Pig protests

Protest protest protest. Object of protest this time is on pig farm. Yes, and whatever ammunitions UMNO can find, they will use it to their advantage. Teresa Kok was one of the earlier victims in which her blog was a target by Utusan that sent Teresa into a defensive mode on her article on the pig farm in Selangor.

Frankly I want to ask this protesters which I assume mostly made of UMNO, whats their anger is all about? Is it because pig is considered "haram" in Islam or is it because its an environmental hazzard or both? As we all know, this project was initally agreed upon by BN state govt although now Khir Toyo said he agreed only on principal, dont know what he means by that and I dont even care. Tanjung Sepat is plagued with illegal pig farms and polution today, so to centralized it under one roof in Kuala Langat utilizing the latest technology from Germany certainly is a viable option to pursue.

It doesnt help as well, Ali Rustam's blog Dari Kacamata Mohd Ali Rustam, http://www.mohdalirustam.blogspot.com/ penned a writing titled Ladang ternakan babi hadiah pilihan raya. But based on the barrage of negative comments he has received in his blog, I believe he can pack his bags and give this topic a rest.

So we are witnessing protests in Selangor, then why protests seems muted in Sarawak? In Sarawak, it was reported that there are plans to build a pig farm to cater 30% of Singapore's domestic needs, located in Pasir Puteh along the Pan Borneo highway.The farm is estimated to cost RM70 million, not too far off from the RM100 million project in Selangor. So is there hidden motive behind these protests? In Sarawak, BN is controlling the state elsewhere in Selangor its an Opposition controlled state. So its okay to have pig farm under BN but not under Opposition? I seriously believe BN hasnt learn their lesson yet.

If BN is is trying to destroy Selangor state govt credibility hoping to drag PAS along with it, then they have underestimated the voters intelligence yet again.
