MENGIKUT statistik diberi pengusaha, hasil sarang burung kini menyumbangkan RM1 bilion kepada pendapatan negara dan meningkat RM5 bilion menjelang 2015.
Perkembangan industri sarang burung hanya bermula sekitar 1990-an dan sedikit lewat berbanding negara jiran. Bagaimanapun, ia kini berkembang pesat. Industri ini juga memberi sumber pendapatan kepada lebih 8,000 pengusaha membabitkan kira-kira 400,000 sarang burung di seluruh negara. Apapun, kejayaan industri sarang burung ini perlu dicontohi.
Kejayaan industri ini mengingatkan saya terhadap potensi sama yang boleh dikembangkan dalam sektor lain seperti pertanian dalam bangunan secara besar-besaran untuk menghasilkan sayuran berkualiti yang boleh dieksport ke Asia dan Timur Tengah.
Kini negara terbabit mengimport kebanyakan makanan dan bahan minuman mereka dari Eropah seperti Austria.
Kita juga tidak boleh menolak kemungkinan untuk mengusahakan pertanian menegak di Malaysia, iaitu sesuatu kaedah pertanian yang dikatakan memberikan harapan baru kepada dunia untuk persediaan pada masa akan datang.
Contohnya, bekas Menteri Pertanian, Tan Sri Sanusi Junid pernah mengambil inisiatif menjayakan penanaman padi di atas bumbung yang suatu ketika dianggap tidak praktikal oleh banyak pihak, namun ternyata pada hari ini kaedah berkenaan boleh dilaksanakan dengan teknologi maju.
Kemajuan dalam teknologi pertanian juga memberikan peluang kepada penduduk bandar untuk mengusahakan pertanian di bandar dalam kawasan terhad dan ia suatu kegiatan yang baik untuk orang bandar dari segi jasmani dan rohani.

Eco Factor: Concept skyscraper including a multitude of eco technologies.
Living in skyscrapers is nothing new, but concepts now have started floating in which allow people to live and grow their own vegetables in the sky. Eco-minded architecture firm TR Hamzah & Yeang, has come up with a skyscraper design for Singapore, dubbed the EDITT (Ecological Design In The Tropics) Tower. The 26-story skyscraper that will be constructed using various recycled and recyclable materials will house some of the most eco-fascinating technologies ever to be incorporated into a high-rise building.
855 square meters of the area of this tower will be covered with solar panels that will generate enough energy to fulfill about 40% of its energy demands. The designers will also be trying to include an energy plant in the skyscraper that will convert human sewage into biogas. Another fascinating feature included is the ability to remove and add walls and floors according to demands.
Approximately, half of the surface area of the tower will be covered with organic local vegetation. The building will have its own rain water harvesting and gray-water systems that will not only provide water for the vegetation but also for toilet flushing.
पड़ी दिअतास bumbung
Pernahkah anda dengar, padi ditanam di atas bumbung?
Di Malaysia sendiri, iaitu di Kedah, projek perintis menanam padi di atas bumbung telah dilaksanakan di Kompleks Jihad Membasmi Kemiskinan di Paya Pahlawan.
Berdasarkan petikan di bawah, projek ni mungkin telah dijalankan pada awal 1996 kerana Tan Sri Sanusi menjadi Menteri Besar Kedah Darul Aman yang ketujuh pada tahun 1996 sehingga 1999.
Cadngan Tan Sri Dato’ Sanusi dibuat sejurus menerajui kepimpinan Kerajaan Negeri dengan meminta Lembaga Pertanian Muda (MADA) menjalankan kajian dan percubaan mengenai projek berkenaan.
Setakat yang saya tahu sekarang ni, ada orang tanam padi atas bumbung di Cheras, nanti la, kalau betul dan ada gambar, saya akan letak di ini.
Bagi saya, macam tak praktikal saja nak tanam padi atas bumbung, sebab berapa luas kawasan bumbung? Sekali tanam, mungkin lepas harvest, beras mampu bertahan selama setengah bulan saja.
Projek perintis menanam padi di atas bumbung kini sedang dilaksanakan di Kompleks Jihad Membasmi Kemiskinan di Paya Pahlawan yang dijangka boleh dituai pada bulan Mac tahun depan.
Sekaligus idea Menteri Besar, YAB. Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Sanusi Junid untuk mewujudkan Pusat Bacaan Rakyat (PUBARA) yang turut ditanam dengan padi di atas bumbungnya kini menjadi kenyataan.
Cadngan Tan Sri Dato’ Sanusi dibuat sejurus menerajui kepimpinan Kerajaan Negeri dengan meminta Lembaga Pertanian Muda (MADA) menjalankan kajian dan percubaan mengenai projek berkenaan.
Kini padi jenis MR84 ditanam di atas tapak seluas sebesar 95 meter persegi di atas bumbung sebuah bangunan di kompleks tersebut.
Projek menanam padi atas bumbung itu dilancarkan Kerajaan Negeri pada Disember tahun lalu dengan membina tiga lapis bumbung di atas bangunan untuk tujuan tersebut.
Kakitangan MADA ditugaskan menjayakan projek tersebut dengan kaedah penanaman semaian basah.

