Reading news about arowana breeding in Bukit Merah,

the problem with many farmers are now converting their padi field into arowana farming are getting out of hand. Complain received from the surrounding padi farmers and after the present MB checked the status and discussion with both arowana farmers n padi farmers. The MB decided that the govt will only allowed 450 acres of padi land to be converted to arowana farms. All existing arowana farms in bukit merah will maintained and been directed to convert their agriculture lands into Tanah pertanian industri.

The MB had stated that this is not to affect the existing arowana farmers as it is a new industry and helped the govt to generate more foreign income.


Most of the arowana farmers are indebted to the MB and will remember what he did to them and will support him on the next election!.

It takes him 3 months to settle the problem.


So, how about this industry?

I guess sometimes those online should really go out n look at the world a bit.

don't act liked a katak in a well.

over 30% farms in town do convert their grd floor into farms as most of them are situated in small towns and they mainly consists of 2 storey shops.

Most of them converted into farms after the grd floor been idle n rotten for many years.

not liked those shops in BIG TOWN where most of them are 3 storey to 6 storey, so, they can TALK COCK that small town owners should not convert their grd floor into farms. ( my Personal Opinion loh!).

Some of them even are Single storey shops and THEY ONLY HAVE ONE FLOOR TO CONVERT AND THEY ARE HARVESTING 2KG A MONTH.


well...getting bored. actually. peace.

CONGRATULATION !!!!!

After A survey done by all the local farmers , we have calculated that the total no of shoplot farms in the whole malaysia is at (As At March 2010)


130,000


Hurray !!!!!!!!

We are only 20,000 short from OUR PM target of 150,000 farms !


Thanks to all the Good hearted and hard working Farmers, We had done it without any helps / assistance financially from the govt.

Bravo !!!


While waiting for the so called 1GP to come out, we will be able to reach the target of 150,000 shoplot farms ...hopefully. We will try.


Thanks to all the farmers support of the local economy, all hardwares, contractors, workers,local coffee shops, transporters, and electricians are doing brisk buz and are smiling all the way to the bank.

some of our farmer friends also had converted their ground floor into farm after left idle for 10 years. They had reserved one area abt 10ft x 10ft in the front part of the shop and this they will rent it out for FREE to local poor residents that wish to start a small buz such as grocery or hp shop.

THIS IS VERY BRILLAINT idea !!!! We all should follow!!!...do it !!....

Listen carefully, Political strategist's of Barisan Nasional, if u are here n if not the adviser of our beloved PM, pls forward this message to the yang berhormat.

130,000 shoplot farms equal to RM50,000,000,000.00 ( Minimum) of investment that ORDINARY Malaysians had fork out from their own hard earned money, some mean it is their only capital left.

RM50 Billions !!!!

from our survey, each farm in fact feed at least 20 family members! father, mother, grand father n mother, son's n their family, daughter's n her family.

THat is equal to 2,600,000 of Self Employed Malaysians that totally depended on it to SURVIVE.

if You want to destroy their rice bowls, u are putting 2,600,000 peoples into Unemployment and these peoples will not be able to find a job, will go bankrupt, will commit suicide, will turn amok!!!.


do you think you can afford to do that?


We are going to meet and we will reach the target of 150,000 shopfarms !!!

While surveying among farmers on the number of shopfarms in Malaysia, a lot of them who do buz in the ground floor of the shopfarm had said that their buz are not doing well at all for the past 5 years.

Most of them said that if not because of the income that they collected from the upper floor farm, they will not be able to sustain the buz and pay salary of their workers and make payment of elec, water, cukai pintu n etc.


average they employed about two workers to help out in the ground floor shop. so, with estimated about 50% of them operating buz in their shop n upper floor converted into swiftlet farm. the total number of local workers that they employ is 120,000.

and if the govt really think that swiftlet farms only benefit farmers.....U better think twice.


Those officers in charge of the 1GP better go ask the nation Economy Adviser, what can we do with these group of malaysians that are mostly in rural area? can we find them jobs? can we do something to push up the local town economy so that their buz can survive?

