Najib garis 3 konsep penting ekonomi

KUALA LUMPUR 28 Mac — Presiden Umno yang baru Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak menggariskan tiga konsep penting ekonomi untuk membawa negara ke landasan yang lebih tinggi dan kukuh pada masa depan. Timbalan Perdana yang juga Menteri Kewangan itu berkata tiga konsep itu —ekonomi bernilai tinggi, ekonomi berasaskan inovasi dan produktiviti serta kreativiti — akan melonjakkan ekonomi negara. “Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi sering menegaskan betapa pentingnya nilai tambah tetapi saya berpendapat nilai tambah itu perlu digandingkan dengan nilai tinggi,” katanya ketika menggulung perbahasan pada Perhimpunan Agung Umno 2008 di sini hari ini. Contoh ekonomi nilai tinggi yang boleh diceburi usahawan ialah perusahaan burung Walit yang memberikan pulangan lumayan, yang boleh dijayakan di banyak tanah terbiar di bahagian Pantai Timur dan kawasan lain di seluruh negara. Timbalan Perdana Menteri turut mencadangkan beberapa perusahaan nilai tinggi lain yang boleh diceburi usahawan tempatan termasuk rumpai laut untuk pasaran eksport ke Jepun dan negara lain.

************************************************************************************

Our new Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak is supportive of swiftlet farming as this “high value” lucrative industry can generate a steady source of income for our country. Bumiputras are especially encouraged to explore into this golden industry and profit from the current lackluster market.


Everyone is given a piece of cake, you have your piece and I have mine.


It is indeed a timely call and good break through for the trade to thrive and take off. The federal government at last has realized the importance of this industry. At least we have made some encouraging progress after being ignored like an unwanted child for so long. Hope the government can really buck up, spearhead and lead the industry to the next height.


However, it is equally important to have the blessing of the local authorities and their supports too.


What we worry most is that the local authorities so far knew next to nothing about swiftlet farming. All this while, the road lied ahead of us is long, curve, bumpy, uneven, dark and scary. Our lamentations are always falling onto deaf ears. The guidelines drafted so far is like bikini. What is revealed is less interesting than what was not. There is no uniformity in the application procedures and we are going round in circle without proper direction given. In order to expedite the BH permit application, we only need to know who we know and how much we give.


Hope this time it is for real.

  1. The new government must walk the talk. At the moment, you see officers confisticated bird nests at the airport and local councils officers tear down BHs and so on !

  2. The Fed. talk but the states don't listen and that the problem as in most government departments. Communication breakdown accidentally or intentionally. Either ways, smell problem for the BHs anyway.....only way is to be united and fight the battle and hope that we will eventually win the war.
