My worst fear had happened. This is a letter from one of my friend in sarawak.
"

Today I received the worse news ever!  The forestry people also asking
people to open up the stand along BH in agriculture land.  My friend
in Sibu gena and tomorrow morning he has to confront the enforcers.  I
did the wrong decision in submitting my stand along BH to forestry.
The forestry has broke their promise.  They promise that as long as we
submit our agriculture land BH they will give license.  Now we only
realize that they are fooling us just to fish information from us by
providing the location of our BH to them.  The forestry here is a
bloody IDIOT!  " Sarawak farmer.

The operation will start tomorrow in Sarikei where it may last sometime as it want 2 inspect over 100 plus units including
shoplots, industrial lots or even standalone(those not under agriculture land). Very sad to note that there stil operators playing sound esp inside sound in the town knowing those forestry official already in the town.Can we not cool down til we find way to deal with them than to confront now. I was told these operators dont care as you know they are empty BH. Please advise bro esp from W.Msia what we need to do. Most of us remove everything inside for fear of summon. Believe thousands of baby birds & eggs r destroyed. help........

I would suggest to register the exiting and completed town BH within a cut off date. Allow the exiting town BH to continue operate and ban new BH in prohibited area. The reason being the more additional new BH in town, the more complains will be received by the town council from public. It will put tremendous pressure to the local government to juggle the situation. State government needs votes from public too and public voters against breeders voters ratio can be as high as  99:1 in favour of public. Which side do you think the government will be given priority when drawing out a public policy ?
When the new BH in prohibited area is ban, new investor will have to follow the proper procedures to build the BH in a designated area and there will be less complain from public.
As a whole, It will help the BN industry in the long run because over supply of the BH in Malaysia can be contained.

look like not fair 2 say ban new bn but rather "BAN THE SOUND "both externally or internally. No operators
wil dare 2 invest new bh without music on, while those existing bh wil stil able to survive with old birds. of course the growth wil be slow depending on the how sucessful r the existing bh. As i have mentioned earlier even with the forestry ranger in the town, those empty bh stil on the sound as they r some too happy to see " all bh demolish ". So for those genuine operators wil
definitely follow the guidelines to invest elsewhere successfully. So "BAN THE SOUND" totally in the town to ensure survival of existing bh. In our case here, we can build standalone bh away fr town on agricultural land classify under Sub urban or Country land where sound pollution or complliants wil be minimised. I was one the earliest operator but nobody know about til
3 yrs later. The secret r ; -never change externally structure, mininum sound, cleanliness, dont show off, friendly 2 ur neighbour and others. This is only my view, please. Thkq

Sarikei friend,

How is sarikei now??...
*
Today 4bh r raid, among them is the first bh established in sarikei, near the coffinshop. The rangers took about 300gm each of nests and shit as evidence. No accessories or tweeter r taken as most established bh already compile 2 the dateline. Though, bh near coffinshop has not harvest all nests, the ranger also only took the same amount of nest or shit. I believe they may use them to sue us if the AG of sarawak agreed to take action. Most operators say they r most happy if the govt can take them to court to settle once for all whether we r rearing birds or providing sanctuary. These rangers say they want these operators to give statement, my foot statement 4 what? we r not doing anything illegal just to make somehard earn money. Sarikei is known as famous "SWALLOW TOWN" because of its seasonal migration flying swallow. Economic activities is limited to agri commodities til coming of white gold, swiftlet birds. Prices of shophouses shot up and suddenly those abondoned lots like in tamam susur Jembu were sold off. Bro.lucas 1 mentioned earlier request 4 YBs help.This famous YB manage 2 sold off all his abondoned shoplots and wash his hands.Stil able to recal that he promise 2 help get license if we purchase his industrial lots. He is now hiding & more than happy 2 c bh demolish so that his future eco park near Bintangor could sell like hot cake.

TO ALL BH OWNERS IN SARIKEI, PLEASE REMOVE ALL UR ACCESSORIES/TWEETER BE4 THESE RANGER RAID UR HOUSE. TQ

I am sharing my experiences and don’t choose to quarrel with any one. The swiftlers feathers oil extracted comes a yellowish green in color and a combo of feathers, nest and two other ingredients which I promised Pak Han not to review come looking like blue color but once diluted are green. All new foundations are found on areas I applied the feather extract.