NO!!!....its been liked that for over 5 or 8 years !!!.... the rural area economy is a piece of shit!!!

we used to do good buz when all of the factory workers are been paid good salary with OT and they can afford just about anything, be it new bicycle, new bikes, new cars, new shirts n etc. They are the biggest customer range that we have but they disappeared overnight when factory started to close down, no OT, n most of them are now unemployed.


N the shrinking FDI for the past 5 years means no new investment capital coming from abroad !!...how are we going to improve the local town economy?


and one more thing, what will happened with the aging folks in rural area?? if they got swiftlet farms, they don't have to worry about their future when they get older...and this mean the govt don't have to worry about how to sustain these group of malaysians, they are self sustainable!!.



so, better think properly before doing anything hastily for the sake of fast cash but losing over 10% of the votes that u can easily get for the rest of ur Political Life!!


i am sure u guys can read ENglish as most of u are highly educated and graduated from England and speak fluent england.

Politicians in Malaysia should Act Smart inside n outside.

But, unfortunately, they wear smart, act smart, look smart but still their brain just too slowed n dumb.

there are many ways to make money, if u are smart enough, u will look for other ways to earn money and still can win voters heart and continue to service them for rest of ur life.

but they are those so stupid that they listen to some buz man proposal to earn fast cash and they just follow without thinking....then they are stupid n dumb.

end of the story.




the above comments had nothing to do with the below newsclip.


大臣：燕窩需求量日增
登農業地准改養燕

本報特派：黃慧芬

（佛山20日訊）登嘉樓州務大臣拿督阿末賽益指出，隨著燕窩需求量日增，州政府將根據業者需求，批准農業地改為養燕工業地用途。

他說 ，目前外界對登州生產的燕窩需求量達每月2000公斤，供不應求。

“由于環境衛生，登州生產的燕窩品質比其他州有過之而無不及。”

