Canned pineapple is one of our export crop. It is a peat crop. Much of it is grown by Lee Pineapple at Pontian. Farms that grow the crop will sell their produce to the Lee factory.
Used to, Lembaga Perindustrian Nenas Malaysia (Pineapple Industry Board Malaysia) carried out their own research on agronomy at its station in Pontian. It had a canning research facility at Skudai. Come MARDI in 1969 took over all their research functions.
Since MARDI researches are very encompassing on crops other than rubber, oil palm, cocoa, and also on animals. It has more than enough to chew. As it is now only several MARDI researchers working on pineaaple but they are also involved with other research responsibilities.
Thus,it was bad planning Mardi got involved directly into pineapple research. Pineapple research lost continuity of manpower, aggressiveness, focus and years.
As it is, the Board's function is more towards product promotion. The people manning it are not scientists. They are from PSD.
There has been talk of establishing pineapple plantation in the peat soil of Sarawak. But without a critical mass of competent crop scientists we remain hesitant.
Pineapple research in Malaysia has been maligned. To forge ahead to meet global demand (now shortage) pineapple research need to be revamped along its original mould.

prk: bn menyerlah tapi pm masuk hospital: nov 5 2010
Sustainable Living Institute (SAVE) said...
PM berehat dihospital dengan perasaan aman dan gembira. Harap halatuju kerajaan beliau akan datang lebih mencerminkan kehendak rakyat jelata.
Tiap penyakit ada ubatnya melainkan yang diqada'kan Allah. Khazanah hutan rimba dan tumbuhan disekeliling maupun binatang boleh mengubati penyakit tertentu.
Alhamdulillah, saya baru mendapat ramuan tumbuhan hutan yang dipercayai boleh mengubati cancer dan sedang mengujinya.

High and low looking for Jho Low: Sept 24 2010
al-Deen said...
It seems that this JLow guy is no small go getter or go for it type. Agaknya, alang2 menyelok perkasam biar kepangkal lengan.
It takes a character and means to seek such fast and glamourous lifestyle and livelihood. Let it be for it is none of my business.
In business and politics there will be always suckers out there who need run-around boys, frontmen, proxi to get things done and other favours. Otherwise there would be no Tengku Wong and the likes.
Najib as the PM has the whole government and private machiney at his disposal to run the country. He has no time for high stake private deals or public deals that the rakyat has no knowledge. Suddenly the 5B TIA deal timbul! Singapore deal done! Everyone is in high income group! Hooray, hooray!
Najib has more than enough baggage from his mispronouncements and misjudgements to drown him and his honchos in pru13.

BN tawan semula Hulu Selangor: 25 Apr 2010

FELDA was in the limelight during the by-election campaign. With Najib's favoritism and off and on give-aways to FELDA so what's the problem?
Apparently, the agency's problems have been swept under the carpet only to surface during elections when other political parties want to expose them.
What the chairman has been doing?Why the setllers have been misappropriated of their land? The real problem in this country is that we maintain recycled leaders at all levels in the government machinery.
The has-beens have poor track records or corrupt. In Japan they quit or commit harakiri.

Perlembagaan vs pelaksanaan menekan bumiputra: Apr 11 2010
Sustainable Living Institute (SAVE) said...
Our leader now says that we are rentiers and petronage suckers. Two new putdown words. At the major level aren't GLCs are rentiers and petronage personified of the supposedly Malay-controlled government? Look who's who at CIMB.
SEDCs control and rent out so much state land. So what is he talking about? Putting catchwords without deep thinking.
Anyway what's wrong with rentier and petronage as a business strategy especially in a global market. Business agents have been used since time immemorial. I can't possibly manage my farm at CHighlands by remote control. So I rent it out.
We want to believe and follow leaders who do and say meaningful and rational things. What a compliment he gave to Robert Lau (just passed away) 'Toilet King' when he put all-out campaign for cleaner toilets! Don't he has a better term? Cakap terengkak-engkak.
Look what Tan Siew Sin did for his people. When the British were leaving many of their plantations were for sale. The estates were cleverly fragmented into holdings or units of 10acres or larger and thus affordable for the Chinese. They got the best land with infrastructure in placed. What I got from the MALAY YB who approved the lease of land for agriculture is 5 years!
Tun Razak gave the whole of Genting for a gambling hub. That income is unavoidably mixed-up with the national coffer. How is that we declare Malaysia is an Islamic country? Siapa yang kaya. Tanggunglah.

