The Gemas feedlot debacle; half-truths as well as pertinent questions Nawawi Mohamad
NOV 2 A RM73.64 million supervision plan in Gemas, Negri Sembilan related to Minister Datuk Shahrizat Abdul Jalil's family to furnish 8,000 heads of cattle in 2010 as well as ultimately 60,000 heads in 2015 has incited in to a mess when production was during usually 3,289 heads in 2010 which is usually 41.1 per cent.
This was reported by a Auditor-General as well as subsequently reported in a media.
In parliament Noh Omar, who is a Agriculture Minister, deemed a plan successful since "the total series of cattle brought in to a plantation between 2008 as well as 2010 was 8,016".
But a categorical purpose of a plantation is to furnish cows as well as not to move in cows from somewhere else as well as feed them prior to slaughter! When you speak about producing, it involves breeding as well as everything which goes with it. The stating by a media as well as reply by a apportion was not wholly correct. The money concerned was RM131 million (not usually RM73.64 million), a apportionment of a RM250 million soothing loan, as well as thus distant RM131 million have been disbursed as confirmed as well as shielded by a budding minister.
The Gemas feedlot is ostensible to be a National Feedlot Authority in as well as with a Ministry of Agriculture as well as a Negri Sembilan government. The annual aim envisaged by a Ministry of Agriculture is to furnish 1.3 million heads in 2010 as well as not 60,000. It is a comprehensive intrigue with a Gemas feedlot centre as a categorical anchor with 310 heavenly body feedlot sites all over a country as well as a single in isolation feedlot. This is how a loan was allocated: a Gemas feedlot was since RM80 million as well as a rest RM40 million. The Gemas feedlot has to furnish (for itself) 60,000 heads annually in 2010 (not 2015) as well as it has a vital purpose to play in supplying a tributary cows, food, technical assistance, advice as! well as alternative services for a complete feedlot intrigue national together with a in isolation one.
Now remember, a aim was 1.3 million cows hold it or not!
Thus when a categorical player in Gemas could usually produced 3,289 heads for itself in 2010, how could it provide all a tributary cows, food as well as alternative services for a rest of a heavenly body feedlots?
The alternative subject which needs to be asked is what happens to a 311 feedlots in a scheme? The subsequent subject is what should be finished next? Wouldn't it be most cheaper to usually import a cows? Is a MACC going in? This is a money-wasting intrigue as a outcome of moneymaking as well as a single some-more everlasting weight a rakyat has to bear. Could it be which a Umno/BN supervision suspicion which a rakyat are cows?
