Some blame the Government for their poor state of income. They believed that the Government owned them a living just because they were borned and raised in their country.
In Malaysia we become too much dependent on the Goverment subsidies. Our petrol are subsidies, or diesel are heavily subsidies, our roti chanai (malaysian pancake)are also subsidies, the chicken, the rice, the flour, the fish and so on.
We become a subsidised nation and we tend to become a bit lazy to work. This causes many Malaysians, young one, not willing to carry out jobs that are labor intensive. So here we go, we open up the work opportunities to foreign labors. When there are too many forein laborers, we actually kills the works opportunities to the local.
It is sad facts which we created ourself and of course we blame the Government..
Anyway I was just trying to start up this article about how lucky we are in the sense that our country is rich with so many wealths from both above the ground and below the ground.
My back ground is a drilling engineer and I used to work on those floating drilling rigs. I used to stay all night long just to wait for those black gold to start flowing from as deep as 7,000 feet up to the rig floor. Well base on years of working experiences, I would like to tell you that we, Malaysia, have abandunce of oil, gas and gas condensate. In the first place there are a kind of natural sources where the oil and gas are being produced.
Above the ground we are blessed with fertile lands where we can plant another kind of Golden Colored liquid producing plant that we call Palm Oil. This wild plant originated from Africa/South America and now with various technologies using tissue cultures we can have the best fruits per harvest per acre that brings lots of smiles to the plantation owners.
Beside palm oil, we have another kind of Gold that God sent to all of us. This is the Swiftlet Edible Nests (Birdnest).
Our equitorial climate and thick forest seem to be a good source of insect producing environment. There are tons of insects being produced by these green trees every year. They are the best food source to these wild swiftlets.
No one knows where they came from. Some claimed that they are from those caves in the deep interiors, some says that they were breed in Indonesia and some claimed that they are species borned and raised in Malaysia.
Whatever they are from, I for one would like to thank God for bringging them to our beloved country.
The swiftlets seem to have an ability to fly for 48 hours non stop and their speed was said to be about 120 kilometers and hour. This would mean that they can fly anywhere that they wanted to but they prefer to be in our country plus our neighbouring countries, of course. But what about Australia, New Zealand, China, Rusia, Japan, Korea and so forth? I came to the conclusion that they seem to love Malaysia and its neighbouring countries but not those countries mentioned.
They prefer the type of insects produced by the thick jungle and those padi fields plus those big palm oil plantation in the Malay Peninsular....
I am very facinated on their behaviors and after reading so many books I am entrique over their choosing of our country.
This particular picture show you the areas which they are said to be found.
This illustrative map was taken from my reference book called: Swiftlets of Borneo. For more details double clicks on the picture and study what I see. If you can spare some money just get the book from MPH.....
We are blessed with Golden Colors Gifts from that "Guy Above" and they are found both below and above the gound surface .....
We must always thank God for his blessing and those beautiful gifts. To me the best is the white gold, the birdnest, because they are cheap to harvest. Oh ya, just to let you know, to drill one oil well it can cause U something like 30 million US dollars ..... If you are thinking of Palm Oil, well RM10 million at least and lots of hard work ....
So just make a choice which Gold do you want to harvest ......
