AGAIN !

Happy CNY and Chap Goh Meh! Cheer ...

Thanks to the those who use EM and share it here! Anyone who wants to buy it can PM me, it comes in 20-litre drum. Wish I got the time to fill in 1-litre container.    rclxms.gif  rclxms.gif

You can't just use it - you have to activate it first. Very few em seller tell you how to do it.
Another easier alternative is to use bokashi - just sprinkle it liberally on top of the shit.

Bokashi is made from rice/wheat husk. EM is added to rice/wheat husk and stored in an air-tight container for a few weeks and then the content is slow dried and then stored. Doesn't need activation.

In order to do this there must be a mass consciousness. Very much like that of a laser light. A 1 watt laser light can cut steel and yet a 1000w lamp can at best barbeque a steak.

There are just far too many napoleons and self-serving individuals in the industry. Anyone who disagrees would literally be hounded and pounded into submission.

The industry itself gets what it deserve - that's the law of nature.

It is in the nature of a bloated civil service to impose more and more rules to sustain the bloat. The BN industry is not exactly a very new one but only in recent years it got a lot of unwanted and unneccesary publicity.

Milton friedman's "free to choose" is a compelling account of how a bloated civil service and a highly structured governmental control mechanism will kill off any industry in its sight. HongKong is an interesting case study when contrasted with india after the second world war.

The government should understand that their role is not so much to regulate but to facilitate. This doesn't mean there shouldn't be any regulation but the regulations must be to serve the greater good of society. Countries such as indonesia, thailand and vietnam had demonstrated greater degree of ingenuity and development mainly because there is basically no regulation. Taken to extreme this is no good. Whatever regulation that is being passed must balance out the contradicting demands of the industry and that of the society.

The 1GP is a lot of hogwash where guidelines do not support the objectives but work contrary to it. Those who came out with it must be able to defend it at a public forum - either online or in real life.

This guideline come under the purview of muhiyuddin. There is a strong current whisper that he may be going for the number one post. Will he use this issue or can this issue use him ?

At the end of the day the national guideline is only a guideline and states are not compelled to follow it. As I had said umpteem times before the real work is at the state level. Does anyone know what is the PR stand on this industry in the PR managed states ? I believe tok guru is supportive of this.

There is no Goliath only little davids. But the problem is that everytime any little david tried to speak their mind or offer something to nudge the industry in a particular direction they are intimidated - criminally - by some thuggish forumers.

What could you do ? What is one thing you could do that will make a substantial difference to the industry ? Look at the "forces" that are now driving the industry - it is definitely not the farmers/sanctuary providers but developers with mega finances and governmental links. It is not the government that you have to fight with but these quiet and hidden insidious influences. Such cartel-like strangulation of competition in any industry had been used time and time again throughout history and all these often was possible due to artificially imposed regulations.

How do you counter them ? Don't !!!

Education is the best tool you have. Educate enough people on what is really going on in the industry and you will have enough little davids to bring down any goliath. It takes time and you may argue that time is what you do not have. I submit that time is the only thing that we have.

Developer's sole reason for being is development. One thing many could do at this point in time is to bring the industry into a grinding halt. Educate as many people as possible of the uncertainties and advise them not to invest in the industry for now.

Will swiftlet cities work ? Time will tell.

Hackwire,
Dont take it personal, it takes all kind to make society.
1)I think I can confidently say majority would like this problem to go away, so they share a similar objective.
Not everyone is a natural leader, those who post here are the more out spoken ones.
If it gets any worse and there's a confrontation, the leader fit for the moment will appear amongst us.
Am sure DL (David Lim fyi) would hv similar feelings in the early days (self doubt, loneliness, unappreciated etc..).
Most times, you dun get to consciously step up to take leadership, just happens.

For now, there's no one apparently leading.
That's OK too, cos at this pt in time, educating the farmers of the impending calamity is what must now be done.
A nucleus leadership group will form naturally out of this chaos.

Apologies, preaching again.

All,

Would like to take the opportunity while the veterans/sifus from the last war are here (come down from smoky mountain? biggrin.gif ) to ask a few Qs
1)Do we need a plan of action?
2)Current objective?
3)What, whom, when

Just my opinion if we we take the classical way, it will end up sadly... at the source of the problem?
1)I see a lot of us scurrying to spread the news...so many will now know, so? They will start looking up to the obvious..their assoc.
Do the assoc have a direct line to the guy with his fingers on the red button? NO!, so the assoc look further to the usual characters who were in the 1st place up there representing us.. which shd have prevented this in the 1st instance..so? Dun stop the spreading oif the news cos' it is war breaks out, we need soldiers.
2)The battle front is a little diff this time, the last war it was the enforcement (foot soldiers in the nidst of destroying you)
what we have this time is the prospect of war.
3)Need to (in a real world scenario) resolve this 'politically' and we sure as hell not want the same reps to represent us.
Where does that leave us?
4)We need to launch a pre-emptive strike of public opinion. Also the adversary get to retreat with grace w/o bloodshed.
What say you?
I hope to trigger more discussion and hopefully some good ideas will appear and we can each take away things to do in the days ahead to prepare.
Or the majority wish to continue venting/ranting and wait for the war(w/o organised opposition) to break out and then...?
Just my 2 bit.


