No swiftlets issue in Padawan
KUCHING: There are no illegal swiftlets rearing in Padawan, assured Padawan Municipal Council (MPP) chairman Lo Khere Chiang.
He said that such practices do not occur in the area but assured that if such problem existed, the council would take appropriate action.
“So far, no such thing. Because a lot of such problem happens in the city and town area and no one wants that to happen,” he told reporters at the MPP building here yesterday.
On the practices of rearing swiftlets in shophouses, he said that the building should be strictly used for commercial purposes or as specified in the respective land titles.
“It does not say that it is for rearing animals, swiftlets or even humans,” he jested.
“But the law is there (for swiftlet rearing) but one must obtain the proper licences from the authorities,” he said.
On Wednesday, Sibu Municipal Council (SMC) warned shophouse owners not to misuse their premises for swiftlets rearing.
The council told the owners to cease their operations or face stern action after receiving numerous complaints from the public against the music played on loudspeakers to attract the birds.
SMC chairman Clarence Ting told the monthly council meeting on Wednesday that apart from the noise pollution, swiftlet farming was also a health hazard.
He said the council would initiate a joint operation with the Forestry Department and the Land and Survey Department against the owners for breaching the conditions stated in their title deeds.