The bad news as you all know is that my BH was shut down by Forestry Department since last Friday. 12 pairs still come back to roost and two new nests are being rebuilt despite that there are no ext. or Int. music. So tell me Mr. Expert how TO MOVE THEM TO ECO PARK ???

Raid by Forestry Dept. they name operation D-Day is still ongoing in MIRI,Serikei,Kuching and next will be in Sibu and Mukah. Many very depressed and desperate BH owners who are unsure of what the future holds of them and their family.

May the people who are encouraging the shutting down of BH with the agenda to promote their Eco Park, be curse for the next 3 generations. The aspired promoter of eco park in Sarawak who shamelessly  used the GAHP in Kuching to promote his Eco park is coming to Miri to see me for what he call a discussion. I will see what he have got to say.

The operation in Sarikei is ongoing which will cover industrial shoplots soon. The rangers r quite friendly as we also give them our cooperation as most of them r also very sympathy to the operators. Many operators r new with their hard earned saving dump into this investment. Actually these operators have little knowledge on swiftlet farming, hence ending up paying high price on the so cal "Consultant OR CONman". Even carpenter or wire technican or new owner or anybody r the swiftlet conman but luckily those raiders save them. My advise to operators to take off everything inside bh be4 those raiders come.
Just want 2 know r u refer to ur listed co name N.. from miri interested 2 start ecopark. agreed with u that these people wil know why so many unfortunate accident happening to their loved.....Sarawak is so huge with swiftlet farming suitable all over the coastal areas. Dont tel me u r not going to allow poor kpg folk to put simple bh to make living. Why? Big n small all they want to make. Pls dont be too much as one day u wil realise why so many .........happening. So take my word, hand off to ecopark.

Swiftlet rearing provides ecological balance: Tiong

SIBU: Swiftlet rearing can have a positive impact on the environment as it helps in the ecological balance, which is important for the survival of plants and animals.

Sarawak Timber Association (STA) vice-chairman Tan Sri Datuk Tiong Hiew King said as one of the balancing agents in the ecology system, swiftlets had been known to eat up insects and other pests.

“In addition, places with low population of Aedes mosquitoes are those with many swiftlets,” Tiong said yesterday, adding that recent studies had shown that swiftlet farming had positive bearing on the environment.

In this connection, he hoped that swiftlet farming is encouraged in Sarawak.

“I hope the authority would work closely with swiftlet farmers to formulate good management and environment-friendly procedure on the venture. This will also ensure the growing swiftlet population in town,” he said at the tree planting campaign in conjunction with National Landscape Day at Lorong Lada 8A/2 here.

He, however, said swiftlet farming was just one of the facets to maintain ecological balance in the environment.

Tree planting was just as important as it helped in greening the environment.

I have always respect and admire Tan Sri Tiong's wisdom n contribution esp 2 chinese education, media, missionery works, social, enviromental and many others. I wan 2 share that Tan Sri is also involved in bh busincess but do u think for investment as he is already so rich. No, his bh r very successful showing the luck n fung shui of this humble man has. I am sure that these swiftlet birds bring fortune and luck to those successful operators. we provide sanctury to them in return they bring white gold to us. Where in the world got people have such heart 2 destroy them like those raiders doing now.
However in Sibu, so called Dr Hu who need to advertise himself( no business due his 2 BIG CANNON) is demanding council 2 destroy all birds in the town.The bird shit near his clinic prevent his customers coming is his reason 2 destroy bird. Luckily we got new qualified councillor, Patrick who is supportive of eco system wan 2 plant more tree 4 these beautiful birds.There r also another very impt selfish political not supportive as he sacred to loss in next election. He is supporting the on going operation.
TO ALL THOSE FRIEN WHO CANT GET ALONG WITH OUR SWIFTLET BETTER THINK TWICE AS SOMETHING UNPLEASANT MAY COMING 2 U SOON...........