Added on February 26, 2010, 5:24 pmglobalexm,
Were the guidelines shared on yr site and any reactions?
How would you rate their reactions if any?
tenang? marah? mengamok?
Its ok to revert in BM, just that I cant respond well in BM, maaf.

very good feedback , cergau. i guess when old sifu gone into hiding, new blood arise but lack the aspiration due to other hectic schedule.

but old forumers did mentioned a few names to lead but i think the best thing to do now is to start consulting your lawyers, consolidating your business history and weaponry to defend your exisitng BH.

New BH owner will probably wait and see till the end of first quarter.
Anybody interested to hire me to setup a bird farm magazine?

thumbup.gif Dear Friends, Thanks for the fighting spirits. If we all are stand united, and with the Financial Clout that BH owners have, we will be able to fight any unjust regulations of evil scheme. I fully support we need to have a strong Federal BH Association where the leaders are elected by the members and accountable to the members and fight for the benefits of BH owners. Current so call Federal Association is "kosong" and a joke. We cannot continue to let jokers representing us. May I proposed with the 1) current leaders such as DL, WW, ChanK, Dr Tan(Johor) and other trusted leaders be Elected as Federal Level protem Committee. 2) RM 200 or more be collected by every BH Owners in Malaysia who want to survive, 3) Appoint a professional Audit company such as Ernest & Young, or KPMG to help them to kick start this effort with proper secretariat effort. 4) Create a pro tem Bank account under the appointed Audit company to collect funding for the Federal Association. 5) Rent a reputable office for the Federal Association. 6) Conduct monthly meeting to ensure the Government listen to our needs! We need to act now or never! thumbup.gif
QUOTE(ChanK @ Feb 26 2010, 10:03 PM)
We don't just cry....don't worry, we are heard. Loud n clear.

We have sent SMS to many farmers, and many are working round the clock to seek more info n are investigating n are connecting to those involved to seek help.

Many local associations are been sms thks to DL (David Lim) from perak, kedah, penang, johor, kuantan and many more..
They are a few bro's here which also had make contacts with govt n some industry players to see if we can find even more info.
DL and others are trying to find more volunteers mainly near to the federal capital to help/assist in communicating with the officers whom are mainly stations in putrajaya.

with the dyfunction of the so called federal association and the inability of our selangor bird's nest association which resulted in not able or not cares in monitoring the situation that is happening now ( believe me, they are liked that, even last time when we have big problem in the garis panduan before the meeting in seremban, when offered a copy of the garis panduan for them to read and tackle the problem, they refused to take the copy as they only want a copy officially send to them by the jpv.!!

Those soh hai (sorry....bp up again) really think that they are somebody that will be respected??..if the previous GP is been approved and then only send to them...what the F they can do about it??...

So, hoping that the association can protect ur butt...is more likedly a Hope.

during the meeting in seremban, only one guy had drafted and prepared a paper to present it to the officers. All of the association top players only went there n discuss about what they will tell the officers a day before the meeting.

So, when david was scolding the officers, these soh hai in fact are enjoying their time there laughing when they heard David screw the perhiliatan on the tax issues...so tell me, do they cares much about the issue.

to them, they trust in acting liked a dog, lick the officers shoes and think that by doing that they will get what they want.

and if they don't get what they want for the mass, at least the officers will gives face to them n not take action on their farms...

Thts the reality here...and its been liked that for over a decade...
those associations are just the few bad apples ( even Selangor bn association had previously done a very good job...but not anymore...).

Luckily, more n more good local associations are been set up, and that also from the advice of DL to all the local farmers.

instead of depending on the few Top Useless industry association to cover ur butt....why not protect ur own rice bowls urself!.

now u know why those bastards association top players hated DL so much and trying to push him aside.... i seen them doing it in seremban. and this including selangor bn participant who knew nothing about the contribution of DL in this industry and also sided with the horse n lee !!..
I think we are heading to the right track with the setting up of more n more local associations in all states.

but we urgently need a FEDERAL or MALAYSIA bn association as the head of all these local associations to tackle federal issues which is the license.

we need to set it up FAST!!..

THe so called Federal bn association which claimed to representing the whole malaysia bn association in fact do not even get any support from his own state, which is kedah.

So tell me, who he is representing?? he himself.

So u want this guy to protect ur butt?...u can kiss ur butt goodbye!.

ChanK,
thks for the only good piece of 'good' news.
May I request you ask DL if it's proper to ask those assoc that are friendly to authorise him (or his association) to represent them for matters related to 1GP with the authorities?
I do not think we can get any new association operational in time for this purpose. (thus my suggestion above).
It gives his representation legitimacy (the authorisation from the assoc).
But pls go ahead to form the alternative assoc for the longer term, I am IN.

