Mr Google do the works for me to scout around the www and report for my morning blogging.
Today got something special to report.
This to me is the most sensible statement made by a Yang Berhormat. All this while we have many who never use their brain cell (not sure if they have any left) and what they normally try to do is to protect their seat.
" I don't care what Swiftlet Business brings to the country but when I received any complains from my people I will take immediate action. I will make sure swiftlet farming will be banned in every town with no exception."
That was the exact words that came out from the mouth of a YB who happened to be holding a key position in the same state where Dato Louis comes from.
I was so annoyed and with this kind of Minister around we, the Swiftlet Entreprenuers, are dead? It happened during my last trip to the Minister's office and he point blank saying that he was not in favor of swiftlet farming to be in operation in KK town.
Let us read about Datuk Louis Rampas statement:

Sabah Government Urged To Review Swiftlet's Ban
KOTA KINABALU, April 19 (Bernama) -- The Sabah government should reconsider its decision to ban swiftlet farming in the city and town areas, the state assembly was told Monday.
Datuk Louis Rampas (BN-Kiulu) said instead the state government should be proactive in boosting the industry which was regarded as one of the three high-impact industries by the state Agriculture and Agro-based Industry besides ornamental fish and seaweed industries.
"Don't kill the people's entrepreneur spirit. We just cannot reject swiftlet business applications (in the urban areas) simply because we do not have any guideline on the industry," he said when debating the Yang Dipertua Negeri Tun Ahmadshah Abdullah's address.
Rampas proposed relevant agencies to formulate the guideline by adopting the practice used in Peninsular Malaysia while the Wildlife and National Parks Department hold briefings on the health aspects of swiftlet farming.
He seem to be very sensible and willing to comply to our PM insperation in promoting the "Nilai Tinggi" agriculture business. The rest, in general, are dead against swiftlet farming.
They know very little about this high valued business but they seem to talk as if they are the master in this specialised field.
Without doing any investigation towards the industry they will start shooting poison darts into a dark room full of people.
Not only they make themself looks like a fool but they forgot their reponsibilites towards bringing in income and investment into the country.
