Inertia...Currently we produce 65% of our rice need. Inertia for self-sufficiency are due to:<br />1. Failure to understand that food (rice) security is national security meaning that in times of war, calamity, severe world shortage we cannot feed the population for long.<br />2. The world's rice market is thin compared to other grains especially wheat. There is a scramble to get into the rice market share, its price will be high.<br />3. The prevailing climatic changes of flood, pollution, temperature rise, water level rise will decrease rice production. The worst case scenario of rice devastation in China - will buy all excess stocks of Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia. We are we going to import from? China is willing to pay sky high price.<br />3. Politicians like the short term approach to make impact and sweep problems under the carpet. Anyway their terms of office are short and they change portfolios often. So they say import, the cost is cheaper. This is quite true. How about in the long term for generations to come.<br />4. Rice cultivation is back breaking in the hot sun. It has cultural aspects. The Minangkabau descendants of NS have lost their culture of 'kerbau', gotong royong, mengocar etc because they have lost their fields due to irrigation mismanagement, silting of rivers, deforestation. Compare to Sabah, they still keep the harvest festival.<br />5. There is discontinuity of technology and knowledge transfer to younger generation in rice growing. Small acreage is not self-supporting, a factor causing rural-urban migration.<br />6. Rice production has been a disjointed affair - MARDI in research, Bernas in marketing, Jabatan Pertanian extension. There are other aspects and activities not in tandem and poorly taken care of. By establishing a Board will smoothen out and synchronise the flow of efforts.<br />7. For the sake of the country and generations to come Mardi must be ready to relinquish its research on rice and Bernas not feel threatened but will be strengthened by the Board.<br />8. Bernas monopoly if there is, is the result of the government poor policy and organisation of rice production. Rice production consists of long and complex processes. We should encourage competitive systems not monopolistic tendencies.<br />Sustainable Living Institute (SAVE)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00394358909511823633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-293986270107200488.post-24395882090123951672017-12-15T16:30:35.707+08:002017-12-15T16:30:35.707+08:00Kangkang,

My only issue was with the parties she was referring to.<br /><br />Personally, I believe that understanding what a person is trying to say is more important than how a person says it.<br /><br />I cannot comment on why Prof Sawi picks on your English as I think he can explain himself better than I can.<br /><br />//Let me correct to adik Fatin.sepatutnya kena tulis 'He just want to test his intelligence'//<br /><br />For the sake of this discussion, I will make ONE exception to my policy of not correcting another person's English.<br /><br />Pls do not take it as criticism.<br /><br />If I am not mistaken, the correct way of writing the sentence is 'He just wants to test his intelligence'.<br /><br />Pls don't ask me to explain why it is right because I don't really know the precise rules which govern the construction of the sentence.<br /><br />Maybe somebody else who speaks better English than all of us here can explain :)<br /><br />GladiatorAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-293986270107200488.post-73072294554181252532017-12-15T12:28:20.989+08:002017-12-15T12:28:20.989+08:00fatin,

I just realised, right now, about 10 secs ago, that maybe I should try making steamed cakes.. Technically that is not baking and I have always like kuih koci....<br /><br />The way I see it, we are just a bunch of people who share a common interest but presenting different views.<br /><br />We all want a better society, we all have different ideas of how to get there but none of us really have all the answers.<br /><br />GladiatorAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