MEB: Pemerintah sedia menghadap risiko politik: Mar 6 2010
al-Din-amin said...
The proposed MEB and the proclaimed Ekuinas, 1Malaysia, PERMATA etc are all poorly justified or unjustified heavyweights that are going to sink UMNO, Melayu , Barisan and rakyat as a whole into an economic and political mess. Malaysia may develop into a half-way failed state. What is this endless sloganeering?
By taking in corrupts, have-beens, non-performers Najib has fallen into his own foolhardy doing – an entrapment he can't extricate himself. But we can do that service for him! To many Malays he and his ignoramus group are a liability to UMNO. The invitable cure is Najib has to go willingly. Ku Li is waiting.

Pemerintah sedia mengahadapi risiko politik: Mar 6 2010
SUSTAINABLE LIVING INSTITUTE (SAVE) said...
This is the age of sloganeering and rebranding! Very true indeed of what Dr Mahathir said about half-past sixes in control of the country. They haven't learn anything with their many years in the cabinet.
They talk big and feel safe for themselves least for the meantime. Bangsa is dispensible. We must catch votes!
Out of his own doing Najib now has to shoulder many biawak hidup. Things can't go right for him and worse the RAKYAT suffers with all these people putting trash ideas.
The economic situation must be that bad. My daughter teaching at Skudai was instructed to bring students for swimming competiton at Batu Pahat. She can't claim mileage, food and lodging! The Pengetua said that classroom fans can be only switched on after 10am.
What is this PERMATA scheme with RM millions being allocated? High performance schools to be given RM1 million? Much salary increase for Pengetua who performed well? Don't we know that it is the ordinary teachers who slog even weekends to bring up the name of the school? The Pengetuas are always out of office to attend meetings and courses.
Many of our government systems are suffering from sustainability crisis. Talk is cheap.

Royalti Minyak: Mar 1 2010
SUSTAINABLE LIVING INSTITUTE (SAVE) said...
The issue is not so much Najib lawan Ku Li. It is more about justice and equity sharing of resources. Terengganu, Sarawak and Sabah get their oil royalties (and not wang ihsan) why not Kelantan? Their oil rigs are also more than 3 nautical miles away from the shore.
For 34 long years the BN government has deprived the people of Kelantan their due of needed funds for development. The Federal is playing parochial politics over the state whereas the case is above and beyond such sentiments and even above race. A whole group of humanity is jeopardised.
Ku Li has been delienated in UMNO camps for a long while. People are jostling for positions even the upstart KJ wants to be the youngest PM! Perhaps he is not a groupie, no herd mentality, and don't throw money around to buy votes.
He has a fighting call, a legitimate one based on strong legal and moral grounds. He is fighting for the people. The simple solution is for Najib to give in. Nothing to lose face but for the sake of fairness and sustainability of communities, state and nation

Mohd Najib: Feb 21 2010
SUSTAINABLE LIVING INSTITUTE (SAVE) said...
Apa yang DS Rosmah hendak bayangkan ialah "Still water runs deep". Jangan sangka air yang tenang itu tiada buaya.
For every succesful man there is a woman as the saying goes. The public may have a wrong notion of DSR's frontline approach as often depicted by the media or word of mouth. Hence the hidden hand perception. We are used to sideline approach, rightly so of wives of former premiers and top politicians.
It is sometimes difficult to hide ones true emotions and personality especially under stress and duress. Thought that table banging, finger pointing and fist showing is part of it. But that is not good either for it may end up in fracas. Anyway, the most important thing is coming up with the right decisions at the right time to solve the prioritised issues with wisdom to be translated into public good.
On the PERMATA Pintar program is something like adding salt to sea water or export carpets to Belgium. Those children involve are creme de la creme and come from urban, established families who have the means and the know what to do with their children.
The fact is that the needy and deprived ones in the rurals should be given more attention in terms of facilities and opportunities. This would be fair. Go and see the small town and rural schools in Sarawak and Sabah and you know what I mean. The same applies to sekolah BISTARI concept carried out under Najib before.

Tigers: Feb 14 2010
Living with Pak Belang.
Seeing the pitiful state of an Orang Asli household, I asked them,"Mengapa tak bela ayam?"
"Pak Belang datang nanti", Dolah answered.
We have encroached into all Orang Asli reservations with logging, development, and modern agriculture. They are driven further into the jungle to gather food sources and materials to trade. Alas, the resources are so meagre that they have to resort to hunting tigers for much needed cash.
Don't blame them but ourselves for destroying their ecosystem and not doing enough to provide means of livelihood.
If you really want to see how marginalised and ill-treated they are the perkampungan Orang Asli Lojing, Kelantan is such a pitiful state. Several years ago their kampong was surrounded by greeneries but now much bulldozed to their very doorsteps. The river where they used to bath, wash, and fish is murky with eroded soil.
Is this humanity in the land of Nik Aziz?
