Kandang Babi III

Salam,

I read today’s Utusan. I am a little bit more concern on the Pig-rearing project in Sepang now seeing today’s headline. Yes, i believe that they are just trying to make the new government look bad. But i have my concern because of the pictures showing that the environment around the current Kandang has already been badly polluted. It’s kind of funny they are putting all the blame on the new government. In addition, they are quoting the Ketua Kampung. As many people might be aware of, these ketua kampungs mostly are not willing to work with new government as they feel that they only work for BN. Thus, i think they are just voicing out BN’s agenda and not what the people around there think.

The pollution does, however require some attention. I don’t know if the admin has already take a look at the condition there. Based on ONE picture, it looks kind of serious. If the NEW modern technique of Rearing Pig that is being introduced will not be able to clean that mess up. I will say NO to them. But if yes, Yes, PLEASE!

Bak kata orang tua mat saleh, kill two birds with one stone. Clean that mess up and swipe off the other pig farms around the state.

Just as my last post, the description given sounds promising IF done AND supervised carefully. I also read that the farm will be indoor, Air-Conditioned!

Whatever it is, CLEAN THE MESS UP! It’s FREAKING FILTHY, currently.

Additional Note: The ketua kampung in the Utusan was even brought all the way to German to see the technology. Quite some investment there quoting what he said in Utusan. He said he still disagree with the project although he has seen the modern technique but I still wonder where was him when the former government approved the project. I WONDER….

Kepada Penentang “Kandang Babi Moden”

Salam Alaikum,

More explanation has been given. The MB has already spoken and these are taken from Teresa Kok’s blog who made the issue popular.

The project has been approved by the previous government in the meeting on January 30th, 2008.

The new government feels that there’s nothing wrong with it and verified the approval on April 2nd’s meeting.

The area in Ladang Tumbuk, Mukim Batu Kuala Langat is already used as the main pig farming area in Selangor.

The project passed the high standardization by Kementerian Pertanian dan Industri Asas Tani, Kementerian Sumber Asli dan Alam Sekitar aka The Federal Government Standard.

All waste product of the farm will be used for electricity generation and water as well as food production for the farm’s usage.

No more pig farm will be approved outside the area and all pig farms will need to move to the area. This move is to ensure the easiness to control the operation in which everybody will have to agree, needs an extensive care to keep them clean.

The state government also feels that they intend to do a one stop farming for other farming products.

Now, to address specific issue by certain individuals, the area is already there and has been used extensively by pig farms. Thus, it should not be a “NOT IN MY BACKYARD” issue for the people there as they already have it there. It will be bigger, more control, and modernized method to ensure cleanliness.

Ok, Salam Alaikum.