燕窝生产垂直耕种
林吉祥在一篇对于经济转形计划的评论中有提到“计划以燕窝生产作为使入息倍增努力的一部份，完全不能当真。即使现在燕窝生产对于国家经济的贡献是微乎其微，但它还是国家经济生产的一部分. 在数学的微积分的意思就是将每一个微小的单元整合起来 ,因此 燕窝的成长也能组成 国家的经济成长 .
每样事情的成功都要靠努力。槟城州的"零赤贫"计划也是如此,要靠计划及执行，才能成真.
根据马来西亚燕窝生产业者所提供的资料,马来西亚的燕窝生产起步较慢，但发但发展的非常快。目前，马来西亚有４万多间燕屋，约８０千人从事燕窝养殖，燕窝年产值已达１０亿马币。５年内预计将突破５０亿马币.事实及数据胜于雄辩。马来西亚燕窝生产业者的成功足以证明计划以燕窝生产作为使入息倍增努力的一部份计划以燕窝生产作为使入息倍增努力的一部份，完全能当真的。
马来西亚燕窝生产者的成功也引发我提出一个新的问题。如果我们们能够在燕窝生产取得成功，我们可否赏试进行垂直耕种。燕窝生产及垂直耕作，两者都是在屋内进行的农业活动。垂直耕种的成功可吸引更多年轻从事农业以防农村老化.这突破也能使我们在经济转型中取得更好的成绩。过去山努西当农长时曾提议在屋顶种稻而被人指为狂人,但是随着科技的进步，垂直耕种及屋内耕种并不是不可能的事了。我们也应把握天时，地利及人和往此发展.

Developing human capital is crucial
THE scholarships awarded to 50 UEC-holders from Chinese independent schools via 1Malaysia Development Bhd in conjunction with National Day is very encouraging.
It shows that the “1Malaysia, people first, performance now” initiative is not just mere slogan, but something that can be realised.
It also signifies that the Government is serious in developing human capital, taking the best from different communities.
Although the number of students in Chinese independent schools in Malaysia is not that huge, these schools have played an important role in producing political leaders, business entrepreneurs and professionals.
Prime MinisterDatuk Seri Najib Razak knows this very well and he has been very concerned about the development of Chinese independent schools since he served as Education Minister.
We hope this important step will lead to a transformation that will benefit the people and the nation, and eventually strengthen our status as a centre of excellence in education to attract talents from within and outside the country.
Human capital development is an important element in a competitive global environment because it will ensure that Malaysia will continue to develop through innovation and creativity.
GOH HOE HOE,

