On April 14th 2009, YB Ronnie Liu of Selangor officiate a well organised forum between the Government sector and the BHs Owners.
The forum was held in Sabak Bernam, Selangor attended mainly by 150 BH owners from Selangor, Local Government Officers and Head Of Departments (Local Councils).
I was asked to be one of the invited speaker in the day's forum together with a Dr from Veterinar Department of Putra jaya.
From the open discussion both parties put forward their point of views and overall I can see that this approach will benefit both the state and the BH operators.
YB Ronnie seem to be very concern on every complains put forward by the participants and if both parties works towards a win-win arrangements I believed Selangor will go far in swiftlet farming.
The motto taken was that Selangor is the "Ideal State to be In both for Investment and be a Resident".
YB Ronnie took the carrot plus a stick approached while he take into considerations of the complains he also insited that all BH owners must bring down the sound level and ensure their BHs are cleaned and painted.

I was reading a press report from The China Press on Saturday. Ronnie Liu brought up 2 worrying points - 1) All BHs within commercial areas must be relocated within 3 years, 2) No cofeeshops can be operated on ground floor if BH is on top floor.
Point (1) has been argued by many already which I don't have to mention again.
On Point (2), it seems that he has a misconception about BH's cleanliness. Perhaps he mix up with grass swift which set up nests at lima kaki. What about pigeons, sparrows and crows, aren't they more hazardous to public health, are they going to be killed or relocated ?
