haven't seen one before... but that sounds to me like poking a hornets nest. i mean... even shop lots are harassed with licenses/permits/undang-undang kecil kerajaan tempatan/PERHILITAN/complaints from various parties... and those are commercial/bangunan lots. A residential apartment??? Gila ah!!
(My personal point of view)

CWG, thanks for the links. i'm still eying that data logger...

Utusan today, was informed by a friend that Perhilitan is organizing a workshop regarding the swiftlet industry;

http://www.utusan.com.my/utusan/info.asp?y...07.htm&arc=hive

there was no mention on where and what time, but was made understood from that friend it started last night 8-10pm, tomorrow and possibly Sunday location somewhere in Dengkil. Anyone here ever participated in those workshops?

Out of curiosity, how did Perhilitan announce details about the workshop? I regularly open their website, but takde langsung inform.

All i can see is that it would be an abuse of funds (of the budget). Trust me on that. Anything ad-hoc, related to Perhilitan, attended by only bumi's... nothing good can come out of it.

Dear kotmj, can you ask your mother and aunt to fill in some details about the workshop? A simple summary jadilah.

I also heard that Perhilitan itself had a Bird House in Paya Indah Wetlands... made using some sort of synthetic polymer (or something like that)??? From a friend that entered, the temperature & humidity was way off despite using mist system. Oh, did i mention there was not a single bird/nest even though it was a year old? Either they intended the BH to be a show house, or Perhilitan has no idea what its doing.

I see nothing wrong talking about politics here, the bigger picture of the industry does involve gov policies, and its them politicians that make up the government. Either way, let it be BN or Opposition (opposition here seems to be the opposite in some states), as long as they facilitate the industry... then its ok with me.

If the one-stop center will be as what you mentioned, then it would be a good thing!!! I just hope it won't be another corrupt set up... since most of the agencies involved are kinda infamous for such practices.

Here's todays;

Batang Berjuntai area. Still got people thinking that swiftlets shit on cars. And still highlighting errant BH owners. Same old same old, trust me, this new guideline will definitely cause town BH's to be eradicated at this rate.  In the past 2 months there has been more than a dozen articles about the swiftlet industry in mainstream papers... only 2-3 in a positive light. I believe some parties are aiming something or have an agenda. It just isn't by coincidence. (ok-ok, maybe i'm over reacting thinking about some conspiracy theory). Anyway, how can they blame its the swiftlet industry that caused people to move out, when the most of the time swiftlet farms are made in washed out tak laku development areas to begin with? Come on la, everybody knows Bestari Jaya is just a joke, existing only because a Jawa had a dream. I passed by the old road that day and saw the Yu Hue Swiftlet. Also saw the Selangor Fruit Valley... which looked more like an African savanna.

I heard Datuk Beh presented the Kedah guideline, is this true? Does anyone have a copy?