Look to Taiwan for SMI solutions
I HAVE attended a number of small and medium industry seminars and noticed that the participants are mainly concerned about the shortage of foreign workers and the availability of SMI loans. No doubt the labour shortage and cash liquidity are two of the major issues that need to be addressed. However, just addressing these two issues is not enough.
We must remember that the world is not static, but dynamic. Countries where our foreign workers come from such as Indonesia and Vietnam are progressing well and soon they too are likely to face labour shortages. Therefore, in the long run our small and medium industries cannot totally
depend on foreign workers.
The operating environment of SMIs resembles an ecosystem chain where the survival of SMIs depends on a variety of factors such as the social and economic stability and investment from within and outside the country. The fall in foreign investment capital will definitely have a negative impact on the performance of SMIs in the downstream. Therefore, it is important for us to maintain a conducive environment to attract local and foreign investments.
The Japanese ambassador to Malaysia, Masahiko Horie, recently said that Japanese companies in Malaysia are concerned about the shortage of labour and knowledge-based skilled workers. If the situation persists , they may relocate their labour-intensive plants.
We must not take this lightly and hopefully the relevant government agencies will arrange a dialogue with them to identify their needs.
Malaysia is now facing the problem that Taiwan SMIs faced at the turn of the 20 century. At that time Taiwan’s small and medium enterprises were dependent on foreign workers. I remember a friend who went to Taiwan to become a vegetable stall assistant in a market.
Tough measures against the illegal foreign workers and better job opportunities in Malaysia drew back many Malaysians working in Taiwan. As a result, many small and medium enterprises in Taiwan faced labour shortages.
The Taiwanese government and SMIs took a series of effective measures to adjust themselves to the change, which included relocating labour intensive industries to mainland China, adoption of automation and efficient workflow systems, changing the attitude of youngsters towards blue- collar jobs through certification programmes.
It is high time that we learn from Taiwan’s small and medium enterprises on how they tackled their problems

中小型企业作业的环境犹如生态炼http://www.malaysiakini.com/letters/142323
我有多次参加过由华团主办的中小型工业研讨会，发现到每次参加会议的业者所关注的主要是融资及外劳短缺问题。无可否认中小型企业所面对的劳工短缺及融资是应该即刻获的关注。但是单单只是对着这两项事件是无济于事的。
世界是动态的，我们能进步，别的国家也能进步，我们的外劳来原国如印尼及越南也不是天天在进步吗，有一天它们也会面对劳工短缺的问提。所以我国的中小型工业不能长期依赖外劳。
作业的环境犹如生态炼（Ecosystemchain)，中小型企业的存亡有赖多种的因素如于社会及经济的稳定及外来的投资。当外资减少后，处于下游的小型企业也会受到影响。因此我们应该有良好的投资及作业的生态以吸引国内外的投资。
最近日本驻马来西亚大使堀江正彦有表示，外劳和知识型熟练员工短缺，已经成了困扰日商和其他外商的最大问题。如果大马国内外劳和知识型员工短缺的情况持续没有改善，他不排除日商会被迫撤资，到人力密集又廉宜的国家。这是我们不可不关注这种不健康的现象。我建议官方及中小型工业公会与外资作互动，以了解它们的需求。
马来西亚现在所面对的问提是台湾在20世记80到90年代所面对过的。当年台湾的中小型企业对外劳的依赖度是非常高，甚至当年马来西亚也有人远到台湾跳飞机帮人卖菜，后来因为马来西亚的经济大大的改善，跳飞机的人就开始回到马来西亚功作，再加上90年代后期台湾严厉取啼外劳而使到台湾中小型企业面对外劳短缺的问题。
为了生存台湾业者不得不作出调整及改变，把劳力密集的工业转至中国大陆，改善功作流程及通过认证改变年青人对蓝领职业的态度。有鉴于此我国的中小型企业应学习台湾，从财务融通，经营管理，生产技术，研究发展，资讯管理，工业安全，防治污染，市场行销，互助合作，品质提升多方面来来看待及解决马来西亚小型企业面对的问题。