Engineer Lee, we missed you.

Had a good meeting. I don't know what i can do now, but i target to inform more Malay owners about the issue... personally if need be. Wish me luck.

ChanK, say where and i'll be there for the formation meeting. An association should represent the industry properly.

Will have limited inet access (since last week).

Im the victim of a new Entrepeneur.

I want to start this new business but according to the law not jungle law created to cause my saving and hardwork wasted like that.
So i started to research and take seminar. I found Low yat and it gave me a good insight and transparent stories , knowledge, news , red tapes and passionate farmers .

Usually, if i need an info on something i will surf for the company website, govt website , society, forum etc.

But when comes to the Association of Bird Nest.... I don't even know where they are located, theres no Map of their office etc . in the first place Google only search their name when some News published their association name.

Now , when 1GP is about to be formulate, i kinda think this is gonna be a laughing stock of Malaysia Guiness Book of Record. Mana hantu - hantu ini ?

I think this Goliath forget that newcomers will alway like to look for mentors and seek info . U go to other sport association, all committees were there to help or create events...

Now , my question is whether the authority should revoke fake associations? how did the authorities qualify these association in the first place? I also like to find out how many like you had found the same problem like me..?

Please, an alternative association might be one form of solution. DL, give the word and i foresee many joining.

Some PBT's guides/forms for swiftlet activities.

MDSabak Bernam

I am assuming other locations use either a composite form or a temporary permit form and refer to the KPKT guideline i posted previously. Imagine when full authority is given to PBT to regulate SSP's...

Hi everyone.

My name is James and I am a neewbie and this is my first post here. I have been following this thread for sometime as I find it very interesting and full of information for my my new found interest in birdnesting. By chance I was introduced to this business when one of my friends had a interest and i started my so called information research on the industry. I have a question and maybe i have missed out on reading it somewhere in this forum but i would appreciate if the passionate and/or knowledgable masters here could help asnwer these questions of mine:

1) What is the difference between wooden and concrete sturcures for BHs? Most of the ones seen and mentioned are mainly concrete structures.
2) Are there some downfalls with wooden structures?

I would greatly appreciate if someone could enlighten me on this... Thank you in advance

Several years ago, in Penang, an alternative association was proposed, to be headed by these same people but they declined for personal reasons. So, it was left as that until the end of 2008 when as usual, the day of reckoning approached and then again everyone scrambled to get an active association going, and all went quiet when the authorities gave another years' grace.

During that period, a group in Penang formed ASNI. When ASNI was finally registered the membership drive produced very disappointing results. Before the registration excercise, birdhouse owners expressed their support but when it come to putting money where their mouth is, they backed down. It was back to the usual " wait and see " attitude.

ASNI reps took the trouble and at their own expense , met Penang authorities, as well as meetings with Perhilitan, Veterinari, Kesihatan, Building and planning, and various other departments in Putrajaya, together with other related associations, throughout the whole of 2009, discussing the formulation of a National Guidline for Swiftlet Ranching.

That been done, everything went quiet whilst the cabinet ministers, politicians, MPs etc fought each other from one scandal to another. So the birdsnest industry waits for the guidlines.

Throught the thick of all the meetings, Dato B was active and went to all the meetings in Putrajaya, spearheading the cause of swiftlet ranchers. Dato is a respected figure in Government circles, judging from the response he receives. Whatever the case may be, Dato has more to lose than most of us put together if the guidlines resemble what we have seen in the past. I believe, Dato is using all his influence to protect his investments and in doing so protect ours as well.

Due respect must be given to DL, a good friend and especially as one who has led me through this melee. DL had almost single handedly postponed the destruction of many birdhouses in Malaysia, where were all of you then when help was needed. Yes, DL was a rabble rouser, he got the people going when there was a fight but when the whole issue subsides, they ditch DL sooner than they change underwear. Did those people DL save thank him or even supported him when needed ?

For whatever reasons, DL will always fight for the oppressed, be it swiftlet farmers or ordinary rate payers, unfortunately DL does not have the clout within the government.

So different weapons for different situations.

As for the " latest Draft Guidlines " " 1GP" , it looks suspiciously like an old draft, an unofficial release. Hoax ?

If you feel that your local association is not doing it's job, join(which you should have done so long ago) the association and change the committee and get the job done. If you are in Penang, Join ASNI

Don't sit in front of the computer discussing, go do something about it.

May I ask the same question again although if you think that I am repeating myself. The 1GP that found on the site seem like an old GP and are you sure that it is the ONE forwarded to the cabinet for discussion?

Many of the things stated questionable and like an old guideline mentioning Layang Layang, the number of few hundreds BHs and so many other mentioned in the 1GP......hope someone really do know the answer cos I don't want the blind leading the blind and in the end, we all sound stupid..........look stupid.
