Kerajaan Negeri Selangor berharap pihak yang begitu prihatin tentang kelulusan Projek Ternakan Babi Moden di Selangor memeriksa fakta mereka terlebih dahulu.

Projek di Ladang Tumbuk, Mukim Batu Kuala Langat ini telah diluluskan oleh Kerajaan Negeri dibawah Barisan Nasional dalam Majlis Mesyuarat Kerajaan Negeri yang dipimpin YB Dato' Seri Dr. Khir Toyo pada 30 Januari 2008.

Dalam Majlis Mesyuarat Kerajaan Negeri pada 2 April 2008, Pentadbiran Kerajaan Negeri Selangor yang baru merasakan wajar meneruskan projek tersebut dengan memantapkan lagi proses pelaksanaan memandangkan kawasan tersebut sememangnya sudah menjadi tapak ladang babi utama di negeri Selangor dan ia memenuhi piawaian kualiti yang tinggi selaras dengan kehendak Kementerian Pertanian dan Industri Asas Tani, Kementerian Sumber Asli dan Alam Sekitar dan Kerajaan Negeri Selangor.

Sebarang bahan buangan dari ladang tersebut akan diguna semula dalam bentuk biogas untuk menjanakan elektrik, air untuk pembersihan ladang serta penanaman makanan untuk babi yang diternak. Justeru, tiada bahan buangan yang akan menjadi sisa dan keluar dari kawasan ladang tersebut.

Ternakan Babi: Bumiputera, wakil UMNO terlibat
Apr 14, 08 12:35pm
Syarikat bumiputera turut terlibat dalam projek penternakan Babi di Selangor yang menimbulkan kontroversi minggu lepas dan seorang wakil rakyat UMNO "di belakangnya", kata seorang pemimpin MCA.

Syarikat tersebut, yang terlibat dalam satu usahasama, bercadang menggunakan wang - dilaporkan menelan belanja RM100 juta - daripada sumber-sumber dana program alam sekitar Pertubuhan Bangsa-bangsa Bersatu (PBB).

Mendedahkan perkara itu kepada satu sidang media hujung minggu lalu, ketua biro pertanian tradisi MCA Datuk Dr Lee Chong Meng berkata syarikat bumiputera itu berhasrat membawa masuk teknologi Jerman untuk projek tersebut.

Akhbar The Sun hari ini yang mengutip laporan The Oriental Daily kelmarin menyebut, wakil rakyat BN-UMNO bagi kerusi Tajung Sepat, Datuk Karim Mansor, bersama seorang ketua kampung di situ turut bersama dalam rombongan ke luar negara untuk melihat teknologi tersebut.

Karim antara pemimpin UMNO yang lantang menyuarakan isu itu di akhbar-akhbar berbahasa Melayu minggu lepas. Sementara ketua kampung itu turut menyertai bantahan projek tersebut di depan bangunan kerajaan negeri Selangor di Shah Alam.

Dr Lee berkata beliau mengetahui segala-galanya tentang projek tersebut "seperti tapak tangannya sendiri" kerana terlibat sendiri dengan semua mesyuarat berhubung perkara tersebut.

THE original centralised pig farming plan under the previous Selangor state government was for a bumiputra company to bring in German technology and to utilise funds from United Nations environment programme.

MCA traditional agriculture bureau chairman Datuk Dr LeeChong Meng, who disclosed this on Saturday, also revealed a preliminary proposal for the company to impose a RM50 levy on each pig sold by the farmers,for the treatment of effl uents.

According to a report in Oriental Daily News yesterday, Lee said Tanjung Sepat assemblyman Datuk Karim Mansor, who has been criticising the centralised pig farming project in the Malay dailies lately, was the person behind the plan to have a bumiputra firm bring in German technology for the project.

He said the previous state government under Datuk Seri Dr Mohamad Khir Toyo had sent a delegation to Germany on a study tour of the German technology used in pig farming, and Mansor and Ladang
Tumbuk village head Mohamad Tarmudi Tushiran were part of
the delegation.

Mohamad Tarmudi was among some 200 people who gathered in front of the Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah building where the Mentri
Besar’s office is located to protest the state government’s move to carry on with the

RM100 million modern pig farming project in Kuala Langat last week.
“Today I want to stress that the RM100 million meant to upgrade pig farming effluent system would not come from the state government. Datuk Karim was to bring in a German company to set up a joint venture company with a bumiputra firm,” Lee told a “tell-all” press conference in Kuala Lumpur.

“This joint venture company was to utilise an allocation from the UN fund for environment programme to help (modernise) the proposed centralised pig farming.”

Lee said he knew the project like the back of his hand as he had attended all the meetings regarding the centralised pig farming project approved by the previous state government.

“Initially, it was suggested that a levy of RM50 be imposed for each pig sold as charges for effl uent treatment. But we (the bureau) and pig farmers felt it was too high.The company (tasked with bringing in German pig farming technology) agreed to put the levy talk on hold,” he said.

Lee said he hoped the Pakatan Rakyat state government would look into the issue of levy on effluent treatment, which he believed should be reduced progressively.

At the press conference, he strongly criticised Karim and Mohamad Tarmudi who, out of personal political interests, made an about-turn on the centralised pig farming project.

He also urged UMNO leaders to respect the pork-eating culture of the Chinese.

Karim was not the only Selangor UMNO leader to have washed his hands of the centralised pig farming project. Khir had also denied having
approved the project during his tenure.

Lee said early last year, then MCA state exco members Datuk Ch’ng Toh Eng and Datuk Tang See Hang obtained the green light from Khir to relocate 132 pig farms in the state to a 460ha integrated pig farming area in Ladang Tumbuk, in the Kuala Langat district.
He said most of the 132 farms involved were actually from Ladang Tumbuk or from within the Kuala Langat district.

“In January this year, prior to the dissolution of parliament, the Selangor state government approved the project. Among those who gave their support to the project was Karim,” Lee said, adding that there were
minutes and records to prove all these.

He said based on his knowledge, centralised or integrated pig farming is a good way to modernise pig farming, and he challenged the Pakatan
Rakyat to also modernise pig farming in states under its control, that is Perak, Penang and Kedah.

Lee also urged Health Minister Datuk Liow Tiong Lai to take stern action against pig farmers found still using beta-agonist.

It was reported last week that two farms in Selangor were suspected to have been feeding their pigs with the the banned growth enhancer.
