YB Ronnie Liu's Open Discussion With Selangor's BHs Owners !!!

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.

Sabak Bernam Forum On Swiftlet Farming !!!

Two days in Sabak Bernam (SB) Selangor with Selangor's Local Council's Officers and Birdhouse Operators.

The two days were fantastic. There were at least 70 officers from all PBTs from Selangor on the first day.

On the second day the organiser got about 150 BHs operators to meet YB Ronnie Liu of Selangor State Exco.

For the first day I was given the opportunity to give a talk about "Swiftlet Farming In Malaysia".
I delivered a 45 minutes talks while with me was a Veterinar Officer and Manjung PBT section head.

After delivering or talks we took turns to answers queries from the floor. Very interesting and I believed those who attended learn new things that will make them better in implementing the states policies.

After the 1st day talks we were given the opportunity to visit a few BHs in Sabak Bernam one located in town area and the other in an agricultural land.

Ayer Tawar Perak, Lots Of Birdhouses !!!

While on my way to Sabak Bernam, Selangor, stop to visit a sick Birdhouse in Ayer Tawar, Perak.

A small town about 10 minutes drive to Setiawan Perak.

The owner was delighted that I arrived on time from Bukit Mertajam, Penang. I started about 12.00 noon and wanted to see some action in the evening.

The moment I arrived, after a cup of black coffee, the owner took me to view the back entrance hole and after that onto the BH.

The house was put into operation mode about 12 long months and there were not a single nest.

I can see some bird shit spots on the floor but I am not sure if those shits were those from some months ago.

Hmm.... after a close look at the design and the problems laid by the initial "Consultant" I showed the owner all the faults that were not right.

He shook his head a couple of times and understand what I mean. He jot down what I said but to make my points, I came out with a 30 little observations that I wanted him to act.

The number of entrance holes, the dimension of the hole, the arrangement of the tweeters, the color of the dog kennel, the rubbish on the floor, the humidifier usage, the nesting planks, the temperature of the BH and so forth.

I am sure he will be pretty busy for the next few days before his flight back to London.

Anyway, before we settle for the day's work, I took out my Black cloud plus the "Passionate Hormone" to give a short try before shutting the house down.

We set at the back of the BH and enjoy the activities resulted.

He was impressed with the number of birds jumping into the entrance hole.

He could not believed at first but I told him the house need to be placed in ICU for a few months.

I told him not to worry about the outcome.

Just take my word and it will be well taken care of.

Follow my recommendations and he will be on the right track.

After dinner rush to Sabak Bernam. Mr Hilmi of JPBD have a room for me to stay. Tomorrow he insisted that I give a 45 minutes talk to all the participants of a Forum conducted by JPBD Selangor.

What a marvellous day and hope everything will be okay.....

Sabak Bernam, Selangor Expecting 200 BH Owners On April 12th and 13th 2009 !!!

"Pak Harry This Is Mr H and I am from Sabak Bernam Local Council. We would like to invite you to be with YB Ronnie Yu on April 12th. We will have a total of 200 BH owners and 50 Local Council and JPBD officers at the Meet."

This was the phone message received today.

Being invited is an honor but to be given about 30 minutes to talk about swiftlet farming in front of such a crowd is "Frightening".

I have never given a talk to such a big crowd but I told my self there is nothing to be afraid of.

There are lots of people that I can meet and I am sure the topic which I will be talking about will be in the promotion of swiftlet farming industries in Malaysia.

I am on the impression that Selangor state Government will be very supportive of this industry and if they do there were be ample number of rich investors from Federal Territories.

The way forward is to be the example state in the whole of Malaysia.

I am all out for the Industry and will push the state to be 100% supportive of the industry.
