I would love if the National Geographic do a documentary on us providing Swiftlets Sanctuaries as they may even paid us to ensure that the swiftlets population increases and that we must ensure the nests are only harvested after fledgling. Also that the swiftlets remain free and wild and no one should domesticate the wild free flying swiftlets.

Only thru this method that the world know about us and would help us to protect the species from harm and destruction......... that all town's BHs be gazetted as protected swiftlets sanctuaries............well, I can dream, can't I??????????

This is a violation of our basic rights.  Any law that violates the constitution is null and void.

   Entering any private land or building by enforcement agencies without a court order will turn us into a dictatorial country.

Added on February 23, 2010, 8:20 amThis new law will kill off the industry.  Is there no public hearing or any parliamentarians sympathetic to the cause ?

many times new association failed in attracting farmers to join the association as they want to collect a substantial amount from each farmer. during the setting up of selangor bn association, at the first meeting, the speaker even tell all farmers that they are not joining a pasar malam association or selling salted fishes association. this is a privilage association so need to charge a reasonable fees to enter!!..

WHY ANYONE WANT TO GIVES U MONEY WHEN THEY DID NOT SEE THE RESULTS?

we can't blame them, the majority will think like that. but they are those minority that think for the longer term and they are willing to pay for that.

so, instead of setting up an association with only less than 20 members..why not 20,000 members association??

Remember, members are ur bullets when confronting with the govt!. not datuk not who who?

if we continue with the trend here and letting the now dyfunction Federal association to continue with their tactics / hidden agenda...our rice bowl is over!.
yes, thts the respond from all the asso members asking whether this is in fact the real doc that will be tabled in the cabinet.

Anyone have contact with Dr fadzila? can we call her up and send a copy to her to ask her if this is real?.

Received information from a PBT officer about 1GP that

ONE OF THE CONDITION WHERE ALL FARMERS NEEDS TO BE A MEMBER OF THE FEDERATION ASSOCIATION IN ORDER TO APPLY FOR A LICENSE.

THE PBT OFFICER IS VERY WORRIED WHY ALLOWED ONE ASSOCIATION TO MONOPOLY THE WHOLE INDUSTRY?

THIS IS GETTING VERY VERY ALARMING...

THTS WHY THE 1GP IS BEEN HIDDEN AWAY???......
