Sometimes when people say DAP is a narrow Chinese party, I agree. Especially after Teresa Kok announced with great pride that a RM100mil ‘modern’ pig farm has been approved.
I think this kinda bak kut teh posturing is very childish and doesn’t take into account the feelings of Muslims. To most Muslims, pigs are really quite offensive.
I feel the new government should be a bit more sensitive in dealing with such issues to prevent one-upmanship as in “yay, the Chinese can eat more pork now”.
It’s well-known that pig farms are dirty and pollute the environment. They are also very profitable. Malacca, under Ali Rustam (BN-UMNO), probably has the most farms per square km, if I am not wrong.
My suggested solutions:
1. Move pig farms out of developed states to countries like Vietnam.
2. Farms should be more environmentally friendly and hygienic.
3. No need to glorify such a stupid approval. I believe Malaysians are more concerned about accountability, transparency, a better economy, etc.
4. Teresa should hire a PR agent, if she is serious about being a Malaysian leader. Btw, why are all her assistants Chinese? Please let me know if she has any non-Chinese full-time staff.
Read Khir Toyo’s response at his blog.
I say again, I find this piggy politics very childish. Dietary concerns are probably the last thing on the rakyat’s minds.
Also, pork is among the dirtiest of meats. Disease-ridden and smelly unless properly treated and cooked, we should probably ban the meat in the name of healthier living.