阿末賽益昨晚率領登廣直飛商貿團成員，在佛山佳寧娜酒店出席“佛山市、登嘉樓州友好之夜”活動后這么說。

阿末賽益披露，目前已有一家私人公司獲州政府批准，將一片坐落甘馬挽的農業地段重新划為養燕工業地。

他指出，州政府將指示市區內的養燕業者，在限定期限內遷離市區，確保該領域發展未影響人民日常作息。

他說，登州養燕業者亦將在該行業投入5000萬令吉，惟州內有待開發更多養燕區。

物色理想地段

他呼吁業者尋覓更適合的養燕地段，並指示登州行政議員杜振耀協助物色更多理想的養燕工業地段。

他較早致詞時說，除了促進馬中情誼，登廣直飛團也有助加強登廣雙邊關係。

登州政府也在大臣及佛山市副市長鄧偉根見證下，與南非駐佛山市綜南進出口貿易有限公司簽署商貿意向書，探討雙方在燕窩工業領域的合作空間。

謝偉也是南非粵港澳總商會會長，他代表上述公司與登州政府秘書拿督馬茲南雅簽署合作意向書。

出席者有登州行政議員杜振耀、馬來西亞駐廣州總領事館領事長法蘭西哥姆尼士，及登廣直飛商貿團籌委會主席劉保章等。

首個對外貿易生產基地
佛山有85項外資

佛山市副市長鄧偉根指出，登嘉樓州政府與工商代表團到訪，將增進雙方了解和推動合作，加深馬中友誼。

他說，作為中國首個對外貿易出口商品生產基地，佛山目前已形成全方位、多層次和寬領域的對外開放格局。

他披露，全佛山市去年利用10億1300萬美元，實際利用外資18億7400萬美元，引進36個投資上千萬美元的投資者。

鄧偉根指出，目前有48家世界 500強企業，在佛山投資多達85個項目。

他指出，國際經融危機爆發，造成佛山經濟發展遇到前所未有困難與挑戰。

“認真分析經濟形勢及深入研究企業發展概況，科學謀划應對之策，在逆勢中率先突圍。

他說，佛山市在2009年完成地區生產總值4814億5000萬人民幣，增長率達13.5%。

佛山市產業發展鮮明
工業經濟佔主導地位

佛山市位于中國廣東省中南部，地處珠江三角洲腹地，總面積為3848平方公里，人口近600萬人。

佛山現轄有禪城、南海、順德、高明和三水5個區，是一座具有1300多年歷史的文化名城，明清時代為中國“四大名鎮”。

文化底蘊深厚的佛山市，是岭南文化發源地之一，被稱為“南國陶都”，也是“南國紅豆”粵劇發源地，素有陶藝、武術、獅藝和粵菜之鄉等美譽。

佛山市產業發展特點鮮明，工業經濟佔主導地位，目前已形成家用電器、機械裝備、金屬材料加工與制品、陶瓷及其他建材等十大優勢行業。

被確立為國家級新型工業化產業示範基地的佛山市，由光照明、光電顯示、光伏產業等逐步形成規模產業鏈。

陳友信：馬中商貿合作
須跨越語言障礙

馬來西亞中國經濟貿易總商會副會長陳友信指出，馬中兩國商貿合作關係，必須跨越語言障礙。

他說，該會宗旨為馬中經貿關係，由傳統華商進化至不分種族，並且不詣華語的非華裔商家。

他說，馬建交超過36年，雙邊關係日益密不可分，中國已成為我國其中一個最大的貿易伙伴。
他指出，登廣直飛商貿團是歷來最大，來自東海岸前往中國的商貿團，此舉有助帶動兩國貿易合作。




# the trend now is very very funny.

the govt or buz man know very well that the locals cannot afford to buy expensive Eco Park farms as most of them who involve in this buz are all tight up with loans n abandoned shoplots.

so, they went to CHINA to ask chinese to come to malaysia to invest in Swiftlet Farms.

and if u are smart enough........u know what i mean.


ok. take for example. the govt said that they now want to share the country resources of crude oil by asking China to come to buy up oil fields in malaysia !....


So, same scenario. govt ask all malaysians to close all swiftlet farms in town and let the china peoples to own the farms, harvest n then ship back to china to process then sell in china.




THIS IS BLOODY BRILLIANT IDEA !!!.



Now. Today news is even more EXCITING !!!


now, new act required farmers to sell to ONLY A FEW LICENCED traders.


SO, IN NOT SO FAR FUTURE.........NESTS PRICE WILL DROP UNTIL RM2K BELOW.

HOW THEY CAN DO THAT??

EASY!!!!


GRADE THEM TO MANY LEVEL. THEY WILL STILL ABLE TO GIVES U RM5K A KILO PROVIDED THAT UR NEST ARE IN TOP NOTCH QUALITY WHERE IT IS FREE FROM FEATHERS, NO HOLES, NO TINY DOTS.

NEXT GRADE, RM4K, WITH NO FEATHERS, NO HOLES BUT ALLOWED A FEW TINY BLACK DOTS.

NEXT GRADE, RM3K, WITH NO FEATHER BUT ALLOWED 1 OR TWO TINY NEEDLE HOLES N NO MORE THAN 5 BLACK DOTS.

NEXT GRADE, RM2K, WITH SOME FEATHERS ALLOWED ( U MUST BE THANKFUL TO THEM TO LET U SELL THE NEST!!!)

NEXT GRADE, U EAT UR SELF LOH!!!!!!



WAH, FUN LAH!!!! 1MALAYSIA !!!

With the proposed amendment of Animal Protection law where minimum ONE Year Jail term for offender : these few buggers and their BOSS should be chain n bring to the court for Justice !!!.







Still remember this ? :














Those who proposed to the GOVT to demolish/ dismantle / move/ ban Town shop Sanctuary and those who Help/Suggest To the govt to close all grd floor farm should also be proud of ur doing.

You should copy all these photo's and make it into a Calender and shows it to your childrens, grand childrens, and great grand childrens what good deeds u have done !.


Moving ?? Shut Down ???


while u can said it so easy, why not u come down to our place where we have quite a few farms with grd floor alone have over few thousands birds. We can pay for ur transportation expenses and ur accommodation cost.

You can come down and show us how to close it down !. How to kill thousands of young chics, juvenile birds and thousands of adult birds.
