Weekend Reads - Pigs stuffed waste water before sale, Johore Bahru to tighten up Security Levels, China completes A huge bridge project

The following piglets look cute? Yes, they do. I took them during a trip to Hainan Island last year in Feb 2006. They are owned by my family members in Hainan Island. However, a horrible reality in China is make known to the public when villagers in Beijing forced-fed pigs with waste water before selling them to the slaughter house.

It is bad enough to know that the price of pork has doubled these few months. We do not need merchants to cheat and cause a scandal. There is enough diseases in relation to our human food chain. There are enough sick pigs to cause health problems to us. We do not want to end up dead in China. Why can't the locals think ethically in relation to this. The price has already doubled. You need feed them with waste water to increase your revenue. There is already a shortage all around China.

It would have been easier if China follows a system in which Taiwan merchants do. The Taiwanese ensured quality when they adopted a system in which only usable meat were weighed in the slaughterhouse, in which organs, fat, bones were not inside the calculation. If this is enforced by the locals, then there will not be bad taste for meat from out piggy who were forsaken their pigs rights.

China has completed yet another long stretch of Bridge crossing the East China Sea, known as the Hangzhou Bay Bridge. It is the longest bridge in the world across the sea, measure a distance of 36 kilometers The traffics of the bridge will be in operation in Jun 2008. You will expect a time cut in travel, saving a total of 120km for visitors and traders of Ningbo and Shanghai.

The bridge will be a great asset and further introduce development economically in Zhejiang province, ushing the already mega powered China market into a new sphere.

Back In Malaysia, we are hearing good news in which the Malaysian government finally, is doing something to curb the security problems in Johore Bharu. Recent scandals in which the police deny helping citizens who were calling out for help forced the local Chinese to request for enforcing of tighter management in Security. Johore will use air support to crack down on the syndicates and crime parties. They will patrol till 12th of July. How much impact will it have in improving the state is questionable. But it is good to see that actions are improvised downwards. Maybe along the way, we still can see some PTNNBCCB police eating snake, but that will be another story. Mr abdullah confirm want to develop Johore properly with Singapore. The local Chinese also don't wish to every weekend go RIOT and gain awareness. Let's see how things are in the coming months.

Personally thinking, I feel those rapers, murderers, robbers should all be face point shot dead and fed Nasi Babi as their last supper. Zzzz
